Il San Pietro di Positano

Our stay at Il San Pietro di Positano was nothing short of extraordinary. While the property itself is stunning—with panoramic views, elegant design, and world-class amenities, it’s the exceptional, personalized service that truly sets this hotel apart. From the moment we arrived, even though it was very late in the evening, we were made to feel not just like valued guests, but like part of the Il San Pietro family. One of the most memorable touches was being personally welcomed by the General Manager Andrea Zana the next morning, whose warmth, kind small gestures like little gifts in the room and attention to detail set the tone for the rest of our stay. He seemed to be present and genuinely invested in each guest’s experience, and that personal connection is part of the magic in Il San Pietro. Throughout our stay, every member of the staff—from housekeeping to the front desk, and the incredible team at the breakfast restaurant—delivered service that was not only flawless but deeply personal. They remembered our names, our preferences, and greeted us back every evening asking about our day and making us feel like we were returning home. The hotel also provides very convenient complimentary boat and minivan shuttle services to Positano town for its guests. We’ve had the privilege of staying in many luxury hotels, but Il San Pietro redefines hospitality. It’s not just a beautiful hotel. It's a place where you feel truly welcomed, and cared for. We left with full hearts, already planning our return.

Extraordinary and memorable to say the least. This has to be one of the finest hotels in Europe! The best part: the people who work at this hotel. Consistently Excellent team throughout the property. The location, views, food and beverages are the best of the best. There are a number of complimentary experiences for the guests and then there is the live music; the casual manner they present food in the late afternoon as you’re sipping your Negroni or Prosecco. There aren’t enough superlatives to say “thank you.”

We first travelled to Il San Pietro on honeymoon in 2001, and recently returned to celebrate our anniversary and my wife's birthday. Our visit simply reinforced my view that this is a place of timeless quality - the location, the staff, the service, the food and the rooms are all truly exceptional. Stepping back into the foyer and onto the terrace, we could immediately sense that the essence of the place, the care and passion imbued in it that almost hangs in the air, had not changed and has if anything intensified with the passing of time. This is a place to rest and relax, to take in the beauty and peaceful surroundings of the cliff top location. Positano is only a short boat transfer or shuttle ride away to enjoy, however returning back to the hotel after a day exploring felt like coming home. Thank you to Andrea and all of the staff - your care, attention to detail and stewardship are what sets ISP apart in world that has perhaps forgotten what true style and elegance used to be. Ci rivedremo.

From the staff to the facilities, everything works perfectly smoothly. One of the best properties I’ve stayed in a while. I genuinely recommend it if you want to get spoiled and enjoy a vacation in a peaceful spot in Positano. The views are breathtaking.

Text: The MOST beautiful hotel I have ever stayed at!! The beauty of this hotel brought me to tears! We were blessed enough to have stayed here last summer and it has been in my dreams ever since! The staff and manager were so kind and friendly to my husband and I and to our two teenage daughters! We talk about our visit there all of the time and how we can’t wait to go back! I am blown away by the reviews with some of the negative comments ! While I respect their opinions, I have to disagree and I hope that the hotel continues to keep it tranquil quiet so people can enjoy the beautiful sounds of nature and just relax!! One of the reasons we chose this hotel was because it’s secluded from the noise and chaos. I also could not have appreciated the beautiful soaps more and still have them set aside in their beautiful box. It was such a nice little gift and such a nice send off as we left what was the best property I have ever been to! Thank you to everyone at Il San Pietro! We will see you again soon!!️
