Villa Franca Review

This delightful family-run hotel overlooking the sea is one of Positano's lesser-known, distinctive hotels. The common areas are decorated with reproduction artwork and fine tiles to evoke a neoclassical feeling. The motif continues in the elegant, comfortable guest rooms, all of which are decorated in Mediterranean style, with bright artistic tiled floors and bathrooms; private balconies overlook the sea. The roof terrace has a 360-degree view over the town and a swimming pool with a solarium. An additional 10 rooms are in the less-inspired annex (the cheaper "standard" rooms are likely to be here; inquire when you book). The hotel's restaurant serves good food in a romantic setting. Another nice feature is the free shuttle bus to the center of Positano.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; concierge; health club; pool; room service; spa

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
