My wife and I recently chose the Venus Inn for our four day stay in Positano. We found the property very lovely, and the owner Gippy wonderful. He helped arrange for a private car to pick us up at the Naples airport, then he was there to meet us when we were dropped off above his property. He carried our... More

I've stayed here a couple of times, most recently as part of my honeymoon in June. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Positano. Fantastic value for money and Gippy is just the best! He goes out of his way to do everything he possibly can for every guest, his passion for what he does is very obvious and his smile... More

Although you can't control the weather, it rained on our first day arriving in Positano (the first time it rained in 3 months!). Weather aside, our stay at the Venus Inn was fantastic. While the first night we were in an extra room that was a little odd, this was because Gippy was allowing us to stay in the room... More

My wife and I stayed at the Venus Inn for 3 nights as part of an anniversary trip. The room was clean and comfortable. The view and location were excellent.

We stayed at the Venus Inn for 4 nights and really loved our stay. The location of the Venus Inn is excellent- it has a water view as well as a (somewhat more interesting) view of the town where you want look at the amazing landscape of Positano, and is on the less touristy and less expensive side of town....

My wife and I had the opportunity to stay at the Venus Inn for nine days in late May this year. Gippy was a wonderful host who was very pleasant and offered excellent restaurant choices and 10% discounts if we mentioned "Gippy sent us". The Mediteraneo restaurant was particularily good. Try the Risotto, best I ever tasted! The Venus Inn... More

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.
