“Exceeded Expectations!”

Note- our stay was off-season and the service may be slightly different during a peak travel time. This hotel far exceeded our expectations! Our partial "ocean view" room was immaculate. Jacuzzi tub, lots of room to lounge, relax, or entertain. Fully stock fridge, hair dryer, large mirrors, ample closet space, beautiful balcony with excellent view of ocean and Positano. The service is even better than the room! Franco (server) and Alex (front desk) were beyond helpful in coordinating transportation, restaurant recommendations, tourist attractions etc. The staff remembered our names, drink orders, meal orders, down to how we took our coffee & tea. They were wonderful, hard workers willing to assist in anyway possible. The hotel is at the TOP of the Positano village and is a nice walk into down, but absolutely back breaking to return to the hotel. Taxi's were expensive, so take the hotel shuttle or local bus for a nominal fee to navigate through down. The only draw-back to this hotel is; if you leave and forget something, it's tough to get back up to Villa Franca. Streets in Positano are only 1 way, so you have to hike back up hills or steps, or travel through entire village (vehicle) to get back to top of the mountain.

“Good for a night but not longer”

Hotel feels like a hostel. The only reason to stay there is if you need quick access to Termini Train Station in the morning.

“Place is UNREAL”

Simply an amazing hotel. The views that you get from the hotel are amazing. The hotel is at the top of the mountain. They do provide a shuttle service if you are worried about walking. The shuttle takes you to the center of town, and its a nice 5 minute walk to the beach from the drop off point. Or if you are daring you can walk the entire way down the mountain from the stairs. The breakfast at the hotel was great!! The pool at the top of the hotel is so relaxing. Being that its the highest hotel on the mountain, you have clear views all around, and nobody looking down on you......its very quiet and relaxing. If I went back to positano I would 100% stay there again.

Area recommendations

Make sure to walk throught the town center. There are plenty of nice shops to buy local food and souveniers.

Getting there

If you feel up to it.......take the bus! Its quite the experience going up the mountains and flying around the turns. Very cool experience.

“SWould choose to stay again”

Very pleased with the accomdation - service was excellent, staff were friendly, the hotel was modern, and immaculate. We booked a double superior room which had an amazing view, was a good size and to our suprise included a spa in the bathroom. The breakfast each morning was very good and we would highly recommend dinner in the restaurant which was the best meal we had during our week stay on the Amalfi Coast. Only issue was having to walk up the hill, but worth it to stay in such a lovely hotel with such good views. We would definitely choose to stay there again.

“We loved Positano!”

We loved the Hotel Villa Franca in Positano. We stayed in a room in the annex and although the room was quite small we were comfortable. The bathroom was large compared to the room and we had a balcony facing the sea and the town below. Prepare yourself for lots of walking and many stairs. It takes a good ten minutes to climb down from the hotel to the town and my knees did hurt after my two days going up and down. It's better to walk on the street because the slopes are not as hard on the knees. The hotel has a bus service down to the town, but it doesn't run 24 hours. Do check the times to make sure you don't miss it. (We did the first day.) Besides that inconvenience, the hotel afforded beautiful views and was away from the bustling noise. Although we didn't have dinner at the hotel, the breakfast was very good. There are several restaurants on the same road and of course the ones down at the beach. It is an expensive little town, but you are on the Amalfi Coast.

“Very convenient location”

Hotel is clean overall and is convenient to everywhere in town. However there are some rooms need to be updated (matresses, bathroom). Still prefer to stay there if I need to stay overnight.

“Staff needs to be replaced”

We stayed at the Hotel Villa Franca for five nights in early April 2010. The accomodations are quite nice, although our room was small and did not have the view that the marketing materials had promised. The hotel provided a convenient shuttle to the retail/beach area that we used quite frequently. We ate breakfast every morning and one dinner in the hotel dining room...the breakfast was good and the dinner was actually one of the best meals we had during our stay. My one complaint is the hotel staff. With the exception of the dining room waitstaff, who were very helpful and courteous, I cannot recall making any other trip where the hotel staff was as rude and unresponsive as the staff at this establishment. Even a request as simple as an AM wakeup call was ignored. Replace the staff and this would be a hotel I could recommend wholeheartedly,

Area recommendations

Positano is beautiful. Also see Sorrento and Pompei and take the boat trip out to Capri while you are enjoying the area. If you go to Pompei, I recommend hiring a guide for that tour to make the best use of your time there.

“Love Positano!”

The hotel was an ideal location near the top of Positano. The reception was very pleasant. Our room was outstanding with a balcony and a gorgeous view of the town and beach area below us. The living area was beautiful, quaint and very comfortable. Even the large bathroom was excellent, clean and very nice. The head waiter in the restaurant was extremely gracious, friendly and helpful! He alone would keep us coming back! The food was excellent and a wonderful dining experience. The only disappointment was the 15 euro parking per day. A minor correction on previous comments is the bus from downtown to the top of Positano in no longer free. It is now 1.5 euro per person and well worth it! Do take the steps going down and enjoy the shops along the way....love it!

Area recommendations

Stay in Positano, rent a car and drive the Amalfi coastline!! Be sure to fold your sideview mirrors in, watch for oncoming objects like cars, buses and bikers in the hub-cap mirrors in the hairpin turns, listen for bus horns and drive like a teenager!

“Great hotel in prime spot in Positano.”

There was a larger room available than what we had booked and we were placed in it. Room lovely with great view from the balcony. Spacious bathroom with robes/slippers. Room very clean. Breakfast was very nice. Service was great. Everyone we came into contact with was wonderful. Parking was conveniently located a short walk from the hotel.

Area recommendations

The Hotel Villa Franca sits perched mid-way along the cliffs of Positano with views both north and south. You have to walk regardless of where you stay in Positano, but its location was pretty central. It was easy to get our car and take day trips to Ravello, Amalfi, etc.

When to go

We went offf season. Many of the hotels were starting to close. Had I known this, I would have probably rearranged my vacation to fo to Positano and the south first (I was in Italy for two months and went there last in the first week of November). It was still beautiful, but we could have used the beaches had it been warmer.

“Wonderful Place”

The hotel is situated on the very top of the hill with unbelievably breathtaking views. Make sure to rent a room with a terrace! If you have strong legs - it is exactly 700 steps down to the beach level, if not - there is a free shuttle bus available. Very friendly staff, good restaurant. I think it is a gem not to be missed.
