S2E9 - Continuing a Family Hotel and Legacy with Antonio Sersale of Le Sirenuse
Listen now
Description
Le Sirenuse started out as a holiday home for the Sersale family, and over the last few decades has gradually been converted into a hotel, which is now run and operated by Antonio Sersale, who took over for his father Franco in 1992. His aim is to sustain and renew the proud traditions and attention to detail that, since the conversion of the Sersales’ family home into a hotel in 1951, have made Le Sirenuse one of the world’s most characterful luxury properties in the world. In this conversation, we chat with Antonio on Amalfi traditions, the history of Positano, and the balancing act of continuing a family hotel and its legacy.
