First of all, let me start this review by saying that I read some of the other reviews that have been posted prior to this one and there are a couple things that have me totally stumped: 1. People complaining about the fact that this hotel is located on a hillside and that they have to WALK up steep pathways... More

This is a modest sized, not quite luxury hotel in a great location. I say not quite luxury because it lacked some services a luxury hotel might have, like onsite parking, a large elevator, larger staff, etc. The hotel is beautifully decorated and appointed, with a distinctive blue and white tile motif. The lobby area, restaurant and rooftop pool take... More

Stayed in Positano at the Villa Franca for 5 nights. It was excellent. So nice to see a hotel that does exactly what it says on the tin. This is a 4 star hotel. Not a 3 star that is pretending – it’s a real, quality 4 star hotel for those visiting Positano who don’t want to pay the ridiculous... More

When I was traveling to Italy, I was told to stay at Le Sirenuse. I booked Le Sirenuse, but boy is it pricey. We could only stay 2 nights at that price, so my travel agent talked me into changing to Hotel Villa Franca. She said it's "basically the sam hotel as Le Sirenuse but for a lot less money".... More

We stayed at Hotel Villa Franca for our wedding in Positano. On arrival at the hotel, we were shown to our room which was breathtaking I have to say - incredible views of the town, beach and sea. The room was large with a good size balcony and a lot of plush amenities in the room. We couldn't fault the... More

It is a hotel with good room excellent restaurant, yet you have to walk 15 minutes to the beach / city center. They have a van driving you. It was not an issue for me but if you like to be in the middle of everything you will miss that here. I will come back. Highly recommended.

Hotel Villa Franca Wow – what a gem! This hotel was fabulous – we loved everything about it. My husband and I were in Positano for four nights in April and had a Double Deluxe room with a balcony. We could not be more pleased with our stay there. We fell in love with Positano, this hotel, and Southern Italy... More

Positano lived up to all the reviews! Fabulous food, fabulous people and breathtaking views! The hotel was a pleasure- our room had an incredible view, was beautifully furnished, and the public areas, dining and lobby were lovely as well. We enjoyed our breakfast every morning with the open air dining area and the service and food was an added treat.... More

It's not often that when you arrive at your hotel that the actual view is better than the brochures! Well at Villa Franca Positano it certainly out did any brochures we had seen looking out over the Almalfi Coast. The room was well appointed and included a magnificent breakfast. It's positioned above the main square so be prepared for lots... More

Nicely appointed hotel, comfortable room with beautiful views. Nice lobby to relax in and have a drink. The hotel was a bit high up in Positano - which means lots of steps coming and going. The shuttle bus wasn't available while we were there in mid-April - which was a disappointment. I saw others write about breakfast / eggs cooked... More
