Il San Pietro di Positano

If you're looking for charming luxury hotel on the Amalfi coast, then you're in the right place. It's almost impossible to imagine the level of luxury you'll find at Il San Pietro but it was good enough for the likes of Tina Turner and Dustin Hoffman. As the only luxury hotel in Positano with direct access to its own private beach, a natural cove surrounded by crystal clear waters and complete with a restaurant and bar, it's positioned as one of the most enviable places to stay on the whole of the Amalfi Coast. 

The facilities are really first class. Make use of the yacht that's available for full day chartering for a truly private experience of the Amalfi Coast or join your fellow guests on a complimentary 2 hour boat cruise complete with cocktails and dips (only from June to September). Practice your tennis skills on the tennis court or lay back and appreciate the panoramic views over the small town of Praiano and the sea from the outdoor pool. Relax in the Turkish baths in the spa or make use of the hotel's 24/7 free shuttle service to Positano and spend the day exploring. 

After a long day, return to a gourmet dinner at the Michelin star restaurant or a more homely experience at the Carlino restaurant (named after the hotel's founder). Either restaurant has food of the highest standard, made with fruit, herbs, and vegetables from the organic garden that is also used to grow the flowers that you will see around the hotel. You can be assured that everything is organic and environmentally friendly, as in 2016, the kitchen was awarded the most environmentally friendly in the world and most technologically advanced in Europe. 

Whatever you decide to do, be sure that you'll have an incredible room to come back to, complete with a terrace with ocean views, complimentary minibar, and custom-made hand-painted terracotta tiles made with traditional techniques by the oldest tile-making family on the coast. You'll be surrounded by luxury and comfort, all the ingredients necessary for the perfect relaxing holiday.
