“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.
“fabulous-would go back in a minute”
Loved the view from the top of the world. The drivers and everyone were very efficent.
“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.
“Lovely Positano!”
A wonderful hotel in a lovely town. Lovely staff, great service, wonderful breakfast and great restaurant. The rooms with balconies and the swimming pool have simply stunning views. I would recommend this to anyone, and it was an extremely romantic place to honeymoon!
“Excellent place to stay”
Great location with a beautiful view. Breakfast was great. The pool is wonderful (few hotels have one). Can't wait to go back.
“Great Hotel with an Incredible view!”
Probably one of the most beautiful, traveler friendly hotel we have stayed in during our trips to Italy. The hotel staff bent over backwards time and time again to insure our stay was perfect. While the hotel room was VERY small, the view from our balcony compensated for the roon size. The location of the hotel was about halfway up the road down to the village and the sea. That presented the challenge of a significant stair climb although the loop bus in Positano is a great help after a few trips in the same day. The breakfast and food in the hotel was also exceptional.
“By far the most charming 4 star hotel in Positano.”
While this hotel is at the top of the hill, there's a shuttle service that runs every 30 minutes. But the walk is just fine. Everyone there could not be nicer. Front desk folks, bartenders, restaurant folks--all were friendly and always so helpful. Hotel is clean and I really love the tile floors. The pool is great and its view overlooking Positano and the Amalfi Coast is just breathtaking. I'd recommend the hotel to anyone and will certainly stay there again.
“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.
“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.
“Great Hotel with great view”
Lovely hotel. Has a shuttle into town but we used the steps. Only downside of our room was it was near the fitness centre and was quite noisy early on with people moving around - assume probably staff getting it ready for the day. The breakfast buffet was amazing and the staff lovely and very helpful. The hotel has an amazing setting and from the roof top pool you can see almost all of Positano.
