To each his own... but for us it was one of the best holidays we had. It was just like staying at a rich Italian friends house and not a hotel. Service was excellent. And the entire staff made us feel very special. Thank you very much! Special mention to the restaurant which dished out the most amazing Creme Brulee... more

Myself and my partner rented a house outside Positano for a week and decided to treat ourselves to a dinner in Hotel il San Pietro. A beautiful hotel with stunning views of the sea and coast. We arrived early and had a drink on the pretty terrace, a beautiful evening and we were looking forward to a great dinner. One... more

This hotel is quite remarkable in its landscape design. Spectacular site, clinging on the rocks jetting out to sea in a very quiet, nearly isolated area outside of Positano proper. The terrace bar will take your breath away. However, the food in the disappointingly bland indoor dining room is--like the indoor dining room--bland and exhorbitantly priced. We had lunch for... more

The Hotel Il San Pietro(HSP) is beyond fabulous. We just completed our fifth trip there in 20 years, and loved every single moment of it. I hesitate to extol the virtues of the HSP because then the secret is out! But then, I think it is out already. The hotel itself has many amenities that the Sirenuse (with which it... more

Okay, you probably could find a place that was newer, perhaps fancier. There are probably places with staff that are better, but for an overall experience the San Pietro is very, very hard to beat. It was simply one of the most remarkable hotels we have ever stayed at, and will stay with me for a long, long time. The... more

This was our second stay at this incredible resort. Two years ago we stayed here and were blown away. This year, when planning my daughter's high school graduation trip (which would include her and her 14yo sister), my husband, who doesn't look for ways to spend money, particularly in this dollar-unfriendly climate, insisted on returning here to show them easily... more

My husband and I recently spent a few weeks in Europe for our summer vacation. We spent two weeks in Italy and were not overwhelmed with any of the hotels we stayed in until we arrived at the Il San Pietro in Positano. If nothing else, the service and views make the hotel. We really liked being away from the... more

My wife and I travel frequently and we are picky about hotels. So there is no hyperbole when I say that we have never experienced a better hotel on a better site than Il San Pietro on the Amalfi coast. The hotel, which is built into a mountain with rooms overlooking the Mediterranean, is stunning. The rooms are different and... more
