Il San Pietro is a family-run hotel carved into the rocks on the road between Positano and Praiano. From the terraces you look back at Positano's colored houses on one side and toward Capri on the other.
It's one of the few Positano hotels with its own beach, and the hotel shuttle runs into the village. It's seasonal, open roughly April through October, and it's a classic pick for honeymoons.
