This hotel undoubtedly has one of the most spectacular locations in Positano and our room had breathtaking views out to sea. The room itself was tastefully decorated but on the small side which, when you see Positano, isn't surprising. The hotel staff were friendly and attentive. The hotel restaurant has a very high standard of cuisine but there are also... more

Can't comment on price of the hotel this was a wedding gift for our Honeymoon, but the views are awesome and the hotel and staff very nice! Positano is very pricey so you need to suspend some thoughts about cost/value if you stay there. As noted by others this hotel is high up in town which some Brits we talked... more

Recently stayed at the Villa Franca and have to give it mixed reviews. We stayed in the Annex since the main building was sold out. Our room was 260 Euros and was billed as a partial town/partial water view. We were disappointed to find that the only way to see the water was to stand on the far left side... more

My husband and I stayed at Villa Franca to round out our incredible vacation in Italy. Guide books (Karen Brown and Frommer's) recommended it as well as friends. The pictures looked amazing and since you're paying around $360 to stay there, you have reasonable, but good expectations. My honest opinion is that it really is not worth it. My number... more

My wife and I stayed here for the first 9 nights of our honeymoon, and chose the hotel based on it's reviews, the location (unbelievable views) and the fact it's one of the few hotels to have a pool and gym in Positano. We were not disappointed! The staff were always charming and willing to offer advice on ways to... more

We discovered this hotel back in 2003 and stayed here three years on the run, I just cannot get enough, I would keep going back if there was not so many other place to go. Small and friendly. Located at the very top of Positano, no better place to be The rooms are a bit chabby chic, the roof top... more

Great location! Good staff. Beautiful rooms, but tiny.Gouge-y pricing. 9 euro for a Jack Daniel's! 5 euro for a beer! All of Positano is overpriced by 20%, but still, these prices are hard to justify. Easily rectified, just go across the street to the small market. Water is 60 cents, wine good and reasonable, nice little deli. Say "ciao" to... more

This is a very comfortable, well-located hotel in the upper reaches of Positano. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. The view is spectacular. The location means that individuals with any mobility limitations or weak cardiovascular systems should be wary of the location(but that warning holds true for al of Positano). It's... more

We booked the Villa Franca for a week as part of our honeymoon in June 2006. Though the hotel is pretty enough and the views are great (as they are from many local hotels) we were kept awake by noise. It was so bad, in fact, that we could literally hear every word of conversations in the room next door.... more
