LE SIRENUSE
History & Story
Le Sirenuse opened in 1951, when four Neapolitan siblings, the Marchesi Aldo, Paolo, Anna and Franco Sersale turned their summer house in Positano into a charming hotel, overlooking the bay of Positano. Today 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.
Date Renewal
Le Sirenuse is a seasonal property, closed from the end of October to the end of March. The hotel is completely refurbished each year in our off season.
Date added extensions
In July 2015 a new alfresco bar was added to the hotel, Franco’s Bar. A fitting tribute to its namesake with views overlooking the majestic Mediterranean waters and an impressive fountain sculpture made by the celebrated Roman artisit Giuseppe Ducrot.
