The Roman Coast + Rome

May 2025

 

Relax in the privacy, luxury and the splendor only a renovated 17th C. Palazzo on the Roman Coast can offer. La Vecchia Posta mixes Renaissance opulence with modern amenities that include a private museum (featuring artifacts from Tiberius’s villa), a spa, indoor pool, and exquisite dining. After all, it was J. Paul Getty’s former home.

Add unique rooms and suites featuring pieces from Getty’s original collection set right on the azure-blue Tyrrhenian Sea. Enjoy dolce far niente (leave it to the Italians to have a term for the the sweetness of doing nothing), or sail, tour a local castle, or see the surrounds by horseback.

The counterpoint: Rome. Inviting, relaxing, appealing, and stimulating all at once, full of hidden gems and out-of-the-way delights that keep us coming back annually. It is literally the world’s greatest outdoor museum masquerading as a city. See Rome our way, and chances are, it will become your Eternal City, too.
