Il San Pietro is widely considered to be one of the best hotels in Italy. It is built into the rock with panoramic terraces magnificently overlooking Positano and the Coast. Each uniquely decorated guest room comes with a private terrace decorated in the sophisticated local style with hand-painted ceramic tiles and furniture upholstered in sumptuous fabrics.

This beautiful hotel is by far the best in Positano and most likely one of our top stays ever. I travel over 100 nights a year for work and usually stay at a chain location. We decided to stay at ISP and had by far the best experience you could ask for. The hotel is beautiful but the staff makes it perfect. All of the staff we encountered went out of their way to make you feel at home. I can't say enough how great the experience was!!

There are not enough superlatives to describe the Il San Pietro! We have traveled the world and have stayed at Five-Star Hotels during our holidays. If there is such a rating as a Six or Seven-Star hotel...it is the Il San Pietro! This was our second time to stay at this most spectacular property and the first words from one of the staff when we arrived were - "Welcome Home"! This is a family-owned luxury property with the matriarch, Virginia and her two children overseeing the operations. Let's not forget about her beautiful dog, Zarina, who is always by her side! Everyone who works at San Pietro takes tremendous pride in making certain your stay is everything you expected it to be. The spacious terrace overlooking the sea and watching the sunset each evening was an "out of body" experience. Sipping on your favorite cocktail, while enjoying delicious nightly canapés and listening to mandolin players as the sun was setting was incredible! The food at the two main restaurants was delicious and one of them, Zass, is a Michelin-Star "comfortable" outdoor dining experience. The Carlino is also delicious and you are sitting right by the sea as you dine...absolutely amazing! Many of their herbs and vegetable are grown in the garden on property. The General Manager, Andrea, is always around visiting with guests throughout the day and well into the evening. When you speak with him you can feel the passion and pride he has and will do whatever it takes to make your time at San Pietro a memorable and wonderful experience. We have already booked our dates for next year and will be taking our son and daughter-in-law to share our love for our "second home"!…

Simply amazing. If you are trying to decide between Sirenuse and ISP it is a no brainier. We thought we wanted to be in the middle of town and we’re conflicted but ISP is just way better. The beach area is so nice and they offer complimentary boat and taxi shuttles to the centre (24/7)! Lovely stay and will always book this hotel in Positano!

Loved every second of being there! It is the most unique hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff was just as excellent as the hotel itself! You can definitely tell the staff takes a lot of pride in what they do and truly want to see the guests have a great time. The general manager Andrea was always available to answer any questions and went out of his way to check in daily to make sure you were enjoying your stay. Pasqual gave us the best dinner recommendation that my wife and I are still talking about! He even called the owner and booked the reservation for us! We can't wait to come back to il San Pietro! Thanks for a memorable stay!!

Could not have asked for a more stunning property to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Upon check in we were generously upgraded to a room that overlooked Positano and the ocean, which made us very happy. The staff was wonderfully attentive without being intrusive which allowed us to truly relax. All around Five Stars!!

Our home away from home. We absolutely love this place. The staff and service is impeccable. The views a Positano and the Mediterranean Sea are like none other! The food is over the top delicious! The hotel provides free 2 hour boat tours of the Amalfi coast each day. They provide free shuttle services to Positano. When you’re ready to explore, the staff is happy to assist you with TOURS, and car services are readily available. The best absolute hotel in the world.

For many years we have wanted to stay at Il San Pietro but could never find availability -- and now we know why. Two nights here were not nearly enough. To say Il San Pietro is magical is an understatement. The cliff-hanging location and view of the ocean are both incredible, but as others have said, the staff here are incomparable. Every single staff member we encountered was genuinely kind, helpful and eager to do anything necessary to enhance our stay. Our lovely Prestige Room with Sea View had a very large terrace with three separate seating areas including a dining table where we enjoyed breakfast, plus an entertaining view of the pool. We had an excellent lunch at the restaurant down by the beach club and two superb dinners at Zass (we canceled a reservation elsewhere in order to dine there a second night). Our overarching experience was a feeling of being made totally welcome despite being first-time guests. As we pulled away from the hotel's pier alongside the beach club on a boat bound for Capri, all we could think was, when can we return? Soon, we hope. …

Wow! What an amazing hotel! From the facilities to the staff, every single aspect of our stay was perfect. Andrea is a phenomenal general manager and did a great job continuously checking in on us during our stay. The rest of the staff was just as friendly and attentive to our needs - always making sure we were enjoying our time. We had breakfast delivered to our hotel most mornings and had a very friendly conversation each time with the staff member who delivered our food. And our experience was the same at the spa/gym, the hotel bar, Zaas, during our pizza making class, and during all other activities and while at all other spaces we used at the hotel. Usually when we go to a five-star hotel, we are awed with the facilities. The facilities here were superb, but what got our attention and wowed us the most was the staff! The staff was the highlight of our trip and is the number one reason we will be coming back to the hotel in the future. …

My wife and I were in Rome for a combination business and pleasure trip and extended our time in Italy with a 3 night stay at Il San Pietro di Positano. From the moment we stepped foot into the lobby at arrival to our final moments at departure, we were simply wowed with the level of service. We were warmly greeted at the front desk, personally welcomed by Andrea Zana and escorted to the terrace to take in the beautiful vista and enjoy our cocktail. Everything throughout our stay was simply perfection. Although the physicals property is spectacular, it is the team of people that we came in contact with that provided a level of exceptional hospitality that we have not experienced at any other hotel. We hope to return and enjoy this very special place.
