An Experience We'll Never Forget
10/10

“As we sit in the airport on our way home, reflecting on the incredible stay we just had at Il San Pietro, we felt compelled to write this review.
My wife and I travel frequently and have stayed at many luxury hotels around the world, but the level of service at Il San Pietro is unlike anything we've ever experienced. From the moment we stepped through the doors, every single staff member welcomed us with genuine warmth, kindness, and a smile. Within no time, everyone knew us by name, making us feel truly at home.
One of our biggest concerns before arriving was our strict kosher dietary requirements. The team went above and beyond to accommodate us. They arranged for kosher meals to be brought in from Rome, prepared everything using brand-new utensils dedicated specifically for us, and handled every request with flexibility and genuine care. They never once made us feel like we were asking for too much.
What impressed us most was the attention to the smallest details. Every morning at breakfast, instead of asking what coffee we wanted, they would simply smile and ask, "The same as yesterday?" It may seem like a small gesture, but those little moments made us feel truly cared for. That level of personal attention is what separates great hotels from truly exceptional ones.
A special thank you to Massimo, the Food & Beverage Manager, who was always available, always smiling, and constantly making sure every meal and every detail was perfect. Thank you as well to Luigi at Il Carlino Restaurant—you are an absolute legend. We have rarely met someone in hospitality with such genuine warmth, positivity, and passion for taking care of guests. And thank you to Ivan at breakfast, who consistently made sure every request was handled flawlessly.
We would also like to recognize the General Manager. We have never seen a General Manager so present and hands-on. He was constantly around the property, greeting guests, checking in, and making sure everything was running perfectly. That level of leadership is clearly reflected throughout the entire team.
As for the hotel itself, the setting is simply breathtaking. Perched above Positano with spectacular views, a private beach, and a convenient shuttle into town, we truly don't think there is a better location on the Amalfi Coast.
What makes Il San Pietro extraordinary isn't just the beautiful property—it's the people. Every member of the team genuinely seemed happy to be there, happy to help, and passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for their guests. You can feel that culture from the moment you arrive, and it made all the difference.
This wasn't just a hotel stay—it was an experience we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Without hesitation, we give Il San Pietro 10/10 and cannot wait to return.
To everyone at Il San Pietro, thank you for making our anniversary trip so incredibly special. We will absolutely be back.”

The most breathtaking hotel in the world
10/10
790elleh · Friends getaway · 2026-07-23
“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!”
A place like no other!

“Just coming back from another unforgettable stay at Il San Pietro. Every year, I wish I could leave a 6-star review! The combination of utmost comfort, genuine hospitality, traditions passed through generations, and meticulous attention to every detail keeps Il San Pietro as the unchallenged #1 on our travel list.
I could write pages about the unique and beautiful room designs, the exceptional service throughout the hotel, or the delicious steak Florentine at Zass. Instead, I’ll share one small example that shows why this hotel is like no other.
Our first trip to what has become our “home away from home” was in 2008. On that visit, we met many couples who had been returning to this incomparable property for years — even decades. Now, 18 years later, my wife and I are meeting the next generation of Il San Pietro devotees.
One day by the pool, we chatted with a younger couple about their first visit. The wife mentioned to pool manager Pasquale that her bathing suit had blown off the terrace during a storm the day before. She thought nothing more of it — until, just 20 minutes later, Pasquale appeared with her bathing suit neatly folded.
If you’ve seen photos of Il San Pietro, you know it’s built into a cliff with a serious vertical drop outside the terraces and balconies. We’ll never know how Pasquale found it, but the fact that he even thought to look says everything about the hotel’s philosophy.
Special thank you to Andrea, Juliano, Lorenzo P, Alfredo and many others for always making us and our friends feel so incredibly welcome - we can’t wait to return!”
Our tip to the Amalfi Coast

“We've been fortunate to stay at many of the world’s finest hotels, and Il San Pietro is, without question, the best hotel we've ever experienced.
Everything about this property is extraordinary. The entire team from the owners Vito and Carlo, the amazing GM, Andre and Reservations Manager Lorenzo make you feel like family. The property itself is breathtaking. Built into the cliffs with spectacular views of the Amalfi Coast, the views are unforgettable. The food is exceptional, from breakfast overlooking the sea to unforgettable dinners.
What truly sets Il San Pietro apart isn’t just the luxury—it’s the feeling. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, and every experience exceeds expectations. It’s rare to find a hotel that combines world-class amenities with such authentic warmth and hospitality. You do not feel like a guest, you are in fact family.
An unforgettable experience and the gold standard by which I’ll judge every hotel from now on.”
Must see but !

“Positano is quite a tourist place. The hotel Sirenus is quite overrated. Stay at The San Pietro a remarkable experience! In two nights you can see and walk the town and live the experience! Then continue your journey to nearby towns that offer the same beauty without the crowds!”

“I’ve been fortunate to stay at many of the world’s finest hotels, and Il San Pietro di Positano is, without question, the best hotel I’ve ever experienced.
Everything about this place is extraordinary. The service is simply flawless—warm, intuitive, and genuinely personal. Every member of the staff makes you feel less like a guest and more like family.
The property itself is breathtaking. Built into the cliffs with spectacular views of the Amalfi Coast, every corner feels like a postcard. The lush gardens, immaculate grounds, and private beach create an atmosphere of tranquility that is impossible to describe until you experience it yourself. (Il San Pietro)
The food is exceptional, from breakfast overlooking the sea to unforgettable dinners featuring the freshest local ingredients. Every meal feels like an event, yet never pretentious. (Il San Pietro)

“a group of selfish people: we had made a request, but they had nothing, I'm very emotionally invested it was supposed to be a surprise. That said, the place is enchanting, just like all of Positano.”

“Words can’t describe the experience of staying at Il San Pietro di Positano. Everything exceeds the highest standards of luxury - the location, property, rooms, dining, and especially the staff.
The training surely does not have the word “no” in its curriculum and we were truly treated ed like family. I very likely could name every employee I interacted with but the GM, Andrea, Martina at the pool, and the man that wears so many hats, Pasquale, truly made the stay incredible.
I’d like to say it’s a once in a lifetime experience but we’ve already booked our return for June 2027!!”
