Le Sirenuse opened in 1951, when the Sersale family decided to turn their Amalfi Coast summer house in the ‘vertical town’ of Positano on Italy’s Amalfi Coast into a stylish small hotel. The 58-
room resort is considered one of Italy’s leading seaside luxury hotels, though it still retains the intimate, cultured atmosphere of a private home. Facilities include the panoramic La Sponda restaurant with its seasonal Mediterranean menu, elegantly casual al fresco bar-bistrot Aldo’s, and a spa and gym designed by architect Gae Aulenti.
