Villa Treville

A favourite address for the international cultural and artistic elite since the 1920s, Villa Treville began as a passion project transformed into a charming residence by Franco Zeffirelli.This was done in collaboration with the celebrated architect and pioneer of opera mise-en-scéne Renzo Mongiardino, who immediately transformed it into the buen retiro of stars of the calibre of Maria Callas, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Liza Minnelli, Leonard Bernstein and Rudolf Nureyev. Meticulously preserved by the current owners and restored to include all modern comforts without distorting Zeffirelli's vision, today Villa Treville is a true icon of hospitality on the Amalfi Coast. The property is known the world over and welcomes guests to an estate of enchanting vintage charm where the legacy of the Maestro of Italian cinema still resounds, immersed in lush gardens that guarantee absolute privacy even though it is only a short distance from the lively centre of Positano. Strategically positioned on a rocky promontory sloping down to the coastline and private beach, the hotel comprises five villas characterised by an inimitable blend of theatricality, cosmopolitanism, authenticity and charm thanks to a meticulously curated aesthetic that explodes in bright colours and decorations celebrating local artisanal traditions. The culinary offering, led by Executive Chef Vincenzo Castaldo with the advice of Michelin-starred Chef Antonio Mellino, celebrates the richness of regional produce and includes dishes made with ingredients grown in Villa Treville's vegetable gardens. From the panoramic terrace of the fine-dining restaurant Maestro's, the legendary Salone Bianca where the mystically elegant and mesmerising Bianca Bar is located, and the new Botanical Bar. Just a short distance from the hotel's Trevill Laurito Beach , a true jet setter's retreat with eight Mediterranean-inspired rooms and offering guests dishes based on the catch of the day and gourmet pizzas. New for the 2022 season, the new Traviata Wellness&Spa offers facial and body treatments with exclusive Dr. Barbara Sturm brand beauty products.
