Overlooking
the stunning Amalfi coastline, the 5-star hotel's IL San Pietro decor
is designed to blend in with its idyllic natural surroundings. The
terraced gardens cascading down the rocks to the private beach are
resplendent with Neapolitan ceramics and luxuriant foliage which
spills through the windows of the elegant rooms. The cuisine, a
tribute to the flavours of the South, is enhanced by excellent French
and Italian vintages. The hotel has justifiably been termed an
architectural wonder as it is out of the enormous jagged cliffs that
dominate the panoramic Amalfi coast. When in 1962 a private villa was
build at the peak of this rocky cliff face about 2 kms south of
positano there was only the ancient little oratory of San Pietro.
After transforming this villa into an hotel this is today a myriad of
60 rooms cleverly tucked into the cliffs in a series of nearly a dozen
ledges, each one-room width, so that every room is perfectly private,
with its own balcony and magnificent view. Hotel Il San Pietro is
entered by an elevator, which takes you down through the rocks into
the hall which is an airy room with terracotta floors designed by
Neapolitan ceramic experts. The rooms and suites impress one even
before entering them, with marvellous decorations on the doors,
painted by famous artists. The beach was created in front of one of
the most fascinating caves of the promontory; with a sunbathing
platform, a bar on the rocks, a tennis court surrounded by a rose
garden and flower-filled terraces on all slopes. These terraces offer
endless views of the sea and the imposing Lattari Mountains. Bright,
sunny and Mediterranean, they are privileged places for guests'
relaxation or cocktails. From the main terrace you can take in at a
glance Praiano, Li Galli and the Coast as far as the Faraglioni Rocks
of Capri. Or you can enjoy the spectacular and worldwide famous view
of Positano Accommodation:
The hotel's 58 guestrooms are equipped with air conditioning,
private terrace with sea view, jacuzzi, satellite tv, minibar,
safe-deposit box, hairdryer and direct line telephone.
- The standard guestrooms are
bright and highly comfortable and offer an outstanding view over
the sea and the coast. Each one is individually decorated and has
a personal touch creating a unique atmosphere.
- The deluxe guestrooms offer
the same facilities as the standard rooms but are larger than the
standard ones which undoubtedly means a greater comfort.
