“This was an experience of a lifetime and a highlight of Italy.”

We, my sister and cousin, loved our time at Le Sirene. The stay in the little bay at this simple B&B is something I will hold dearly in my memories.

The rooms are clean and simple, albeit a little dated but that was almost part of the charm.

Le Sirene has a marvellous position and is what I would consider budget priced, compared in particular to it's famous neighbour, the San Pietro hotel ,which is Amalfi's most revered luxury hotel.

We ate most days at Adolpho's next door - which was theatre in itself.

We stayed in Amalfi first at Villa Lara which was nice and we also stayed in Tuscany at an excellent and VERY HIGHLY RATED on Trip Advisor B&B, however this for us was the number 1 experience.

If you happen to be from WA it reminded us of a sexy, sassy version of Rottnest Island.

Water taxis can take you to and from Positano most hours ( well at least in my experience) saying that once we were in Positano we often couldn't wait to come back to our little pearl!

If there was any comments to be made....Le SIrene's water taxi starts it's run in the morning too late (9.45am) for the first of only two hydrofoils out of Positano. But a water taxi an be organised for between 10-20 Euro to Positano and their service is after all free. Also there is a palpable tension between the Adolfo and Le Sirene that I think guests pick up on.

If you are happy to relax in simple surrounds and soak up the sun, sup on great food and bob around in the warm ocean...then Le Sirene could be just for you.

Thank you Sonia for your elegant hospitality and being so gracious about my red wine spill!

“Paradise on earth......”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2010

Le Sirene has everything you could wish for........Alfonso Massa from Naples Villas recommended this location to us. Our stay in paradise began with a little boat from Le Sirene hotel which picked us up from Positano and took us to the Spiaggia Laurito where the hotel Le Sirene is also located. We checked into a stunning room...fresh, bright colours with views of the sea from the bed and the room's balcony. Then were we given our own sun loungers and umbrella right by the sea. For a late lunch, we devoured a seafood platter from Le Sirene's restaurant - all fresh, locally caught fish, before rejoining our sun loungers on the beach. We swam until the sun started to go down. Unbeknown to us, Alfonso Massa (Naples Villas) had ordered a romantic table for dinner right on the beach! With waves lapping near our feet, we enjoyed the most delicious meal of seafood starters following by gnocchi and then scrumpscous puddings. This was all by candlelight in the most romantic place on earth.....paradise!

After a restful night's sleep, we enjoyed an abundant, wide ranging continental breakfast on Le Sirene's terrace. The rest of the day was spent on the little Laurito beach enjoying the turquoise sea and soaking up the sun from our loungers.

Le Sirene staff were friendly, the price was excellent and the service second to none. I cannot recommend this place enough and thank you to Alfonso Massa from Naples Villas for suggesting it. Le Sirene has it all - stunning views, a perfect beach, friendly staff, welcoming rooms, delicious food and most importantly tranquility. A perfect place in paradise!

“Rip off.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We spent a day on the water and ate in the restaurant as recommended by our "sailor." I wanted to eat next door at Da Alfonso which was packed but was assured that La Sirene was much better. Anyway now that I have read the reviews and having paid way too much, I know that we got ripped and I am sure the sailor got a nice commission. Yes the fish was fresh but the rest was mediocre and it was twice the price next door. Also, the portions were tiny and we got ripped on the wine as well. At least we have Trip Advisor to warn others....

“Magical on private beach - perfect in every way for a family with young children”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2010

We recently stayed at Le Serene and had the most magical holiday, sleeping to the sound of waves, spoilt by delicious food and warm hospitality of Sonia and Franco and their enchanting children.
The rooms are fantastically clean, cool with airconditioning and with wonderful views. The beach is perfect for children as it is not too big, lots of shady umbrellas and calm water. The mermaid boat that goes to and fro to Positano is a treat our children loved.
Being able to have long lunches and relaxed dinners either at Le Serene where Franco's food is excellent or next door at the famous Da Adolfo, meant that we did not need babysitters or to worry.
The staff are all happy to help with anything, did our washing, played with the children, prepared special food and at the end carried our suitcases up 421 steep steps to the carpark of San Pietro - nothing was any trouble. This created a really happy feel in the hotel.
We think we will return every year and wish Sonia and Franco every success - they certainly deserve it .

“Very friendly atmosphere in a gem that deserves improvement”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2010

Le Sirene is a very simple B&B, without any sophistication in the rooms or in the premises. But the lack of refinement is compensated by the nature surrounding it and the friendly atmosphere of the family who runs the place. I injured my foot and Sonia came with the homeopathic illment for it. She offered an umbrella for the rain and jacket for the windy trip back to Le Sirene in their boat. Whenever we needed information for our trip she or Franco were available to help. We enjoyed the kayaking (free for guests) in the waters of Positano, swimming in front of the hotel, and hiking in the hills of Le Sirene. The friendly staff could be more professional in terms of prompt services. The place needs some touch with natural flowers so peculiar of Positano. I am sure the place can be transformed in a real gem.
