'Perched dramatically on Positano's cliff face, Il San Pietro feels like a secret Mediterranean paradise where guests access their own private beach via a cliff-side elevator carved into the rock.'
What's Special?
This legendary Relais & Châteaux property features rooms literally built into the cliffside, each with private terraces overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. The hotel's tennis court appears to float above the Mediterranean, while the Michelin-starred Zass restaurant serves ingredients grown in their own cliff-hanging gardens. The property's private beach is accessible only by the hotel's dramatic elevator descent through 60 meters of solid rock.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room on the lower levels for the most spectacular sea views and easier beach access. The hotel's complimentary boat service to Positano's main beach runs regularly, saving you the steep uphill walk back.
Don't Miss
Sunset cocktails at the poolside bar with unobstructed Amalfi Coast views, and the morning boat trip to Capri departing directly from the hotel's private beach. The hotel's organic vegetable garden tour reveals how they grow produce on impossible cliff terraces, including rare San Marzano tomatoes used in their acclaimed restaurant.
