We've been visiting HSP, almost every year since 2006. If you're wondering why we keep returning to the same property over and over. Here's why.
The property and the people!
The property is absolutely stunning. The gorgeous, newly renovated rooms and suites all have balconies or terraces with Seaviews. Extremely well appointed with the best of everything. Highest quality linens, soaps, pillows, mattresses. The housekeeping team are fantastic. Always available to ensure everything is perfect.
HSP.
Landscaping, gardens are breathtaking. One of our favourite places to hang out is the world famous terrace. The most magnificent place to enjoy cocktails and the spectacular views of Positano and Praiano. Most evenings there are musicians playing soft music to entertain the guests.
HSP is the only hotel in Positano with a private beach club. Lined with orange chaises lounges and white umbrellas. They serve refreshments and light snacks. Try the refreshing "Watermelon Party". Luca makes a great one. They also have a pool carved into the side of the cliff. Enjoy breathtaking views while taking a cool dip.
They are lots of activities for those who choose. Tennis courts, pilate classes, Italian classes, wine tasting, complimentary daily boat rides along the coast, garden tours, and lots more. For us, we enjoy swimming in the Mediterranean and reading a good book in the shade of the umbrellas. "Do nothing time is too precious to waste"
Dining at the HSP is an event in itself. Casual fare at beachside Carlino or Michelin starred dining at Zass. HSP has covered all bases. You never need to leave the property. You must try the "Amuse Bouche" pizza at Zass. Hard to resist just one slice.
Let me talk about the people. The San Pietro team are the kindest, warmest, most welcoming and loving group of people we've ever met. From the first visit, we were welcomed like family. Now, when we arrive, many of the team, greet us with hugs, open arms and kisses. They sincerely love their guests and they share their affection.
No wonder we call HSP, "our home away from home". From the reception team, dining team, beach team, housekeeping, terrace team, and management.....they're all dedicated to ensuring the ultimate vacation experience.
Under the careful watch of Vito, Carlo and GM Andrea, the whole property runs flawlessly. Their attention to detail is remarkable. Every year we look forward to returning just to see what exciting new additions and upgrades have been added over the winter.
Thank you Andrea and team (our San Pietro family) for another memorable vacation. We're already counting the days till we return in 2025.
Grazie mille,
Arrivederci!
