This was our favorite hotel during our two week trip through Italy. Our room on the top floor had a balcony with a stunning view overlooking Positano, and the sunrises over the hills were spectacular. The bed and room were very comfortable, and we enjoyed the large tub and shower (after feeling cramped in some other hotels). The staff throughout... More

I would certainly recommend this hotel. It has great views and the class is evident as soon as you enter. It also has a wellness centre where you can be pampered if you would like to. There is also a restaurant there, however we didn't have a chance to try it out. We had a room with the sea view... More

Me and my girlfriend stayed for our anniversary engagement. Unfortunately the weather was awful but thanks to the beautiful hotel we had relax and we enjoyed our short holiday. We tried both the SPA and the excellent restaurant and everything was wonderful. We booked our holiday taking advantage of a special offer but we realized that, even without the offer,... More

We stayed at the very end of several weeks in Italy and it was the perfect way to cap our visit. We stayed on the second floor, in an upgraded room, with a balcony facing the Mediterranean. The sun just poured in! Breakfasts and service were very good, and the ambiance was elegant. We recommend this hotel. More

PROS - We were upgraded to a balcony room. The room was quite luxurious ( 4 poster bed with white filmy curtains) although not large but the view was absolutely gorgeous overlooking the ocean and the town. - Breakfast was in the main restaurant and had an extremely wide selection of food including cereal, pastries and fruit. The view from... More

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon, having been recommended it by colleagues who return regularly. I can understand why! The hotel itself felt very smart without being stuffy. We found all the staff really helpful. We avoided eating in the hotel most nights, as we wanted to soak up the atmosphere of Positano. However, we "splashed out" one... More

Best way to start the review is by saying that our reaction on entering our room was WOW. The view is incredible. From your bed it would seem like there was nothing beneath you except the med and beautiful cliffs. The room itself was quite small (47), but the bed was quite big and thats what counts. The bathroom had... More

After many many days reading hotel reviews we decided to stay at Villa Franca. I am so happy we made this selection. The hotel is small but very nice. The common areas are great, perfect place to relax before going up to our room. The view is amazing, we had an Ocean view room and will recommend it to everyone.... More

Loved our stay at Villa Franca. We were upgraded to an ocean view room as we were there in the off-season and hotel was not full. Room had a balcony with a spectacular view. Jacuzzi in the bathroom was really nice after long day of walking around. Noticed a few imperfections (some of the grouting in the bathroom could have... More

Overall our 1 week stay at Villa Franca was great. Stayed there February 22-29. Great time to visit as there was very few tourist in town and throughout the Almalfi Coast. Downside is, most of the shops and restaurants are closed during this time. Weather was great, sunny every day and around 15 C in the day and 8 c... More
