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.

This property has the most beautiful views from its rooms and the rooftop pool and bar is amazing. The staffs professionalism is top tier. Only thing to watch out for is this indoor restaurant. The food was not great at all, especially for the price we paid. We had to go to another restaurant afterwards to grab a bite and even ran into other guests from our hotel who also weren’t pleased with the food.

There is not a bad view from this hotel- we had an absolute amazing time: superior service, incredible views, amazing food... this will definitely be a vacation we will never forget and the biggest reason is because we chose to stay at the Hotel Villa Franca. It was expensive but worth every penny and we would stay again in a heart beat. This was not expected but breakfast, mini bar and shuttle via golf cart around was included.

It is a stunning, perfect property overlooking the entirety of Positano. There is nothing not to love! The amenities of the rooftop pool, numerous restaurants, floor-to-ceiling windows in the common areas - the friendliness and professionalism of the staff - it was an 11/10. The secret yet not so secret best part? The golf cart brings you down to the town's main center, saving hours, sweat, and exhaustion. That was a game changer, none of our friends' hotels had that option, and it was our favorite part! The rooms were pristine, the views breathtaking, and the bonus of nightly turn-down service was perfect. The breakfast was enough and kept you full for many hours while exploring. The only negative I found was that the bathroom was dimly lit, making it very difficult to do your makeup. They need to add a makeup mirror and then it'll be the full package! But if that's my only complaint...its nothing.
