Gippy and his wife were very pleasant and hospitable. They offered us general info about Positano and referred us to two nearby restaurants that he said would give us a 10% discount if we said "Gippy sent us".....and they did. The weather was very cool and windy, so we appreciated those handy referrals which were a short walk away and... More

Venus Inn maybe doesn't has the perfect view of Positano but it surely has the perfect manager and the perfect friend: Gippy... Positano is place with full of surprises and if you don't want to lose yourself in these surprises, you surely should find this guy. It's so important in Positano that where you're staying. And Venus Inn is a... More

Going to Positano and staying at the Residence Venus-Inn was the highlight of our Italian adventure. And "hats off" to Gippy. He welcomed us with his warm and wonderful Italian hospitality and even spoke some English, which made us feel right at home. Our room was neat and clean; our balcony overlooked Positano. We enjoyed several meals on the balcony.... More

A traveller's worst nightmare: we arrived in Positano only to discover that the owner, Gippy, had given away our room to another couple that had turned up earlier in the day without a confirmed booking (they'd apparently emailed him to arrange their stay but had never provided credit card details to complete the booking). He apologised, but his initial explanation... More

I think they had a big misundertanding since when they arrived. It's true I had an overbooking ( I'm sorry, it's happened) So I offered them , at the same price , a more expensive accomodation for all their stay allowing them to choise. I knew they were disappointed since when they asked me the first night for free. With... More

We booked Venus Inn for the first week of our holiday and anniversary celebration based on Tripadvisor reviews and we weren't disappointed. Gippy the owner was waiting for us and after showing us our room he gave us some great tips on getting food in the town. The room was clean, tidy and with an en suite bathroom. The week... More

My fiancée and I had a brilliant time in the Venus Inn. We saw the brilliant reviews on Trip advisor so decided to go with this one. We stayed for 6 nights, one of which was spent at our friends' wedding in Positano. Nothing was too much trouble for the charismatic owner, Gippy, both before and during our trip. Our... More

Venus Inn is a very good reason why to return to Positano! We spent only 2 days in Venus Inn but surely we will return! The B&B is centrally located still silent as it is not on the main road, the rooms are spacious and clean, all with balcony and the view is amazing! Not to mention the owner whose... More

The owner of this B&B was extremely helpful and friendly, at the same time not invading our privacy. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the location was wonderful - walking distance to the beach and town. We highly recommend Venus Inn to anyone visiting lovely Positano! More

Me and my wife recently stayed at the Venus Inn in Positano and it was the highlight of our trip to Italy. The room was clean and had excellent views of the Sea and the town of Positano. The location is about a 10 minute walk to the center of the town and main beach with several stores and reasturants... More

We arrived at Positano by ferry from Salerno, after a train ride from Chiusi in Tuscany. From the port, we needed some help with directions, but the trick is to walk against the traffic for about 15 minutes, up the steep snaking road (Viale Pasitea). Via Fornillo is on the left. It is a walkway, not a road with vehicle... More
