Il San Pietro di Positano ReviewAffording luxurious accommodations and exceptionally professional service in a wonderful location just outside Positano by Laurito Beach, this family-run member of the Relais & Châteaux group is the place to stay on the Amalfi Coast. Elegant public areas have French windows opening onto the garden and the sea; spacious guest rooms have antiques, tiled floors, pink-marble bathrooms, and private terraces; some have huge picture windows. The hotel's private beach is accessible by elevator, and there's a splendid panoramic swimming pool, tennis court, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with a wonderful spa. Note: The hotel welcomes children only age 10 and above. The Michelin-rated Il San Pietro is a unique restaurant for the postcard views, cozy terrace, garden, and exceptional food: Chef Alois Vanlangenacker uses local ingredients -- mostly from the hotel's own farm -- to create sophisticated yet simple concoctions such as the pollo ruspante in crosta di agrumi (free-range chicken in a citrus crust). The restaurant is closed November through March; reservations are required as well as formal dress for dinner. Guests can also enjoy the new beachside restaurant Carlino. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
