The hotel opened in 1951 with eight rooms in the Sersale family villa and has since grown into neighboring houses to 58 rooms. It looks across Positano's stacked houses to the sea. The rooms are full of antiques and tiles, the pool terrace is the social center of the hotel, and there is a spa, a gym and contemporary art commissioned for the house.
Dinner at La Sponda is a highlight, and Aldo's and Franco's Bar are good for an evening drink. Days are for boats to Capri, the coast road to Amalfi and Ravello, or the family's new beach club, Le Sirenuse Mare in Nerano, which launched in 2026. Three or four nights here pairs well with Rome or Puglia.
Le Sirenuse suits couples, honeymooners and anyone who wants to be in Positano itself. It is expensive and books out far ahead for summer. The hotel runs on a season from roughly April to October, and Positano is steep, crowded in high summer and full of steps, so it is not ideal for anyone with limited mobility.
Le Sirenuse is the Sersale family's hotel in the heart of Positano, opened in 1951 in their own villa and still run by the same family. It has wonderful views over the town and the sea and the warmth of a family house, which is why we would choose it over anywhere else on the Amalfi Coast.
