Experiences
At the San Pietro
Guided gardens visit
The gardens are one of the most interesting aspects of the San Pietro’s geography, not only for their layered terraces that are typical to the Amalfi Coast, but for their large production of organic produce that is used daily in our restaurants and bars, and the flowers used to decorate the halls and rooms. The Maitre’d will accompany you through the gardens along a scenic path that gradually descends to the sea, while describing the production and harvesting of seasonal vegetables interspersed with colourful anecdotes and curiosities. Please request this complimentary tour at Reception.
Winetasting
With a cellar of over 600 labels, wine is an important part of the San Pietro’s culture. From a theoretical introduction, to combinations, pairing and tasting, our sommeliers will guide you through a private wine tasting in the quiet setting of the Zass Restaurant. Aimed at experiencing the excellence and uniqueness of popular wine territories, our sommeliers offer a choice of 3 regional itineraries (Piedmont, Tuscany and Campania), or a personalized itinerary upon request. Please inquire at Reception for reservation and prices.
Mini Italian course
Learning to speak Italian in under an hour is possible at the San Pietro. In a simple and intuitive 4-lesson mini-course designed especially for our guests, you will learn how to introduce yourself, greet people correctly, order a drink at the bar, or ask for the time. For those who already have a good grasp of the language, lessons can be personalized and calibrated. The service is free and subject to availability.
Cocktail masterclass
Interested in learning the secrets behind the preparation of classic cocktails on the menu? Head bartender, Michelangelo, offers a popular cocktail Masterclass every afternoon at the bar L’Alcova. In this sophisticated setting, you will learn simple tricks of the trade for preparing distinctive and professional drinks, which you can then enjoy with snacks. Ask at Reception to reserve your seat at the bar. This service is complimentary to guests.

“The small local squid called “totani” are fished around the same time as the tomatoes are harvested and the potatoes are dug up. So it is no coincidence that the two best known ingredients accompanying totani dishes are tomatoes and potatoes. The popular totani and potato dish, perhaps made more famous in Capri, actually originates from the small town of Praiano, Positano’s closest neighbour.
I am indebted to this cephalopod because as a teenager, we would invite the tourists to come fishing for squid. We’d set off at sunset equipped with everything we needed, including drinks, sandwiches and above all, a lot of enthusiasm. We floated in the middle of the sea, looked at the stars, listened to the waves splashing against the side of the boat, we gazed into each other’s eyes and that’s how first loves were born.”
In our latest blog in The San Pietro Life, Vito Cinque recalls stories of totani “embedded in his sensory memories”. Click the link in our bio to read more.

There ain’t nothing baby better than this
It’s like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
It feels something like summertime.”

A couple of rainy days have freshened the air, bringing some relief from the latest heatwave. Our gardens are certainly happy and maybe our guests are too?
Un paio di giorni di pioggia hanno rinfrescato l’aria, portando un po’ di sollievo dal caldo. I nostri giardini ringraziano e forse anche i nostri ospiti?

It’s that time of year again, the hot and humid pinnacle of summer. And if you’re at the San Pietro that means a Ferragosto party on the grand terrace where we’ll dance until the midnight fireworks.
È di nuovo quel momento dell`anno, in cui il caldo dell`estate è al culmine. E se siete al San Pietro questo significa “Festa di Ferragosto” sulla grande terrazza dove si balla fino ai fuochi d`artificio di mezzanotte.

Carlino, the creator who imagined the San Pietro into reality, dreamed of a paradise, built on a promontory outside the village of Positano that would welcome visitors from across the world. A rare hotel removed from the throng, the luxury of beauty and care its value. Fifty-four years on, his vision continues.

When you first arrive at the San Pietro, you will likely meet Paola, our senior receptionist who has been meeting and greeting guests at check in for 35 years. In her well-informed opinion, there is never a dull moment at the San Pietro.
