Il San Pietro di Positano

Not sure whether Il San Pietro di Positano is a Harper property, but it is incredibly beautiful and the service was friendly and extremely efficient. The only negatives were 1) the food-at a dinner we had on site was just so-so, which was surprising at a property like this, and 2) our "Deluxe Double Room with Terrace & Sea View" for 680e had a terrace that was 1/3 the size of our friends' 550e "Standard Room" (of which we were informed there were only four). Our bathroom did have a picture window by the bathtub that overlooked a cove many feet blow (not for the shy since there was no shade or curtain!) and were told it was a larger room than our friends'. Certainly didn't seem larger. However, this did not diminish our stay at this lovely property, and we would return. June 2011

Il Salviatini was amazing as you probably know. We hated the garden suite but the price was right and when my husband asked we were given a lovely junior suite overlooking town. So that was a treat!  Again the people were charming but the service very sporadic. It is rather an odd place that doesn't quite seem to have been fine-tuned yet. It was the most horrible weather while we were there which seem to throw everyone (including ourselves!). However, with the thunder and lightning accompanied by terrific winds it was quite dramatic! Fun to see. We were met there by our son and a friend who are "doing the European Tour". They stayed in a bed and breakfast just down the road and the hotel was very generous in allowing them to use the pool (in the rain!) which was marvellous. All in all a very positive experience and we will return I'm sure. June 2011
