La Posta Vecchia hosts exclusive-use weddings, executive retreats and company events, with up to 200 guests across its indoor and outdoor spaces and 21 rooms and suites that sleep up to 45. The villa, once the private home of J. Paul Getty, stands on the sea at Palo Laziale, in the municipality of Ladispoli, about 40 minutes from Rome.
Seminars and company events
For work sessions, the villa has one meeting room that holds up to 40 people for conferences, seminars or corporate meetings. It can be combined with the terraces, the garden and the indoor lounges for meals, aperitifs and evening events, which suits a leadership retreat or an incentive stay more than a large conference. Under an exclusive-use booking, a group of up to 45 overnight guests has all indoor and outdoor areas to itself, including the sea-view terraces, the pools, the beach, the beauty club, the gym and the meeting room. The events team assists with planning, and one member of the team stays on site on the day. Garden picnics and dance parties on the terrace are among the formats the hotel mentions.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings require a full buyout of the villa. Celebrations can run over several days, with the 21 rooms and suites reserved for the couple and their closest guests, while the reception can grow to up to 200 guests across indoor and outdoor spaces. Suppliers are coordinated through the wedding planner or event agency the couple appoints. Fireworks, a marquee in the common areas and a custom setup of the venue can be added on request.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel publishes a capacity for each event space. The Front Terrace, available only with exclusive use, and the Side Terrace combined with the Sant'Angelo Castle area each take up to 120 guests for lunch or dinner. The Side Terrace alone seats 100. The Garden takes 100 for an aperitif or after-dinner drinks. Inside, The Cesar seats 65 to 70 for a meal, the Getty Studio holds 60 for an aperitif or open bar, and the Sala Camino seats 50 for lunch or dinner. The meeting room takes up to 40.
Accommodation
There are 21 rooms and suites, from Tower Rooms and Superior Rooms to named suites such as the Olive Suite, the Medici Suite, the Castello Suite and the Getty Suite. With exclusive use, breakfast is included for all resident guests.
Catering
Meals are served in-house. Da Aurelio, the hotel restaurant, offers a chef-led menu built on local dishes, and Bar Piranesi handles drinks and aperitifs, including open-bar service in the Getty Studio.
History and setting
The villa was the private residence of J. Paul Getty, and the Renaissance furniture he left is still on display in the rooms, next to contemporary pieces. Roman mosaics are preserved on site, and groups can add a guided visit of the private Roman museum. The hotel opens seasonally: in 2026 from April 1 to November 8, and in 2027 from March 25 to November 7.
Getting there
The villa is about 35 minutes by road from Rome Fiumicino airport, which makes it practical for international guests arriving on the day, and about 40 minutes from Rome.
