Hotel San Pietro

We were there July 2023. We were in a spacious three bedroom self catering apartment, generally it was fine although dated, especially the kitchen. Decent supermarket and fruit and veg shop close to apartments. No daily competition for the loungers, loved the sprung diving board, it was a real hit for us as a family. I’m pretty sure the hotel is family owned and run so they genuinely care and are helpful. We only had food and drinks at lunchtime from the poolside bar, it was always good. Reasonable walk into town but nothing too strenuous for us. Beautiful town and stunning surrounding area, lots to do and see. Lots of TripAdvisor recommended restaurants in town.

The Hotel was pretty quiet at this time of year, nearing the end of the season. In an Alright location - if you don’t mind walking up a hill- it had super clean room that were generously sized, adequate kitchen facilities and was near to all the amenities we needed.

The outside of this property does need serious attention to improve the appearance. The inside is typical of many Italian hotels. Traditional in appearance, but very clean. Warm welcome, and we were shown to our room and helped with our luggage. Our apartment looked very clean throughout and had a freshly cleaned smell about it. It was really well equipped with a fridge/freezer, full-size cooker, and hob. The bed was seriously comfortable. There was no aircon in the bedroom, but there was a ceiling fab. Being October, we were fine without air-conditioning, and there is air-conditioning in the lounge, if needed. The hotel is on a busy road down to the coast, but as our bedroom was at the rear of the apartment, we were not disturbed by any road noise when sleeping. Local supermarket just down the road and about 10 minutes walk to the seafront. Personally, apart from the person who checked us in, we didn't find the reception staff very interactive. They never looked up if you walked past, and we were never asked if everything was okay or had we had a nice day, etc. Even when asking for our passports back, they were just handed over, with no further engagement, which I have not experienced before in any hotel. Overall, though, our stay was adequate. Maiori restaurant menus, being a town with lots of local fisherman, are very fish and seafood focused. If you do not like one or both of these, apart from pizza and some pasta dishes, you may struggle to find sufficient menu options. We found nowhere offering chicken dishes, only one offering lamb, pork, etc. It's just something to be aware of if choosing Maiori as your holiday destination.

Stayed for 11 nights, the stay never even lifted their head when we walked passed which I found very rude. The pool area looks clean however whilst I was swimming a plaster stuck itself to me and I left it on the edge of the pool (this was thursday) the following Wednesday the plaster was still there. No music by the pool at all not even light background music all you can hear is a cat constantly meowing, when the cat was let out it roamed towards the kitchen area .. I didn't eat from there after that. The lights on the balcony was never turned on so couldn't sit on balcony and read at night. Breakfast not much choice on savory side plenty of sweet pastry and donuts. I would not rate this hotel as 4* more like a 2 - 3, disappointed as the reviews was so good. No friendly welcome to us at all no acknowledgement from the reception staff at all.
