Location: Far from the crowded ferry bank and main beach, this B&B allowed us to truly relax & take in Positano. It’s closer to the Fornillo beach which is less crowded... highly recommend. Take the Interno bus from Piazza Di Mulini (church) and get off at Grotto di Fornillo stop and it’s just few more steps to the B&B. You’ll get the hang of it after 1-2 times!
Room: The rooms were very pretty, clean, and felt like a home. Gippy takes care of it himself with the beautiful JJ. We were a family of 4 and booked the room that had a queen bed downstairs and another upstairs. There was a private terrace with table for 4 with our room.
Breakfast: You’ll meet Gippy, our favorite person with a warm smile great sense of humor ready with friendly conversations every morning at b’fast. You’ll also meet beautiful JJ, who helps Gippy. They have a common bigger terrace area which was used for a delicious and filling breakfast and beautiful views and flowers. It’s not food just lying there in a buffet. They personally bring it out to your table on trays and make fresh coffee or anything else you’d like. My kids have food allergies and Gippy made sure everything was safe for them to enjoy.
We miss you Gippy, we loved your personal attention to our family’s needs, from the day we booked to the day we left… and even afterwards when we checked whether our onward journey from Positano was smooth. We hope anyone reading this will book Venus B&B.

Would stay here over and over again! Giuseppe is amazing, so helpful and made our visit to Positano stress free. The view from our terrace was amazing, room was comfortable, and if I could give more than 5 stars for service I would. Thank you so much!

Lovely b&b option in Positano away from the crowds

Nice b&b on the hill with only a few rooms so you really feel private and taken care of. The owner Gippy made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth check in due to our uncertainty regarding our arrival & plans. The breakfast was wonderful and felt even more lovely in the beautiful location. The room had the partial sea view as promised and also great view on the city/mountainside. It was a hike for sure getting there but there are several nice restaurants close by so no need to go downhill to eat if not in the mood. Shower water never got warm but it was ok with it being summertime in Aug. Really appreciated the personal, homey feel of this property and small details down to the plants on the balcony.

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!

Fantastic Location, View and Value

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!

Great cheap and cheerful option in Positano

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.

Fantastic price in a convenient location

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!!

Charming, great owner, spectacular view, a bargain

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.

Comfortable B&B with classic Amalfi Coast views

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.

Great location

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.

Gippy and the Venus B&B are that good

I have been a gold member on hotels.com for many years and have never left a review - I have strong opinions about the service industry and frankly typically feel like a great quality stay had more to do with someone doing there job then going the proverbial extra mile.

Gippy and the Venus B&B clearly demonstrates the difference between doing a job and caring about others experience - nothing more can be said about Positano nor the Amalfi coast - haven't been? GO and stay at the Venus B&B

The location is terrific - excellent breakfast and you must meet Gippy - somehow he located us having dinner and stopped by to personally introduce himself and to spend some time with us. I travel to this region twice a year and I will be back - fantastic - fantastic - fantastic
