Il San Pietro di Positano

Oct 25 This is a premier hotel, always on every ‘World’s Best’ list. Year after year, it doesn’t disappoint. In fact it gets better. The property is the best in Positano. It sits just outside and delivers a premium view of Positano with its own beach club, spa, tennis court (sitting next to the ocean!) Italian lessons, live music, and daily excursions on their personal yacht which is stupendous. This year they have opened their in house store which exceeds expectations. Everything you need and want, with intricate personal details throughout. May have bought one of everything! This family run, generation after generation, honestly couldn’t be better. The team here are so well acquainted with their guests and one another, they become instant family. We have been coming since 2017, traveled the world and stayed at luxurious properties, but end up always comparing them to the level of service and beauty found at ISP. If you are planning on traveling to the majestic and grandeur of the Amalfi coast, you do have options of lovely places to stay, however, none will even come close to Il San Pietro. The location cannot be surpassed but the service and loveliness of the family here is unmatched. Truly untouchable.

We just finished our fourth visit to the Hotel Il San Pietro, and we find that it gets better and better with every visit. For us, we love the easy connections you can make with the staff team. Everyone is so nice and welcoming, and always available to answer a question, provide some advice on what to do/see, and just about anything else you need. We love Pasquale at the pool - I can't imagine being at the San Pietro and not spending time with Pasquale. We had lunch at Carlino's and two dinners at Zass. Each was delicious and we had a wonderful time talking with the staff about the meal and Positano. I am hesitant to call out anyone by name because the whole staff is wonderful - and, yet, I must say thank you to Mr. Andrea, Roberto, Alfredo and Giuliano for always making our time at the San Pietro feel so magical. We look forward to seeing you again next summer. Of course, we must mention the hotel itself and the beauty of the location. It's simply off the charts. We often spend time just staring into space - taking in the water, the mountains, Positano and the hotel itself. The goal each year is to enjoy the hotel and all it has to offer and to also burn in those memories of how special the location is to us and many others. The Il San Pietro never disappoints.

This destination property is the ultimate definition of Peace On Earth with Excellence. While no further description is required everything at this best of class resort property is done with excellence. The quality of hospitality, unique rooms, location, condition, staff, food, terrace bar, views, tranquility and peace on earth are all excellent. Congratulations to the entire family and team at Il San Pietro, we will see you again next year!

It is rare when a hotel continuously takes your breath away, but the Hotel Il San Pietro Di Positano is such a place. We were a group of four friends who travelled to this outstanding hotel to celebrate one of our group's special birthday. From the moment you arrive to every step you take around the hotel (even while working out in the fitness centre!) you are treated to picture postcard perfect views of Positano and the surrounding area. The hotel is effortlessly elegant - from the individually designed bedrooms, with their unparalleled views, to the beautiful beach club, the tennis court, as well as the fabulous bars and restaurants dotted around the property. The bedrooms are very well equipped (I have to mentioned that they have a clothes steamer and a Dyson hairdryer!) and all the amenities you require. Soft drinks are complimentary in the mini bar. What makes the Hotel Il San Pietro stand out is the level of service from the amazing team of staff there. Before our stay I was in email contact with the fantastic reservations team led by Lorenzo who went the extra mile to make this trip more memorable and special for my friend whose birthday it was (and for the rest of the group!). We were greeted on arrival by the wonderful General Manager Andrea, who I don't think gets much sleep as he was so often in reception chatting to guests! I've stayed at several luxury hotels around the world and it was refreshing to see the GM so much (and I also noticed walking to breakfast that the door to Andrea's office was always open which was lovely to see and very welcoming). Alfredo, the Head Concierge, and his team were always on hand to help and give expert advice, especially when we had to change our plans to go to Capri last minute due to an incoming storm. There is so much to do at the hotel we could not fit it all in, but everything we did was great fun and expertly managed. We did the complimentary (daily) two hour boat trip on the hotel's boat, the cocktail making class (thank you Salvatore!) and had a lesson with the tennis pro Francesco on the sensational tennis court. We ate at Zass, Carlino and Bits & Bites - all are excellent. If you go to the beach club please try to take the steps down on occasion to see the gardens and view - it's really beautiful (there is a lift down too). Breakfast was everything you would expect from a hotel of this quality and utterly delicious. Three nights was not enough! We very much hope to return to this special place.

This is an exquisite property located in a beautiful part of the world. I have been staying here since 2002 but the visits became annual about 2012 or so. There is nothing I can say except that everything you want in a property in terms of service, quality of rooms, quality of restaurants, quality of the main buildings, quality of the beach experience is here. Every thing is excellent in every way. I have been to a lot of properties literally around the world and many were Relais properties. This is the best of the best.
