An invitation from Villa Fiorentino Positano
In a world that increasingly values sustainability, the beauty of travel is being rediscovered through a greener lens. The Amalfi Coast — a jewel of the Mediterranean — offers not only breathtaking views and timeless culture, but also a growing number of sustainable travel opportunities. At Villa Fiorentino Positano, we believe that true luxury lies in experiences that honor the land, the people, and the future.
Nestled into the cascading cliffs of Positano, our villa has long been a sanctuary for discerning travelers seeking elegance, serenity, and authenticity. Today, we embrace a new responsibility: guiding our guests toward a more conscious and environmentally respectful way of exploring this coastal paradise.
Rediscovering the Amalfi Coast, Sustainably
From lemon groves to hidden beaches, from ancient trails to centuries-old villages, the Amalfi Coast is best experienced slowly — and sustainably. Whether on foot, by electric scooter, or by traditional boat, every journey becomes more meaningful when it leaves a lighter footprint.
Walking the Path of the Gods
One of the most iconic and sustainable ways to explore the region is by walking the Sentiero degli Dei — the Path of the Gods. This legendary trail connects Agerola to Nocelle and offers panoramic views over the coast, Capri, and the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea. It’s a peaceful, car-free immersion in nature and history.
At Villa Fiorentino, we offer detailed hiking maps, eco-conscious walking gear, and guided tours led by locals who share stories of the terrain and its cultural significance.
“The view from the Path of the Gods is breathtaking, but walking it with respect and awareness adds a whole new dimension.”

Exploring by Sea: Traditional Boats and Eco-Friendly Sails
The allure of the Amalfi Coast wouldn’t be complete without the sea. We encourage guests to opt for eco-friendly boat excursions, such as traditional gozzi powered by electric motors or sailboats that glide silently along the coastline.
From Positano to Amalfi, Ravello, and the Li Galli Islands, the sea becomes a stage for a slower, more sustainable journey. These trips often include snorkeling in protected marine areas and visits to local fishing communities who share their environmentally conscious way of life.
Local Flavors, Seasonal Plates
Sustainability also means savoring the authentic, seasonal cuisine of the region. Our breakfast terrace, overlooking the sea, is a celebration of organic local produce, many sourced from farms within a few kilometers. Lemons from our own garden, handmade ricotta, fresh figs, and wholegrain pastries made by local artisans — all served with ceramic cups, never plastic.
For dinner, we recommend restaurants that share our philosophy: menus based on the day’s catch, zero-kilometer wines, and partnerships with local farmers. A few of our trusted favorites include:
- La Tagliata in Montepertuso — a farm-to-table dining experience with views and warmth
- Casa e Bottega in Positano — organic, health-conscious cuisine with a Mediterranean twist
- Ristorante Il Ritrovo in Montepertuso — sustainable sourcing with family charm
Villa Fiorentino: A Green Luxury Oasis
Our commitment to sustainability extends far beyond suggestions — it’s at the heart of what we do. At Villa Fiorentino Positano, we are continually evolving to ensure our operations respect the environment while maintaining the highest standard of luxury hospitality.
Eco-Friendly Design and Architecture
Our villa was originally built into the natural rock of Positano, in harmony with the landscape. Renovations and updates have used sustainable materials, energy-saving fixtures, and water-reduction systems — all designed to preserve beauty without excess.
- Solar panels provide hot water for pools and rooms
- Natural insulation and strategic architecture reduce air conditioning needs
- Filtered water stations eliminate plastic bottles entirely
Each suite — including our beloved Infinity Suite and Honeymoon Suite — offers breathtaking views and elegant décor with an environmentally conscious core.
Digital Innovation for Sustainability
We’ve transitioned much of our guest services to digital platforms: check-ins, local guides, itinerary planning, and even room controls can be managed through your smartphone or our in-suite tablet systems. This not only adds convenience but significantly reduces paper and waste.
Green Partnerships and Community Impact
We proudly collaborate with local environmental organizations and sustainability networks on the Amalfi Coast. By partnering with tour operators, artisans, and producers who share our values, we amplify a message: that luxury and sustainability can — and should — go hand in hand.
“Villa Fiorentino showed us that comfort, beauty, and eco-consciousness can coexist without compromise.”
