Il San Pietro di Positano
A cliffside hotel just outside Positano, where every room has a sea-view terrace and a lift runs down to a private beach.
Il San Pietro is built into the cliff on a headland just east of Positano, so you see the town and the coast without its crowds. Every one of its rooms has a private terrace facing the sea, with hand-painted tiles and terracotta floors. A lift cut through the rock takes you down to the private beach club, and there is a heated pool, a tennis court on the cliff edge and daily yoga. Zass, the Michelin-starred restaurant, is a highlight. Boats and vans shuttle guests into Positano throughout the day.
Booked through me, your stay at Il San Pietro di Positano includes Virtuoso benefits.

Advisor notes
Advisors describe it as the most resort-like hotel on the coast, and suggest upgrading if a king bed or a bathtub matters, as a few entry bathrooms are small.
Good to know
- Some entry-level bathrooms are small, and upgrades secure a king bed or a tub.
- The hotel closes for the winter months, so I check opening dates first.
