Villa Treville

What the classifiers highlight

Once Franco Zeffirelli's summer house, and MICHELIN says it is less a hotel than Positano's most storied stage set: his art, his curios, even fragments of opera scenery, spread over four villas that fall towards the sea. Sixteen suites keep the feel of a private house, the gardens hold secret terraces and pools where Callas and Bernstein used to get away from the crowds below, and the shuttle boat reaches Positano in under ten minutes.
