Children under the age of 8 years old are not allowed in the hotel during the high season. For 2009, high season dates are May 1st to October 18th.
Seldom has there been a name more poetic or appropriate. Rising out in the dreamy, sun drenched seaside town of Positano, covered with climbing grape trellises, the appellation for this eighteenth century summer house is simply Italian for “the sirens.”
Despite its location, Le Sirenuse is quiet, isolated from the local traffic and apparently from most tourists. Nonetheless, we love the fact that it is part of Positano, a town that is constructed like an amphitheater — houses literally cut into the cliff, each one with an unobstructed view over the next one, and stairs instead of streets. The narrow, heated lap-pool gazes out on this strange, pastel place and then further out to the sea. Small as the pool is, you could linger in the water, watching, until your skin shrivels.
Le Sirenuse is remarkably un-hotel like. For two hundred and fifty years it was the summer house of the noble Neapolitan family Marchese Sersale, who still run the hotel. Inside, it is simple and lovely, with an authenticity so unpretentious it is almost careless. This is not your typical historic hotel. The floors are glazed tile, the windows are delicately scalloped, and the pale-hued bedrooms have plain white beds and antiques that have been lovingly compiled since the family first moved here. The bar is small and, just as in the restaurant, vines of grape and bougainvillea have crept up its walls.
Le Sirenuse, by the way, is generally acknowledged to have the best seafood restaurant in town. It's a pleasure even without the food with its emerald tiled floor, terracotta vases and plenty of sunlight painting the bleached, domed ceiling. But the menu, which includes dishes like spaghetti alla vongole, is like the rest of the hotel — unfussy and ethereal.
Get a room with a balcony, and if possible, a bath that faces the sea. The Mediterranean takes on a mythical shade of blue here. John Steinbeck, one of the hotel's first guests in 1953, wrote “Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.”
How to get there:
Car service to Le Sirenuse is available from Naples-Capodichino International Airport or from the Naples central train station. The trip from Naples takes one hour. Please contact customerservice@tablethotels.com to arrange a transfer.

Overall rating: Excellent
rpower500515 has 1 recommendation for Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy on Tablet Guides
I Liked
Fantastic location, beautiful views, good service and excellent breakfast. We dined in the restaurant one evening, which was fantastic.
We booked a room without a sea view, but still had a little balcony and didnt find not having a view from our bedroom a hardship given the fantastic location of the pool and terrace.
This hotel is expensive, but if you are only visiting the Amalfi coast for a few days and really want to stay in Positano then I would say it is well worth it.
What the hotel could do better
The gym was poorly air-conditioned, which made using it a bit miserable. Drinks prices throughout the hotel were very expensive. Given the cost of the rooms I would have thought it reasonable for at least the soft drinks and water in our rooms to be free. The mini car in our room did not work, which we complained about once but did not get fixed. They did however leave a bucket of ice in our room each night, which chilled drinks and bottles of proseco nicely!

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.
The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
