At a glance
A three-Michelin-keys hotel carved into the cliffs above the Amalfi Coast, Il San Pietro di Positano is one of Italy’s most coveted addresses, where every room looks out over the sea.
Rooms and suites are studies in considered Italian craftsmanship, with hand-painted ceramic tiles, custom-made furniture, and fine local textiles throughout. Each opens onto a private terrace with uninterrupted views of the turquoise coastline, creating an intimacy that feels closer to a private home than a hotel.
Dining is exceptional. The Michelin-starred Zass Restaurant draws on organic produce from the hotel’s own gardens, while Carlino offers a more relaxed setting right at the water’s edge. The Grand Terrace is the place for sunset cocktails, with views that make it one of the great spots on the coast.
Facilities include a panoramic pool suspended above the Mediterranean, a secluded beach club, luxury yacht charters, and one of the world’s most scenic tennis courts.

Accommodation
Prestige Room
Spacious and luxuriously appointed, the Prestige Rooms feature large bathrooms finished in Italian marble or handmade terracotta tiles, with grand private terraces commanding sweeping views of the Amalfi coastline. The quality of materials and the scale of the outdoor space make these among the most sought-after rooms at the hotel.
Signature Room
Each Signature Room is individually designed, giving every stay a distinct character while maintaining the same high standard of space and finish throughout. Generous bathrooms are matched by large panoramic terraces fully furnished with tables, chairs, and sunbeds, designed for long, unhurried hours above the sea.
The Virginia Suite
One of the most photographed rooms on the entire Amalfi Coast, Suite 59 occupies a full floor of the hotel with its own private entrance to the panoramic swimming pool. Its reputation precedes it, and the reality more than delivers: a suite that feels genuinely unlike anywhere else on the coast.
Carlino's Prestige Room
Offering some of the most spectacular views of Positano and the coastline from one of the hotel’s finest terraces, Carlino’s Prestige Room pairs its extraordinary outlook with spacious, light-filled interiors in a bright, polished style. A standout choice for guests who want the full drama of the setting.

Well-being
The wellness offering at Il San Pietro is built around its extraordinary natural setting. The fitness centre sits partly beneath a fragrant lemon orchard with open coastal views, while complimentary sunrise Pilates and yoga sessions take place on the beachfront lawn each morning. The spa rounds things out with luxury treatments including massages, a Finnish shower, and a Turkish bath.
Dining
Dining at Il San Pietro spans four distinct options. The Michelin-starred Zass Restaurant is the headline act, where Chef Alois Vanlangenaeker crafts seasonal tasting menus with panoramic sea views as backdrop. Carlino offers relaxed beachside eating from the hotel’s own organic gardens. The Terrace Bar and L’Alcova Bar handle cocktails and wine, with Bits & Bites for lighter grazing on the terraces.
Experiences
San Pietro offers a thoughtfully curated programme of hands-on cultural experiences throughout the stay. Cooking classes focus on authentic southern Italian and Mediterranean dishes using produce from the hotel’s ten-terrace organic garden. A private wine tasting in Zass draws from a cellar of over 600 labels, while the complimentary cocktail masterclass with head bartender Michelangelo is a highlight for many guests.
