Positano, Italy

Villa Treville Positano

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose Villa Treville for a theatrical, sea-facing Positano retreat where separate villas, waterside lounging and a boat link shape the stay.

About the hotel

Villa Treville occupies four cliffside villas above Positano, with views across the Tyrrhenian Sea and gardens and tucked-away terraces around a former summer residence. Accommodations range from junior suites to four-bedroom suites, giving the property a villa-scale feel rather than the layout of a conventional resort. The sea is more than scenery: guests have access to a seafront sunbathing platform and a boat service to Positano, subject to weather conditions.

Choose it if

You want a cliffside stay where sea access and a boat link to Positano are part of the setting.
You prefer villa-scale accommodations, with suite options ranging up to four bedrooms.
You want a sea-facing restaurant terrace and menus that use produce grown on the property.

Skip it if

You want a conventional town-center base: Treville is set on Positano’s cliffs, with a boat service to town rather than a central location.

Guest discussion

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

One guest singles out breakfast and lunch served at their lounge chairs by the sea, where service buttons made ordering easy. They found dinner good but chose to head into Positano most nights, saying it was easy to do so.

Discussion is limited; these accounts offer a glimpse rather than a broad verdict.

“Breakfast is fabulous and we had tasty lunches on our lounge chairs by the sea (call for service buttons next to each one). Dinner is good, but we preferred heading into Positano most nights because it was so easy.”

Rooms and suites sit in the main house and cottages, with sea-view terraces, gardens, a private beach terrace reached by elevator, and a heated seawater pool shaping the stay.

Passalacqua

Moltrasio, Italy

Coastal24 roomsHistoric

Passalacqua occupies an 18th-century villa estate directly above Lake Como in Moltrasio, with 24 accommodations divided among the main Villa, the Palazz and the lakeside Casa al Lago. The restored property is intimate rather than sprawling, with seven acres of terraced gardens running down to a private jetty and a setting that stays tied to the old village just beyond the gates. It opened as a hotel in June 2022 after a three-year restoration by the De Santis family.
