Wonderful and kind staff who pay close attention to you and are always there to help you. Amazing views and good food!! The only thing to look out for is the hotel shuttle does not run 12-5 so if you go to lower Positano to shop, eat, beach or boat you will have to walk up a lot of stairs

Great hotel with amazing views of Positano. The shuttle transfer to the town is provided by the hotel but is a bit limited. Very pricey compared to what you get. Loved the stay and loved the vibes. Staff were really helpful.

The staff and overall service at Hotel Villa Franca was top notch! Not to mention, the view from the rooftop pool and restaurant is absolutely incredible : ) The only one complaint we had was that there were multiple times throughout out 4-day stay that the power went out very unexpectedly and without any explanation.

HVF was incredible! The staff was so kind, always anticipating your needs and staying one step ahead of you. The food was excellent, especially LiGalli (Michelin Star restaurant). Breakfast was delicious too. Cocktails and food were more expensive here but worth it for the views. I’m convinced it’s the best location in Positano, perched high above overlooking both beaches but not so far you can’t easily reach shopping and dining. The views are indescribable. Our room was on the 4th floor overlooking the city and ocean. Truly magical. Only downside was we were near the elevator which had a beeping noise and also the rooftop bar was noisy until they closed around midnight. The rooftop pool was excellent for a hot summer day but the umbrellas were heavy and difficult to move to get shade. The bed was comfortable, balcony worth every penny and the bathroom nicely appointed. All in all we loved it and would come back in a heartbeat.
