Le Sirenuse vs. Treville Positano

By Jade

When visiting Positano, the choice of where to stay can define your experience of this iconic Italian coastal town. During my recent trip, I had the pleasure of staying at two of Positano’s finest luxury hotels: Le Sirenuse and Treville Positano. Both hotels offer an unforgettable slice of the Amalfi Coast, but each has its own distinct atmosphere and allure. Here’s a comparison of these two dreamy escapes.

The distance between Treville Positano and Le Sirenuse is approximately 1.5 miles. Since Treville is located slightly outside the main town and Le Sirenuse is in the heart of Positano, the journey between them is short, whether by car or a quick boat ride along the coast.

Le Sirenuse: Glamorous Cliffside Charm

Le Sirenuse is synonymous with Positano itself, embodying the elegant, timeless charm that draws visitors to the Amalfi Coast. Located in the heart of town, just steps away from Spiaggia Grande, Le Sirenuse offers a luxurious, cosmopolitan experience.

Key Highlights:

- Location & Views: Le Sirenuse is perfectly situated in central Positano, allowing guests to easily walk to the town’s shops, restaurants, and beaches. Every room has a sweeping view of the sea and the iconic cluster of colorful houses that line the cliffs. The sunset views from the hotel’s famed terrace are truly spectacular.

- Sophisticated Design: With its whitewashed walls, vibrant ceramic tiles, and antique furnishings, Le Sirenuse exudes Mediterranean elegance. The décor is effortlessly chic, with a refined Italian flair that feels both upscale and intimate.

- Dining & Social Scene: The hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, La Sponda, is a highlight, offering exquisite seafood and Italian cuisine served by candlelight. Le Sirenuse also has a vibrant atmosphere, with its cocktail bar attracting stylish guests from around the world for aperitifs before dinner. It's the place to see and be seen in Positano.

- Facilities & Amenities: From its famous pool overlooking the coast to a soothing spa, Le Sirenuse has everything for a pampered stay. The hotel organizes boat excursions and day trips, perfect for exploring the surrounding Amalfi Coast or Capri.

Who It’s For: 

Le Sirenuse is ideal for those who want to be in the heart of Positano, surrounded by glamour, fine dining, and the energy of a luxurious, social atmosphere. It’s perfect for couples seeking a romantic escape, but also for solo travelers who enjoy being in the center of the action.

Treville Positano: A Private Cliffside Retreat

For those craving more privacy and a tranquil atmosphere, Treville Positano is a secluded, exclusive retreat set just outside of the town. Previously the private villa of Italian film director Franco Zeffirelli, Treville has been transformed into a luxurious estate that feels like a hidden oasis.

Key Highlights:

- Location & Seclusion: Treville Positano is perched high on the cliffs, away from the hustle and bustle of the town. This location provides guests with an extraordinary sense of privacy, where the sounds of the sea and nature are your companions. While you’re only a short boat ride or car journey from central Positano, the hotel feels worlds apart, offering peaceful relaxation.

- Private Villa Vibe: Treville maintains its villa ambiance, with lush terraced gardens, spacious suites, and an eclectic mix of art and design elements from Zeffirelli’s time. Each room is individually styled, with unique layouts and private terraces offering views of the Mediterranean.

- Dining & Exclusivity: The on-site restaurant offers farm-to-table Italian cuisine, with many ingredients sourced from the hotel’s gardens. Dining here is a more intimate affair compared to Le Sirenuse, with personalized service and fewer guests around. You can also enjoy meals in your private suite or on your terrace for an extra touch of exclusivity.

- Facilities & Activities: The hotel has its own private beach, which can be accessed by an elevator cut into the rock, and offers a sense of exclusivity that’s rare on the Amalfi Coast. Guests can enjoy boat trips organized by the hotel, explore hidden coves, or simply relax by the sea without the crowds.

Who It’s For: 

Treville Positano is perfect for travelers looking for privacy and tranquility. It feels like staying in a luxurious, secret hideaway with all the conveniences of a high-end hotel. This property is ideal for honeymooners, couples, and those seeking a more personalized, serene escape while still being close to the town.

Which One is Right for You?

- Le Sirenuse is the quintessential choice for those who want to be at the center of Positano’s lively and glamorous social scene. With its iconic views, Michelin-star dining, and luxury amenities, it’s the perfect place for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the heart of Positano.

- Treville Positano, on the other hand, is all about exclusivity and peace. It’s the place to go if you value privacy and a more personalized, retreat-like experience. The villa atmosphere, combined with stunning private spaces, makes Treville a sanctuary for relaxation.

No matter which you choose, both hotels deliver Positano’s magic in their own distinct way. Whether you’re drawn to the charm and sophistication of Le Sirenuse or the peaceful luxury of Treville, your stay on the Amalfi Coast will be nothing short of extraordinary.
