Villa Treville is the former summer estate of the director Franco Zeffirelli, spread across four villas on the cliffs at Positano, and its guests once included Maria Callas, Leonard Bernstein and Rudolf Nureyev. It now works as a small suites-only hotel, and MICHELIN describes it as closer to a private residence than a conventional hotel, with terraced gardens, hidden paths and operatic memorabilia. It suits travellers who want privacy, a sense of history and Positano a short boat ride away.
Editorial assessmentVilla Treville is Sikovia's most intimate Amalfi stay, a suites-only estate with a residential feel. Il San Pietro offers similar seclusion on a larger scale, Le Sirenuse puts you in the village, Santa Caterina suits Amalfi town and Borgo Santandrea a modern beach setting. Choose it for privacy and history.
