Almost too picturesque to be real, every corner of Le Sirenuse in Positano appears to echo the captivating crevices and hues of the Amalfi Coast – away from the hoards of tourists and influencers.
"I blame Instagram for keeping this legendary fairytale villa at the top of my wish list. Almost too picturesque to be real, every corner of Le Sirenuse in Positano appears to echo the captivating crevices and hues of the Amalfi Coast – away from the hoards of tourists and influencers. Boasting the best views of the famously colourful tumble of cliffside villas overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, the property belongs to the aristocratic Sersale family, who opened the house to guests in 1951. I would start my day enjoying a cappuccino and cornetto on the balcony (presumably in crockery so stunning I'd be tempted to slip it into my suitcase), before going for a dip in their iconic pool. Taking their "living vertically" approach very seriously, I would then amble down to the town for some shopping and sightseeing before enjoying a plate of truffle ravioli on their magical dinner terrace."
