Il San Pietro

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Il San Pietro di Positano exceeded every expectation we had. The location is absolutely breathtaking, with spectacular views of the Amalfi Coast from every corner of the property. The hotel itself is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and offers a level of luxury that feels elegant rather than overdone. What truly makes this hotel exceptional is its people. Every member of the staff was warm, gracious, and genuinely committed to making our stay unforgettable. The service was among the best we’ve experienced anywhere in the world. The dining was outstanding, the private beach club is incredible, and every detail reflects a commitment to excellence. Despite being one of the world’s great luxury hotels, Il San Pietro still feels intimate and welcoming. We’ve been fortunate to stay at many outstanding hotels over the years, and Il San Pietro now sits at the very top of our list. It isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience we’ll remember for a lifetime. Thank you to the entire team. We can’t wait to return!

The most breathtaking hotel in the world Having stayed at Il San Pietro for many years, it remains an absolute favorite of mine and quite simply one of the most incredible hotels I have ever visited. Nestled into the cliffs of Positano, the arrival sets the tone for the entire experience: arriving at the bottom by boat straight from Capri, then ascending right up through the heart of the cliff via their iconic elevator into paradise. Every single detail of this family-run hotel is executed to perfection. The family and their team do an extraordinary job, remaining consistently hospitable, genuinely kind, and wonderfully welcoming year after year. The amenities are second to none. They feature a massive organic garden where they grow all of their own vegetables, which are then used in the incredible hotel meals. There is a fantastic tennis court, and down at the bottom of the cliff sits the most breathtaking sun lounge area I have ever seen in my life—the perfect spot to watch the yachts go by or arrange to take one of the hotel's boats out on the water. If you are looking for luxury, charm, and unmatched Italian hospitality, Il San Pietro is truly peerless. An unforgettable experience from start to finish!

I think this must be the loveliest hotel in the world. The people who work here provide the warmest hospitality you can imagine. Many of the guests are from New York and have been coming back for years. We have met nice people both times we were lucky enough to stay. The view from the terrace and the rooms is unparalleled. It truly feels magical. And the beach club is incredible as well. I hesitate to submit this review because it is already difficult to find availability in the summer for il San pietro and I desperately want to come back!! But they deserve all of the praise I could give. Thank you, il San pietro for another wonderful stay!!
