Il San Pietro di Positano  

Perched into the rock above Laurito on the Amalfi Coast, this 5-star beach hotel looks out over Positano and the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea. You're about 6 km from the Church of Santa Maria Assunta and within a 15-minute drive of Positano Town Hall and Marina di Praia. Expect private beach access and panoramic terraces that steal the show.

Il San Pietro is built into the cliff with sweeping terraces and a living plant wall. The 57 individually decorated rooms each have private furnished balconies or terraces, minibars, flat-screen TVs and bathrooms with tubs or showers; some rooms feature hand-painted ceramic tiles and sumptuous fabrics.

There’s a full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials, plus an outdoor pool and a private beach. Active guests get a tennis court, fitness center and yoga area, plus sauna, steam room and solarium. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings, use the complimentary shuttle within 1.5 km, and enjoy on-site bars including a beach and poolside bar.

Facilities include a computer station and lobby newspapers, plus concierge and valet services. Dry cleaning and laundry services are available, and a roundtrip airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge.

Dine at Zass, the hotel's Michelin one‑star restaurant, serving Mediterranean dishes with local and international touches and terrace views when weather allows. A second on-site restaurant, room service (limited hours) and a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 7:00–11:00 round out the food options.
