From the Bavazzatini launch at La Posta Vecchia to fashion events in Venice, discover all the Italian hotels featured in Emily in Paris Season 5, with scene-accurate details and insider tips.
Season 5 of Emily in Paris brings Italy firmly into the storyline, with Rome and Venice hosting some of the season’s most talked-about moments. According to Netflix Tudum, the Italian locations are tied to specific campaign launches, performances, and fashion events, with hotels playing a visible role as event settings rather than background scenery.
Below are all the Italian hotels featured in Season 5, with scene-accurate context and insider insight for planning a real-life stay.
Rome
La Posta Vecchia Hotel
The scene
Agence Grateau teams up with the fictional Italian coffee brand Bavazza to launch the Bavazzatini at La Posta Vecchia Hotel. The event unfolds as a high-profile seaside party where Mindy, played by Ashley Park, performs Espresso live for the guests. The hotel is used explicitly as the venue for the campaign launch and performance.
About the hotel
La Posta Vecchia is a historic villa hotel just outside Rome, set directly on the Tyrrhenian coast. The property is known for its museum-level art collection, classical interiors, and discreet old-world luxury. It is part of the Pellicano Hotels group and attracts a clientele that values heritage over trend.
TheHotelTrotter says:
Book a sea-view room rather than a garden room; the coastline is the hotel’s defining asset and completely changes the experience.

Orient Express La Minerva, Rome
The scene
According to Netflix Tudum, Mindy stays at the Orient Express La Minerva after booking a gig on the dance competition show Ballando! Ballando! Ballando!, following her performance at the Bavazzatini launch at La Posta Vecchia. Alfie is also staying at La Minerva during his work trip to Rome, and this is where their brief “vacation fling” begins. Later, Sylvie gathers the Agence Grateau team at La Minerva’s rooftop restaurant to announce that she is closing the Rome office and that Emily needs to return to Paris.
About the hotel
Orient Express La Minerva is a newly revived luxury hotel located steps from the Pantheon. The property blends historic architecture with refined contemporary interiors following a major restoration. Its rooftop offers panoramic views across central Rome.
TheHotelTrotter says:
Even if you are not staying overnight, the rooftop is worth visiting for sunset views over the Pantheon district.
Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese
The scene
Several Rome scenes take place around Villa Borghese, using terraces and elevated viewpoints for conversations and social gatherings. At Settimo, the rooftop restaurant of the Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese, both of Luc’s girlfriends realise they are being two-timed and immediately leave him behind. The scene takes place on the hotel’s panoramic terrace on Via Lombardia, using the elevated setting as the backdrop for one of the season’s most socially charged moments.
About the hotel
Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese is a French-owned luxury hotel overlooking Rome’s largest park. Its interiors lean toward understated elegance, while the Settimo rooftop restaurant is one of its main draws. The location offers a quieter alternative to Rome’s busiest districts.
TheHotelTrotter says:
Request a table on the terrace at Settimo just before sunset for the best light over the city.

Venice
The St. Regis Venice
The scene
Venice appears later in Season 5 as the setting for fashion-focused events and high-profile gatherings. Scenes are filmed along the Grand Canal and in elegant interior spaces connected to these events, with The St. Regis Venice terrace serving as one of the featured luxury properties.
About the hotel
The St. Regis Venice occupies a prime position on the Grand Canal near Piazza San Marco. The hotel combines contemporary design with historic Venetian architecture and expansive waterfront terraces. It is one of the city’s most modern interpretations of luxury hospitality.
TheHotelTrotter says:
Choose a Grand Canal–facing room rather than a courtyard room for a true Venice experience.
