Excellent staff - friendly and very helpful. First class breakfast and the room was perfect. The staff allowed the golf cart driver to fetch me from town when required, out of the hours stated, which was much appreciated.

    “I recently stayed two nights at Hotel Villa Franca and was very impressed with the property. We were upgraded to a sea view room and enjoyed stunning views of Positano bay from our room as well as from the breakfast room. The hotel is very modern and clean, with a stunning rooftop pool area. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly & the concierge are easily reachable by WhatsApp. The hotel is further up the hill in Positano however the free golf buggy shuttle is always available for pick-up & drop-off close to the centre. We dined at Li Galli restaurant in the hotel and I would really recommend this memorable dining experience if you get the chance to try it.”

  • Best client experience ever!
