We were referred to the Hotel Villa Franca by friends and it was a fantastic experience. The room, the quaintness, the outstanding breakfast, the rooftop-it was all exceptional and totally worth every penny. The views are the best in Positano. The shuttle service with their van was totally convenient to get to and from the bottom of the hill. Our... More

Spent several days at the Hotel Villa Franca. You couldn't ask for a better location to stay in Positano. The balcony views were breathtaking and the rooms were clean and spacious. There is nothing like the view at Positano. We stayed in the building next to the main building and were very happy with the accommodations. A free courtesy van... More

We just wrapped our tour of Italy with a 3 night stay at Villa Franca & were pleased with our room at this small, boutique hotel. As the reviewer below notated: yes, the owners (an older couple) here seem to be ever present and treat the hotel like a home (with there real home directly below the hotel) where our... More

This was our splurge hotel and wow, was it worth it! And then they gave us an upgrade to a "Superior" room free of charge - and still only 200 euro per night. Great location on the very top of one of Positano's hills. Super breakfast, wonderful staff, terrific view & terrace. Minor quibble - couldn't get our jacuzzi to... More

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Villa Franca in late September / early October in the annex (which is across the road from the main hotel). We had a partial ocean view room. The room was clean and comfortable and had an amazing view of the cascading mountainside and ocean. The service we received, being towards the end of... More

At the time of this writing the Hotel Villa Franca was ranked #21 of 39 hotels in Positano. Wow. If that really is the case, then the 20 hotels ranked better must be unearthly spectacular, because I don’t understand how a hotel in this area could get much better than the Villa Franca. Its commanding views of the entire cove,... More

We just left Villa Franca yesterday and although it was the off season and many things were toned down, like no shuttle to town and limited breakfast options, we still had a very enjoyable stay. The staff were attentive and friendly and the room was pretty with a great view. It's getting a little dated but has lots of atmosphere.... More

We loved it. Everyone was friendly and helpful, the room was clean, we had a fabulous view. The continental breakfast is satisfactory - you can order any additional elements you want (eggs etc). We were staying in the off-season, so suspect the restaurant menu was quite restricted. Eating out offered more variety, but it meant a steep walk down to... More

My wife and I stayed at the Villa Franca for 3 nights in late September.We agree with all the other reviewers about the outstanding views from the pool and dinning room, the excellent breakfast, very friendly stall (we did not experience any staff who was not friendly and helpful), and the beauty of the hotel overall. For us the location... More
