Il San Pietro di Positano
Positano, Italy
Opened in 1970, this stalwart Positano stay is the summer fling of choice for the global glitterati. No wonder: with its postcard-perfect looks, Positano has become Italy’s most in-the-limelight coastal location, and the cliff-perched Il San Pietro di Positano is the town’s luxury heartland. The 56-room property gazes out over the Bay of Positano, offering exquisite bedrooms whose chic blue and white interiors mimic the breathtaking sea views beyond their flower-filled terraces. Guests have access to a private beach reached by elevator. Such is the luxury of this rock-clinging resort that impressively outlandish services are considered normal – a Mercedes-Benz shuttle service into Positano town, for example, or boat rides around the beautiful bay. Well hidden from prying eyes in the crevices of the landscapes coastline, the hotel has become a hideaway for guests keen to avoid unwanted attention – George Clooney and Julia Roberts are both reported fans. Two restaurants utilise produce plucked from the hotel’s terraced gardens. At Zass, you’ll want to order Belgian chef Alois Valangenaeker’s local speciality: Spaghetti Positano. Note that the hotel closes during the winter months.
