Hey from Giuseppe

Member since August 2005 | 161,606 hits

I am a guy with experience in tourism and the son of a tour guide.

I am the manager but also the owner of this B&B and so I enjoy taking care of the house and the customers.

I'm open and available, I speak 5 languages and I enjoy meeting people.

I like to be considered a "friend in Positano" and I try to be, as with my suggestions and tourist arrangements with caterers, parking attendants and organizers of trips, leaving any advantage to my clients.

I like nature, travel, sports and anything you can do outdoors.

Fans of Valentino Rossi and Ferrari, like a true Italian while I'm less interested in football though I have my favorite team.

I'll wait for you to spend a great holiday in one of the most special places in the world
Greetings to All
Gippy.

Gippy is an amazing host, very welcoming. He also speaks French! The B&B is well located (of course, this is Positano, so expect going up and down the stairs). The room was very charming. Excellent breakfast on the terrace. I highly recommend. Going back to Positano, I would stay at Gippy's without hesitation.

Highly recommend Gippy's BNB to anyone traveling to Positano. It was in a great location with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Gippy was such a great host and provided so many great recommendations during our stay. The rooms were very spacious and the views from the terrace are unbelievable. I honestly think that the rooms and views are even better in person than in the pictures! The breakfast was also amazing with fresh fruit, juices, coffee, pastries, and more! Overall, could not have asked for a better place!

I'm so happy you had wonderfull time, that's the my objective...to leave a nice experience to all of my guests. I'm very agree with you, my photos don't do the job, I'm much better as host than photographer; -) : -).

deborah

Comfortable bed and breakfast in Positano. Host is very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are typical European... older and small but the room was very spacious and you can’t beat the patio and view! Breakfast was the best we had during our trip!

stayed from 06/09/2025 to 06/11/2025

The answer from the host:
Thank you Deborah for confirming the quality of our breakfast. I reveal to you that for next winter I plan to enlarge the bathroom. I always take inspiration from useful customer feedback to improve. It was a pleasure to welcome you, I hope to see you again

hiba

B&B Venus Inn was the highlight of my trip to Positano! Gippy and his family were incredibly warm, helpful, and genuinely caring. They made me feel right at home and gave amazing recommendations that made exploring Positano so easy and enjoyable.\n\nThe room was spotless, the view was stunning, and breakfast on the terrace was a perfect start to each day. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay—can’t wait to come back!

stayed from 05/31/2025 to 06/02/2025

The answer from the host:
Hi Hiba, it was our pleasure to welcome you! Now you are part of the VENUS Inn family and you are always welcome

chelsea

Our stay with Gippy at the Venus Inn was nothing but SPECTACULAR and PERFECT. We felt like family by the time we left. Gippy truly cares about his guests, and provides a magical setting to both unwind but also get out and enjoy Positano. The location of the villa is perfect, about a 10 minute walk down to the water. It is right off the main road and very accessible. The view is so beautiful. Breakfast was superb and generous. Lastly, the price was absolutely unmatched and SUCH a great value compared to everything else in Positano considering how fantastic everything is about this property. Great restaurants nearby. We will be here again in the future!

stayed from 09/23/2024 to 09/27/2024

The answer from the host:
Hi Chelsea, what can I say!!! I'm really happy to have met you and that you have grasped most of the values of the VENUS Inn!!! You are always welcome and I really hope to see you again

catherine

We had a wonderful time at Giuseppe’s bed and breakfast. His property has a wonderful view of Positano. Breakfast was included. He was very friendly and gave very good tips on what to explore. Eugenia was also very kind. Such a great property to relax and very close to the beach.

stayed from 08/31/2024 to 09/03/2024

The answer from the host:
Hi Catherine, We had big pleasure to have your nice company and we are happy you had great time enjoing your holiday . You are always welcome at the VENUS Inn Positano

nadia

This was by far the best place we stayed in Italy and we had the pleasure of staying here for 3 nights; I wish we could have stayed longer. The location of this bed and breakfast as it relates to everywhere else in Positano is so perfect; it is in a quieter spot down the street from some wonderful restaurants and shops, and within a 10-15 minute walk to the main drag where the hustle and bustle is a little wild! Our host, Gippy, as well as Eugenia, could not have been any more accommodating, kind, or welcoming to the B&B and to their beautiful city. Every morning, the tables were set with the most scrumptious European breakfast you could ask for - whole fresh fruits, yogurts, meats and cheeses, multiple types of homemade bread, Nutella, jellies, butter, hard-boiled eggs, coffee, cappuccino, Americano, espresso, and juices, among other items! It is so picturesque up on the terrace with some of the best views of the sea, boats and cliffside homes and shops. Gippy also had amazing recommendations for where to eat and shop, and we took his advice each time and had fantastic experiences. And he is so fun, and so energetic, lively and keeps you happy! Best host ever! Also, Eugenia is an artist when it comes to cleanliness and organization of the room and her breakfast service. I have never had someone organize my messy things and was just so grateful to come back to such a nice, clean room after a long day! Gippy also allowed us to use some beach towels for a day trip we took to Capri so that was lovely. I cannot say enough positive things about this place; I want to come back, tomorrow, next year, next lifetime, and do it all over again!

stayed from 09/18/2024 to 09/21/2024

The answer from the host:
Thanks Nadia...What can I tell you!!! You wrote so many nice things!!! I tell you that we missed you very much and your departure was very sad!!! Beautiful memories remain of our laughter and chats. We can't wait to see you again We send you a big hug

venus

The room was comfortably spacious. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The balcony was perfect for evening relaxation. The whole visit was peaceful. Breakfast on the balcony was the best. The food, the atmosphere, our host Gippy was friendly and helped us feel relaxed and like old friends. If ever I come back to Positano, I will stay here. It was a beautiful, relaxing, peaceful stay. I wish I could have stayed longer.

stayed from 09/22/2024 to 09/23/2024

The answer from the host:
Hi Venus , by your name we could only have nice feeling :-) and I want reply you only saying how I was sad when all of you left , like my good friends also if we met for only 1 day !!! :-( Really hope to meet you again and wishing you all the Best .

celia

We enjoyed our stay at the B&B Venus-Inn Residence and cannot fault one thing about this B&B at all! It is perfectly located off the road so the steps (and there are many in Positano) are minimal compared to other hotels we saw. Gippy was a perfect host providing us lots of local information and shortcuts (again, to avoid as many stairs as possible) and was such a happy face to see in the morning over breakfast - even adding Vegemite to our breakfast as a special touch for us Aussies! The view is stunning, the restaurants only a few minutes away are simply delicious (we went to Saraceno d'Oro every night - beautiful food). Highly recommend.

stayed from 08/31/2024 to 09/04/2024

The answer from the host:
As I wrote on my website " I'm your friend in Positano " and so my guests have to feel at home !!! I'm happy you did !! :-) Thanks for your recommendation ...Waiting for all Aussies !!! :-)

savannah

Venus Inn was our favorite stay of our entire 16-day Europe trip! The room was spacious, clean, and cool. It had the most incredible view from the large balcony. It was very reasonably priced compared to the other places to stay in the area, and it had great access to delicious restaurants and both beaches in Positano. The staff was so hospitable and kind, and the breakfast each morning was yummy and filling! Thank you so much to the host, Gippy, for such a wonderful place to stay in one of the most beautiful places!

stayed from 08/06/2024 to 08/08/2024

The answer from the host:
Thanks to you for choosing me and your preference !!! My satisfaction is to make you have a nice holiday in a splendid place giving you the best advice and help from the first contact to make everything easier for you ;-) A big hug Gippy

anne

I love this place. Everyone is very nice. The breakfast is amazing. It is very clean and easy to get around. The beach is close by and the main town is close by. I highly recommend. Would love to come and stay at B&B Venus-Inn Residence again.

I love my job, meeting many people and leaving a nice memory.... everything else is a consequence !!! :-) :-) :-)

sara

We had the best stay at B&B Venus-Inn Residence! The property is amazing with lovely balconies. Fornillo beach is just 6-7 minutes walk downhill and it’s so pretty and quieter than Spiaggia Grande. There are plenty of restaurants around and the port is easy to get to (15 minutes walk). The wifi was pretty good and breakfast was fantastic! Plenty of food and coffee offered on the gorgeous balcony! The hosts are so attentive and kind. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend the place to all our friends coming to Positano! :)

stayed from 07/29/2024 to 08/01/2024

Felicissimo di avervi conosciuto e avervi fatto trascorrere un soggiorno meraviglioso!!! Spero rincontrarvi ancora e presto . Un forte abbraccio Gippy

We enjoyed our stay. Very nice location. Gippy was very friendly and helpful with recommendations and questions that we had. Definitely will come back to this B&B on our next return to Positano.

stayed from 07/08/2024 to 07/12/2024

The answer from the host:
Ciao Patrizia , è stato un piacere accogliervi e una soddisfazione lasciarvi un bel ricordo della vostra esperienza al VENUS in . Spero anche io di rivederVi ancora !!

dominick

This was an unbelievable experience. The owner was there every morning to greet you and give you whatever you need for breakfast. Eating breakfast on the balcony overlooking Positano was amazing. A must stay if you ever come to Positano. I will definitely be back. Thank you for everything.

stayed from 07/11/2024 to 07/14/2024

The answer from the host:
Thank you Dominick, you will be welcomed back with the same warmth and passion!!!

ana

We could not have been happier with the care and quality of the B&B Venus-Inn Residence! We felt so comfortable and cared for by everyone there! The breakfast was so yummy and fresh, and with that view from the terrace... it was beautiful and so peaceful! I highly recommend the Venus inn and would love to come back to Positano and stay here! (And I loved our location because there were stairs down to the beach near us, but we could walk up the normal path instead of having to walk back up stairs to the B&B!)

stayed from 06/18/2024 to 06/21/2024

The answer from the host:
Next time if you come in September I will also let you taste other fruit from my garden, especially the fresh figs... Yummy yummy!!!!

The answer from the host:
The best part of my job is meeting people and leaving them with an incredible memory. I hope I have achieved my success with you too !!! :-)

ashley

Absolutely breathtaking property. It contains a garden that has been there for decades and a gorgeous villa. Our stay would not have been as incredible if it wasn't at B&B Venus-Inn Residence. We are so grateful and I would absolutely book here again. Gippy was an incredible host, he helped us with logistics and getting around the city. He also helped me track down a dress coat for a virtual interview I had while there. Thank you for the incredible memories on our honeymoon.

stayed from 07/17/2023 to 07/22/2023

The answer from the host:
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the dress helped you get the job: -) : -) It was a great pleasure to welcome you and chat with you Congratulations again for your wedding !

Gippy was the best host! We felt so welcomed and he was such a helpful guide to us, especially since we had been affected by travel strikes etc. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone who plans to go to Positano.

Gippy is a great host. Already upon our arrival, he warmly welcomed us at the small cave along the road and carried our suitcases down the stairs to his small B&B. Afterwards, he was always available for questions and information or inquired if he could help us in any way. We felt very comfortable in our bright and friendly room from the beginning. The view from the accommodation of Positano and the sea is beautiful. We were very sorry to have to leave after 4 days.

Gippy is one of the best hosts I ever met, he has a big heart and gives his best to make one's stay comfortable and delightful. The view from the terrace is wonderful, the breakfast is very good, including cheese, ham, and orange juice. We liked that our room/apartment was spacious, and enjoyed sitting on our private terrace in the evening. Venus-Inn Residence is in a more quiet part of Positano, which is nice, but still close to the center and the Fornillo Beach. Gippy gave helpful tips regarding restaurants and traveling around, and he even organized a taxi-shuttle from Naples for us. We stayed for one week, and had a great holiday. Thank you Gippy.

Our host Gippy was amazing and couldn’t be more helpful! He gave us lots of information on where to go and how to get there, also tips for restaurants. I had an incident where the airline lost my bag for 3 days and Gippy was amazing at facilitating the delivery for me. Loved this property and loved Gippy.
