The setting
Built into a cliff promontory on Via Laurito, 1.5 kilometres east of Positano, Il San Pietro di Positano was conceived in 1970 by Carlo Cinque on the site he chose for its uninterrupted panorama of Positano's painted houses, the Li Galli islets, and the open Tyrrhenian — the hotel so seamlessly carved into rock that it is invisible from the road above. Positano's Marina Grande beach and the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta are seven and nine minutes by road, with a complimentary shuttle connecting the property to the village. The eastward remove from Positano's centre, a private cliff beach by rock-cut lift, and ten terraces of organic gardens define why this promontory was chosen for one of the Amalfi Coast's most celebrated luxury retreats. 8 km from Grotta dello Smeraldo. 13 km from Amalfi Cathedral.
