Il San Pietro

POSITANO

Welcome

The San Pietro di Positano is more than a hotel. It is a journey within a journey, where memories are created and never forgotten. A haven of peace, immersed in nature, this elegant home harmonises old-world traditions of hospitality with contemporary, understated luxury. Escape to this small slice of paradise suspended between the sea and sky.

Celebrating 50 years…

A visionary,

a large family,

a magical place.

A true story, worthy of a novel.

Carved discreetly into the cliffside, with views of the Amalfi coastline and Mediterranean sea, every room is unique: a combination of understated luxury, intricate detail, and original design.

The scent of the sea coupled with extraordinary vistas overlooking the coast makes dining at Il San Pietro di Positano a truly sensory experience. Chef Alois Vanlangenaeker combines tradition with innovation, giving classic regional recipes a modern touch.

The cuisine is light, the ingredients seasonal. Much of the produce used in our kitchens is grown in San Pietro’s organic vegetable gardens or sourced from local suppliers.

Take a boat ride, lounge poolside, sip a cocktail at our exclusive beach club, or play tennis on one of the world’s most scenic courts. Il San Pietro has something for everyone.

From sea to tennis. As the sun sets on August and rises in September, summer at the San Pietro is still in full swing.

Mare e tennis. Oggi il sole tramonta ad agosto e domani sorge a settembre. Al San Pietro l'estate è in piena forma.

Carlo and I both learned to drive in this car.” Vito says, “My uncle Carlino bought it in 1959, the year after Fiat released a limited production. He absolutely loved this car. We used the Ghia Jolly to shuttle guests between the San Pietro and Positano.”
An elite status symbol of Italian engineering, brochures from Ghia described it as the “Jolly de Plage”, or the “Joker of the beach”. With its signature wicker seats and open top, the little beach car was the coolest ride on the coast.
For more about the San Pietro’s Jolly, check out the The San Pietro Life on our website. Link in the bio.

"Carlo ed io abbiamo imparato a guidare con questa macchina", racconta Vito. "Mio zio Carlino la comprò nel 1959, l'anno dopo che la Fiat ne aveva realizzato una produzione limitata. Amava indissolubilmente questa Ghia Jolly, che per anni abbiamo usato come navetta tra l’albergo e Positano".
Status symbol d'élite dell'ingegneria italiana, gli opuscoli pubblicitari descrivevano la Ghia come la "Jolly da Spiaggia”. Con i suoi caratteristici sedili in vimini e la capote aperta, era la più modaiola della Costa.

Since opening in 1970, thousands of guests have visited the San Pietro, but for those who keep returning, it is a sentimental place where they leave a little piece of their heart to come back to year after year.

Dall'apertura nel 1970, sono tantissimi gli ospiti che hanno visitato il San Pietro. Per coloro che vi ritornano, è un luogo dell'anima, dove lasciare un pezzo di cuore da ritrovare anno dopo anno.

Buon Ferragosto! In Italy, August 15th is a public holiday marking the more general national summer vacation period around mid-August. On this particular day, sun-worshipping Italians everywhere head to the sea if they aren’t there already, armed with picnic baskets and volley balls. Where will you be?

The statue watching over the grand salone was a gift from a grateful guest who saw it in a ceramics shop and, being told it was a statue of San Pietro, gifted it to Carlino. As Italians are well acquainted with their saints, Carlino immediately noted that the statue was actually of San Gennaro (Saint John), but he took it as a symbol of good luck anyway and set the saint on his pedestal where he has blessed the hotel for 40 years.

When you come to Positano, stop at the lookout on the bend just before Il San Pietro. This is Virginia’s favorite spot where she can view everything dear to her: the sea straight ahead, Positano on the right and Praiano on the left. Nestled in the centre of this ethereal tableau, stands Il San Pietro, the hotel of dreamers.
