La Posta Vecchia
If you want a memorable night outside of Rome, or a way to break up the trip to or from the airport, book a suite at La Posta Vecchia. The 17th-century villa that J. Paul Getty called his “serene and heavenly home” is now a hotel owned by the Scio family, of Il Pellicano fame. Built just above a black sand beach and ringed by lovingly landscaped formal gardens, the villa retains much of the art and furniture that Getty amassed for it. Each of the nineteen rooms and suites is different, but all bear museum-quality touches, such as coffered ceilings, antique carved-wood doors, medieval tapestries and canopy beds built for royalty. There’s even a museum of Etruscan treasures, discovered during a recent renovation. For romantic settings, it’s hard to beat the exquisite indoor pool, with its arched windows facing the sea, and the oceanfront terrace, where the Mediterranean laps beneath the stone walls. Rooms from $790.
