“The most stunning place I've ever been,” wrote a reader of this Relais & Chateaux resort, which sits atop a high promontory on the Amalfi Coast. The location makes for excellent views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and distant Capri — but don’t worry, a cliffside elevator can take you down to water level and Il San Pietro’s private beach.

Four stories of Second Empire-style luxury (Tiffany windows, crystal chandeliers) make this 21-room inn, formerly a private residence, one of Charleston’s most memorable. The Southern hospitality at this downtown property includes “afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres, evening port, sherry, and brandy,” as one reader remembered fondly.
