The owner has done a marvelous Job. The customer service is amazing, the view is surreal and the location is great. You can catch the bus just a few stairs up, or you can get to the beach directly down.

Gippy and his wife have created a gorgeous haven of beauty, kindness, and peace at the Venus Inn! They are generous enough to share it with their guests as if we are all family. Gippy was super helpful, and a genuinely kind and authentic person that we feel lucky to have encountered. He helped with all kinds of travel arrangements including from the Naples train station, and for sightseeing along the Amalfi coast, as well as local walking and bus travel in Positano. We noticed how much he enjoyed interacting with each guest and made them feel comfortable and at home at this gorgeous Inn with the most heavenly views from the rooms and the terrace. Breakfast service was friendly and very enjoyable with the beautiful views and cheerful conversations. Positano itself is a wonderful place and this Inn is located very well and convenient to the local bus stop and beach. Thank you!

Great property with a beautiful view of Positano and the Mediterranean. Location is impeccable, walking distance to beach and town. Gippy and Anna Maria ensured facilities were always clean. Gippy arranged our transfers to and from Napoli Centrale. He was very helpful and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. Breakfast was delicious and abundant - those fresh warm croissants cannot be beat! Thank you Gippy for the hospitality. Highly recommend Venus B&B to anyone staying in Positano!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Venus B&B for 4 nights and really enjoyed our stay. Our host Gippy was so hospitable and provided us with maps and tips on where to go. The location of this B&B was ideal because it gave out to the most splendid view of Positano. We truly enjoyed our stay there because Gippy made us feel so welcome. Plus he makes a delicious cappucino :)

We enjoyed our stay in this excellent location for Positano. Our host Gippy is fantastic and has great recommendations for sightseeing and dining not only in Postiano but along the Amalfi Coast. The rooms are simple and very nice. We found the rooms very clean as well as the shower. We wanted a room with a view, and we got a fantastic view, with a terrace for a great value. We did have breakfast at an additional $4euros per person, and we thought it was perfect. Fresh fruit and croissants, jam and juice and delicious coffee made fresh, plus we could walk out on our terrace and enjoy the morning while having breakfast. We loved Positano and the Venus Inn B & B!

The B&B is well located, giving great views of the coast and of Positano. Gippy was incredibly friendly and helpful, he is a very genuine person and gave us good tips during our stay - we wouldnt hesitate to return. He definitely goes above and beyond and really added to our great Amalfi experience!

We stayed in room 4 for four nights recently and had a great time. The rooms, while basic, are spacious and comfortable. The breakfast is lovely (coffee, fresh fruit from Gippys garden and croissants with spreads) and served on the terrace overlooking the fornillo valley and sea. Gippy is very helpful, seems to speak every language imaginable and is full of great advice so make sure you share your plans with him over breakfast and he'll point you in the right direction. The location is also pretty good, 400 steps down to fornillo beach or about 15 mins walk down the road to the main beach/port.
A couple of tips - Positano is in a valley and sound (like a neighbours dog barking at night) carries far and wide so take earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Also don't leave food in your room as you are likely to find it covered in ants when your return.

Venus B&B Positano is in a great location - 20 minute stroll from beach/water taxis/shops/restaurants. Room large and comfortable, good shower. Fantastic view from terrace where breakfast was served. The best part of the Venus B&B is the owner Gippy - a wonderful host who cant do enough for guests. He made us extremely welcome. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Venus and will certainly return.

Very easy to get to and on the local Positano bus line. Gippy was an absolute pleasure and made sure we had all the information we needed each morning. Set on the side of town, B&B Venus had gorgeous views of the water. Breakfast was served every morning with made-to-order cappuccinos and espressos. Gippy gave us plenty of recommendations for things to see/do as well as restaurants to try (none disappointed). The room was very quiet and was cleaned every day. This was a short 10-15 minute walk from the main cathedral and we welcomed the beautiful stroll. Also, Fornillo beach was 10 minutes down steps and was so convenient. This was by far our favorite beach and had all the amenities of the main beach without the crowd (5-6 beach bars with renting loungers). I would 100% recommend this B&B to anyone who stays in Positano!!

The Venus Inn in Positano is a marvelous choice. The owner – Gippy – is a great guy, and super-helpful. The three rooms are large, charming and very pretty without being fancy. Each has its own balcony looking directly out on the Positano coastline,an extraordinary setting and view. Positano is built up a mountain. The B & B is halfway up. You can walk or take a cheap bus, but it is much better to stay there than at the congested and touristy beach and plaza area. At the top of Positano, Gippy’s mother’s house has a single rental room with access to a large garden/patio and great view and, above, a large three-room apartment. We chose to stay in that room although it was bit smaller and simpler than the B & B rooms. It's a locals area with a great trattoria (Cera una volta) a few hundreds yards away, with better food and service than restaurants by the beach, at much less cost. Grocery and fruit stores and an excellent coffee bar are close. Gippy’s mother, Nina, was in the tourist industry and is a wonderful, outgoing lady with lots of helpful tips for travelers. Even if you stay a few days, you will feel like you are leaving good friends. Wifi is available in the public areas and the balconies of both properties, but not in the rooms themselves. Don’t rent a car. The roads are extremely narrow and difficult and parking is expensive. Bus service is excellent and easy. The hike from Positano to Nocelle is particularly spectacular.

From the moment we were met by Gippy, the owner of Venus Inn, when we arrived in Positano by bus, he was a fantastic host, giving us lots of useful tips about the town and day trips along the Amalfi Coast and to the islands. The centre of Positano is an easy, downhill 20-minute walk from the B&B by road, and even quicker by stairs. Great views at breakfast from the terrace down to the sea and up to the nearby peaks. Only a couple of minutes' walk from some decent restaurants if you don't fancy the walk down to the centre.

We found Gippy was as wonderful as others have claimed. He does all in his power to make a stay at his place memorable. From the start, his communication, guidance and care of us was exemplary. He met us upon arrival to assure a great start to our Positano adventure. Gippy has an arrangement with a local car park and that is a help (if parking is needed). Though there were some steps required to get to the Venus, there were far fewer than many of the other Inns we saw during our time in Positano. The Venus is located super well and is quite homey and comfortable. From the Inn, only a short downhill walk delivers you to the main part of Positano town. Along the way are many great restaurants and interesting shops. We enjoyed delicious meals at restaurants Gippy recommended! Gippy is a local and knows Positano like only a local can! We started each day with breathtaking views and a good breakfast on the terrace and ended each night with a bit of wine on the same terrace. My room was terrific and the bed very comfortable. I enjoyed being able to keep the windows open at night to allow in the fresh night air. The bathroom was spotless. Of course it is of typical European design in that it is small but very complete. The shower water pressure was a bit low, but very acceptable. The scenery out my bedroom window was nice - a view of the town and up the mountain side. I highly recommend this B&B and will stay again when next I am in Positano.

Was surprised just how nice this hotel was. It was a great location and the other people staying we're really nice. We each had our own balconies with a view and the owner was great.
