Il San Pietro di Positano

Amazing resort, amazing location super friendly staff.
Highly recommended

Stunning location just outside Positano. My bedroom was lovely with a balcony and coast/sea view. The common areas were wonderful too - the large room incorporating reception and concierge had lots of seating areas and felt really relaxed. So much to see and photograph inside and on the grounds but the jewel is the famous terrace with majolica benches overlooking Positano - I spent hours admiring the terrace and the view. The elevator to the beach meant I could eat at the beachside restaurant and view the tennis court in its unique setting without tackling hundreds of steps. Loved the cute 'bits and bites' van on the terrace. Service throughout was wonderful, whether housekeeping, concierge, reception, boutique, catering or waitstaff. Smooth transfer to/from airport and additional trips were arranged for me. There is also a free shuttle 24/7 to the edge of Positano. Generous free provision of minibar drinks/snacks in room and delicious inclusive breakfast with a huge buffet choice and hot food cooked to order. Staff rushed to open doors for me (I am on crutches) and escort me up steps, and boutique searched stockroom to find perfect souvenirs for me. This was meant to be a 'one and done' trip but I really hope I can return - would go in late April next time to see the grounds in fuller bloom but everything was already beautiful early April.

Magical in every sense , pure heaven for those that appreciate quality service, food, pampering and stunning views.

It doesn’t get any better.

Room 14 for incredible views of Positano.

The staff and property are the best we’ve experienced and should be commended in every way and we appreciate how well we were taken care of.
The concierge and reservations team took care of everything perfectly from the moment we made the booking (even allowing us to shift the days due to our circumstances without any issue) we were also upgraded to a larger room which was a nice surprise. The room and fixtures and amenities are superbly maintained and the bath and shower are modern. The bed is extremely comfortable.
The views from all areas of the hotel are stunning and the location being outside the main part of town allows for a quiet relaxing experience.
All the services from restaurant bookings including transport and recommendations, where to shop in town were given clearly.
The best managed property we have experienced everything was immaculate.
But most importantly the staff at all levels were superb. Very friendly efficient and took care of everything with an Italian smile and warmth.
We had a cooking class that was great and got to experience local cooking.
We used the complimentary shuttle to and from town that was a bonus and the complimentary boat service as well.
We had dinner at Zass which was wonderful. Overall if anyone wishes ultra luxury yet friendly and quality service this is the most recommended hotel you could stay at in the area and that blows the competition away.

I spent a truly perfect weekend at Il San Pietro di Positano.
Everything was exceptional — the warm and attentive welcome, the breathtaking views, the beauty of the setting, and the outstanding quality of both the service and the cuisine.
Every detail is carefully thought out, reflecting a rare sense of hospitality and refinement. You feel both privileged and completely at home.
A heartfelt thank-you to the entire team for this unforgettable stay. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Staying at Il San Pietro di Positano was truly one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for — every interaction was warm, thoughtful, and genuine.

Our room had absolutely stunning views from the balcony — the kind of view you can’t stop staring at, no matter the time of day. We enjoyed so many of the complimentary activities the hotel offers, including a cooking class that was such a fun and memorable experience. We also loved spending time by the pool, sipping Hugo spritzes, and simply taking in the peaceful beauty of the property.

Dinner at their Michelin-starred restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip — honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The setting, the service, and the food were all perfection. Walking through their gardens and seeing the fresh ingredients they grow and cook with made it feel even more special and meaningful.

Every corner of the property feels cared for and truly magical. It is luxurious in the most relaxed, authentic way. We left already talking about when we can come back — because we absolutely will.

This is the most amazing stay I’ve ever had.

Andrea, Agostino and their staff are first class in every way. Any need was IMMEDIATELY met

Zass Restaurant is well deserving of its Michelin star

Don’t miss the pizza making class

Breakfast is extra special

Buffett breakfast. Great choices. Special orders were fast

From the literal millisecond we exited the car service and stepped onto the property to the moment we (very sadly!) drove away, this was by far the most glorious, magnificent, elegant, refined, warm stay of our combined age of 96 years. Pitch perfect in every single way.

From the moment we arrived, this hotel felt like paradise. Every aspect exceeded expectations—the service, the food, the atmosphere—everything was meticulous and executed with the highest level of care. The staff anticipates every need with such attention to detail that it creates a seamless, unforgettable experience.

The culinary offerings are extraordinary, each meal better than the last, truly deserving of the Michelin recognition. The level of precision, hospitality, and passion here makes this not just a hotel stay, but an experience of a lifetime.

I’ve stayed at many luxury hotels around the world, but this is without question the number one hotel I have ever stayed at. Perfection in every sense.

Arriving at Il San Pietro by our private boat was an experience in itself — gliding up to the beach club, stepping onto the dock, and ascending by elevator to the lobby felt cinematic. It was one of those rare travel moments that takes your breath away and stays with you forever. We were greeted with such warmth and grace, It’s rare to find a place where elegance and heart intertwine so seamlessly, and Il San Pietro truly embodies that spirit.
The rooms were simply stunning — each view and every detail more beautiful than the last. Photos can only attempt to capture the magic; in person, it’s pure poetry in motion.
Dining at Zass and Carlino was a masterclass in warm, elegant hospitality. Every member of the team embodies professionalism and grace, perfectly paired with unforgettable cuisine, wine and views that awaken every sense.
One of our favorite memories was the boat ride to Amalfi suggested by the Concierge on the perfect weather day — an absolute core memory. While it was a challenge to even leave the hotel, the hotel’s boat transfers to and from Positano made each outing feel wrapped in the true Italian spirit — effortless, joyful, and deeply romantic.
We even extended our stay, unable to part with the beauty and warmth of this incredible place. When we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave, Lorenzo’s graciousness in extending our stay captured the very essence of Il San Pietro’s soul — hospitality elevated to an art form, gestures that perfectly embodied the spirit of Il San Pietro. The spirit continued with Andrea and team extended such thoughtful courtesies for our celebration with hand picked flowers from the hotels garden that made everything feel even more personal and unforgettable.
Il San Pietro isn’t just a hotel — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience with extraordinary hospitality. Once you visit, you are forever changed... and you must return to the magic again and again.
