Star Service "About a third of the rooms are deemed specials (studios and suites), which feature impressive terraces or baths with floor-to-ceiling glass walls." Full review
Concierge "The most striking thing about the San Pietro is its invisibility. No magic rings here: It's just that the hotel seems to merge with the vertiginous cliffs to which it clings."
