We loved this hotel-the rooms were clean and bright-not huge but very comfortable. Our balcony overlooked the ocean-great location and wonderful service. Highly recommend!

Great small boutique hotel. Clean, scent enhanced, friendly service, very accommodating and the views are absolutely beautiful. I could NOT have been more pleased with this choice.
The ONLY negative is smoking is allowed on the balconies of the rooms and we know how that can be, not all guests are considerate so they should just make it a no smoking property.response / report this review -

Amazing service and location (on top of the world). Relax at the pool or enjoy great food at their resturant. Or just soak in breath taking views.
Rooms have everything you might need and the beds are comfy. Will visit again.response / report this review -

This is a beautiful hotel, located nearest the top of the village of Positano. The rooms were pristine clean and everything was very modern looking. They have recently redesigned the place I believe as the hotel looked different than the website (more upscale/modern). It's close to many restaurants and it's an easy walk down hill to get to the centre; however quite an exercise to get back up. It's key to book the shuttle. They have a pool at the top which was lovely as well. Overall loved the experience, however it was pricey in regards to their restaurant. Wasn't sure that the menu was worth it vs. going to other local restaurants (personal preference)! But totally recommend staying here and I will definitely stay here if I ever come back!

Villa Franca was perfect for our honeymoon! It's a little higher priced, but this was our splurge for hotels since our other locations would be cheaper than Positano. Rooms were beautiful, clean, and good size for Europe. The service was fantastic! They brought champagne and pastries up to our room on arrival. They helped with everything from making dinner reservations, exchanging currency, booking day trips and things to dothey really are great. Breakfast is good too. A good selection of traditional 'american' breakfast and Italian breakfast. Only thing I will say is don't stay here if you can't walk far. They do have a free shuttle that takes you about half way down to the beach, and not a bad walk from there. But there are 640 steps from beach to hotel. I personally enjoyed all the steps as it gave me an added workout. Overall, I can't recommend Villa Franca enough, and would love to come back.

Amazing hotel, the views all around hotel are breathtaking the only slight draw back and the reason the hotel didn't get 5* is the noise. As the hotel is kinda small the noise can be heard in the room. Otherwise beautiful hotel for a honeymoon! Staff friendly and helpful.

My husband and I just got back from Positano and we had the most terrible experience with Villa Franca. The hotel was recommended to us by a friend, so we made no research and just booked a room. The first night we went out for dinner and when we got back to the room (room 25) around 9.30 pm, the dog was barking outside. It was so loud, so my husband went to the reception to ask for a solution. The manager told us it is neighbours dog, it stays outside all night, but the barking should stop soon. We trusted the manager and tried to get back to sleep. The dog never stopped barking. At 2 am., with no sleep at all, my husband made another attempt and called reception. They told us that they had complains before, the neighbour does nothing to help and there is nothing they can do about dog barking all night, but to move us to another room one floor up, which doesn’t solve the noise issue. We have made a note that if there will be no solution, we will be checking out in the morning.
After sleepless night we realised the Hotel won’t do anything to solve an issue and we can’t have another 2 nights with no sleep and dog barking. I am 7 months pregnant and it is our last vacation before the baby arrives, so we were looking forward quiet nights listenning to the water, not a barking dog.
The next morning, the hotel manager was not only rude, he lied about the whole issue and refused to refund us the last two nights that we were not planning to spend in the hotel. We only spent 28 hours in Filla Franca and were charged for the whole stay.
When we got back to London, my husband made last attempt and emailed manager of the Hotel explaining the problem and asking for a refund for 2 nights that we never spent in the hotel. The staff of the hotel knew that there is a noise issue from the very beginning, but still provide their guests with no solution, knowing that in case of moving out they will charge for a full stay. Needless to say, the manager’s respond was rude and untruthful.
I have recorded the noise on my phone with fully closed door and curtain and will be uploading it on varies websites. I really hope this review will help other guests not to be cought in the same situation.
We spent last 2 nights of our stay in Positano in hotel Sirenuse and were very happy with entire experience.
