Il San Pietro di Positano

A spectacular location with an elegant and homely hotel. Everything was amazing, the view, the food, the hospitable and friendly service. Impeccable service that strikes a wonderful balance between discretion and informality. The proximity to Positano is great, allowing the choice of enjoying vibrant lively streets of the town, while also being able to retreat to a peaceful haven of the hotel.

The finest hotel I have stayed in - the italian mix of engineering and art in the hotel itself which grips to the coast with views from everywhere. But most the way it is run with love and generosity by the family and the extended family of the staff. Corporate hotels can compete on tax (paying 2-3% vs 40% of a local family firm) and finance but not on the love and generosity which continues to glow from this hotel paradise like the sun on the sea.

Il San Pietro is my new favorite hotel in the world. Located a bit off the beaten path in Positano, it is a welcome tranquility away from the bustling crowds and shops. Free shuttles available into town any time of day. The staff is what makes this property truly stand out. Both Giovanni and Michelangelo are absolutely amazing and Andrea the general manager really takes an interest in your stay, making sure everything is wonderful. I've traveled quite a bit in my life and this hotel is everything and more. Gorgeous views, wonderful staff, luxury without being pretentious - a true home away from home. I am counting down the days until I can go back!!!

Unique experience, it seems like paradise Wonderful premises : beach, pool, tennis court All locations overlooking the sea All the staff is caring for you to have the best possible experience Great service the shuttle to Positano back and forward anytime Ask the concierge for nice restaurants nearby but also in Naples

This hotel truly deserves higher than a 5-star rating! My husband and I stayed here for 2 days in Early April and we beyond amazed by the entire experience. Not only does this hotel have a beautiful property, the staff are the best in the industry. We have stayed at a lot of different hotels but this one tops them all. The staff were super friendly and helpful, always open to answer any questions we may have had even prior to our visit. The room was elegant, immaculate, well-stocked with a comfortable bed and a breathtaking sea view. I cannot think of a single complaint. Simply impeccable experience. Thank you all, the service was unmatched. We highly recommend Il San Pietro di Positano to anyone looking for a luxurious home away from home!

It’s difficult to do justice to the San Pietro in a review. The property is totally beautiful and the rooms and facilities are very luxurious. The extra touches such as the complimentary boat trip for guests are great. But it is the service, and the warmth of the staff, that sets it apart from other leading hotels around the world. I celebrated a special birthday there last week and the team at the hotel went above and beyond to ensure it was my loveliest birthday yet. It was a truly perfect experience. Thank you to Andrea and all of the team. It was a privilege to visit.

The serenity of San Pietro is unmatched; you feel it the minute you step out of the car and onto the property. The view, the landscaping, and the air! Even our bathroom window looked out over the sea. Drinks on the terrace are sublime and hushed (also, stunning snacks!). I highly recommend meals at the less-formal beach restaurant and the boat trip around Li Galli. The service—with a staff that's been at the hotel for decades—is unmatched in kindness and starts at the top, with the unimaginably thoughtful and dapper general manager, Andrea. Even the outdoor gym under lemon trees makes working out feel sybaritic. I've stayed at numerous hotels on the Amalfi Coast and this is truly the finest.

This is what I would like to say is unsuspecting elegance. The arrival can be somewhat misleading but in such a good way because what’s to come will blow your mind. Receiving Staff – I arrived on the top platform right of the narrow road of the Amalfi Coast. The staff was ready to receive me take my luggage and lead me to this dazzling garden that descended to the elevator lobby. It took me a moment to catch my breath as the views were more than you could imagine. Online pics don’t do it justice. You must see this for yourself. Again, the check-in process was seamless as I was able to wait on the amazing terrace with a crafted cocktail as the staff completed my check-in with my passport. Room Configuration – WOW! My room #24 was part of the original villa and the balcony faced Positano. The décor as you made your way to the room showed when the villa was originally constructed. Once the door opened, the old world meets modern today Italy. The deep blue, white and gold were darling. The bedding was flawless, and the powder room had all the amenities you would find at a high-end resort. From toothbrushes, shaving cream, and other body creams. I personally like separate vanities. Turndown Service - Bedding reconfigured and water on the side no slippers or towel on the floor. Breakfast – The food was amazing. I did come to breakfast a little late. I didn’t find as large of a selection as some of the other properties I visited but I think the view made up for it. The staff was ok. I did have a waiter that I felt may have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Hotel Location – Cliffside on the Amalfi Coast. It gets no better than that. Located close to Positano, you could be there within 3-5 minutes depending on the traffic. This hotel is on my top 5 hotels and I've travel all over the world vetting lxury properties. This will always be my first selection for Positano. Thank to everyone at this property.
