My success is their success and in some small way, theirs is my success as well.” No discussion of family here in Positano would be complete without the notable inclusion of the Sersale family, owners of La Sirenuse [+39 089 875066], the most important hotel in Positano. The Sersale family owned a summer home in Positano, an 18th century palazzo in the center of town, where they often spent private jetsummer vacations, but during the Second World War they retreated there private jetfull-time to escape the bombing of their native city, Napoli. In 1951, however, the family decided to turn their vacation home into a small elegant hotel. They started with eight rooms and a large terrace overlooking the Islands of the private jetSirens. Fifty years later the hotel has 62 rooms with all the comforts of a five star luxury hotel. But staying at La Sirenuse still has the feeling of being home. To this day, the Sersale family owns Le Sirenuse and family members work together to maintain its position as a world-class hotel. Four descendents of the original owner, private jetAntonio Sersale, were responsible for the initial opening of the hotel. For years, the eldest brother, Aldo, managed the hotel with the help of the mayor of Positano, Paolo Sersale, Aldo’s brother. Together these two brothers ran the hotel until Paolo’s death in 1991. Aldo, also ill at that time, stepped down, and their younger brother, Franco, stepped in. Franco began making the improvements today credited with the hotel’s current luxury status. His taste in furnishings, paintings and sculpture have a vehicle for expression as Franco liberally purchases antiques that offset beautifully the architecture of the hotel and bring pleasure to guests. His son, Antonio, now runs the hotel as Franco, at age 77, describes himself as “semi-retired.” “He’s retired, but he’s still our ‘center.’ We know that we can go to him about important decisions regarding the direction we want the hotel to take. We always get the kind of response that allows us to hold fast to our family roots, while at the same time creating a vision for our future that will keep up with the pace of our guests evolving needs and tastes.” As for our ‘semi-tired’ family, I’m back at the bar sipping a glass of Chianti this time and watching the kids play ball behind the “no-ball playing” sign with their new-found friends. We continued our trip with a visit to Amalfi, Capri, Pompeii and Napoli … but that’s a story for another article… Author’s Resource BoxDenise Hummel is a native of New York, who moved to Italy with her husband and children.
