Italy: Il San Pietro di Positano, Amalfi

A Cliffside Hotel With Its Own Elevator to the Sea

Built into the cliffs above Positano by the late architect Carlo Cinque, Il San Pietro di Positano holds 58 rooms and suites, each individually designed with interiors curated by Renzo Mongiardino and a private, sea-view terrace or balcony draped in hanging gardens. Options run from 26-square-meter Deluxe Rooms up to the 100-square-meter Virginia Suite, which opens directly onto the pool.

Zass, the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, is led by chef Alois Vanlangenaeker and built around ingredients harvested from the property's own organic gardens, served on a panoramic dining terrace over the bay. A private lift carries guests from the lobby straight down the cliff face to San Pietro's private beach, and the spa, using La Prairie products, adds a Turkish bath, Finnish shower, and full gym. A private yacht, tennis court, and semicircular pool round out the amenities.
