— a treasure nestled among the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast.
History & Status
Founded in 1970 by Carlino Cinque, Il San Pietro was born from the idea of creating a harmonious space that blends with nature — set directly on the cliffside, with a private elevator to the beach and terraced gardens cascading down to the sea.
The hotel is family-owned, maintaining an atmosphere of exclusivity, and has already been recognized by Relais & Châteaux and Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List.
Location & Atmosphere
Even before stepping onto its terrace, you already feel this place is meant for you: silence, the greenery of citrus gardens, cliffs, and the blue of the sea visible even from the rooms.
Condé Nast Traveler describes it as “a primordial Eden scented with flowers and citrus.” Meanwhile, Vogue calls the hotel “an architectural marvel that attracts celebrities.”
Rooms
The rooms offer comfort without excess: from Classic (~22 m²) to the Virginia Suite (120 m²) with its own level, direct pool access, and a private elevator.
Rates
A private beach accessible by elevator with a sunbed area. Spa, swimming pool, yoga, Pilates, tennis, and open-air fitness — everything you need to stay in shape with a sea view.
Two restaurants: Zass (Michelin-starred cuisine) and Carlino (light seaside dishes made with produce from the hotel’s own garden).
Services: complimentary shuttle to Positano, parking, Wi-Fi, concierge, boat tours and yachts, spa, tennis, and a beach club.
Guest Impressions
Over 400 reviews from American visitors highlight the service and atmosphere: “you feel like you’re in your own villa,” “the view from the balcony with morning coffee is pure bliss,” “a true gem of the coastline.”
Il San Pietro di Positano is more than just a hotel. It is an oasis where history, nature, and family hospitality merge into an experience that stays with you forever.
Rates start at around \$450 for a Classic and go beyond \$900 for a Premier — but behind every dollar lies a view that stops time.
