“Amazing staff and hotel. The location is superb. Being away from the crowds of Positano proper, but with the ability to shuttle in easily is the perfect balance. The general manager Andrea makes you feel like the most important guest. As does the rest of the staff. Rosella at the front desk was terrific. I wish I could name all of the staff members, as they were all exceptional. One slight disappointment was that the boat excursion was canceled two days in a row, but that couldn’t be helped. A tremendous 5 star experience!!!”

The views are stunning around every corner of the property from the top to the sea. . The cuisine is amazing. The pizza making class and wine tasting were also really fun experiences. Grazie team San Pietro. We will definitely return one day !”

“We stayed here 3 nights for our honeymoon and had an amazing time! They provided a special gift to take home since we were celebrating our honeymoon. All the staff was extremely helpful and pleasant and helped us navigate weather related challenges. We did the cooking class, pizza making, cocktail making which were all wonderful! We also played in the amazing tennis court right near the water which was beautiful. They also have their own private beach club which is plus if you want to avoid the crowded areas. We also dined at Zass and Il Carlino (the two on-site restaurants) which were very good. The hotel provides shuttle service to Positano city center and water taxi to the main Positano beach as well which was very convenient. Breakfast is included and the best of what we had in our time in Italy. All the rooms, restaurants, and common areas all have stunning views of either Positano or Praiano. Unfortunately we didn’t get to do the boat cruise because of bad weather / sea conditions during our stay. We truly had the best time staying at this property and really appreciated all the staff for making it such a memorable stay. Will definitely need to come back, highly recommend!”

“I don't even know where to begin... everything about his property is AMAZING. Every single employee was gracious, helpful and kind, the scenery/decor/architecture divine and one of a kind, the food (breakfast, lunch, bits & bites on terrace and dinner) at each of the dining establishments were excellent, elevated by superb service. The gratis boat ride was the highlight, as well as lounging oceanside at their beach club and swimming in the sea, and the pizza and cooking classes. As far as rooms go, they have truly thought of everything you need to make your stay perfect... so many great touches and thoughtful items. The view from every single window at this property is to die for... i am not kidding. We loved sitting on our terrace in the mornings and evenings each day. We were super glad we didnt stay in Positano, boating and shuttling in were easy and quick. We loved the privacy and peace Il san pietro di positano offered. We simply cannot wait to go back! Thank you again for an excellent stay we will never forget. Ciao~”
