The newly opened Franco’s Bar at Le Sirenuse, an iconic hotel in Positano, Italy.

As if Positano’s Le Sirenuse hotel weren’t already amazing enough, a chic alfresco bar has just opened steps from the hotel with expansive views of Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Current owner Antonio Sersale transformed what was a small parking lot into a stunning terrace where guests can enjoy classic cocktails in one of the world’s most beloved settings. Named after his late father, Franco Sersale, the bar features blue garden tables and chairs by Paolo Calcagni, Murano-glass tumblers by Venetian company Laguna B, and mirrors and tables decorated with graffiti-style poems by artist Karl Holmqvist. The centerpiece is a yellow fountain created by Roman artist Giuseppe Ducrot, who was inspired by those popular in the 17th century.

The bar offers stunning views of the Amalfi Coast.
