"Owned by Marie-Louise Sciò, this hotel was one I was determined to film in, and we ultimately used it for the Bavazza party after I’d been eager to find a way to shoot there." - Emily Zemler
"Contributions went toward once-in-a-honeymoon experiences like a stay at the beautiful Hotel Eden in Rome, as well as impressive private tours with operator Imago Artis Travel and a few languorous, sun-soaked days at La Posta Vecchia, an estate off the coast of Ladispoli."
"Built on the ruins of an ancient seaside villa, La Posta Vecchia has a long history of noble ownership. The estate-turned-hotel was originally laid out in the 17 th century. Then, in the 1960s, American billionaire J. Paul Getty purchased the property and turned it into his seaside home. During Getty’s residence, the palace was outfitted with ancient works of art, as well as original works and furnishings from the 15 th through 17 th centuries. The estate now belongs to the Sciò family, who have transformed it into one of the Leading Hotels of the World. The 19 rooms, including 8 suites, are spacious, and many offer views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Each is outfitted with antique furnishings, while bathrooms are clad in precious marbles. Although La Posta Vecchia is only 30 miles northwest of Rome (about a one-hour drive, traffic permitting), it should be treated as a destination hotel rather than a home base for day trips to the Italian capital. To make the most of the luxurious accommodations, tack a dedicated stay onto the beginning or end of a visit to Rome."
