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.

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

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.

The entire staff was very helpful and willing to assist in every way from directions, accommodations, services, area and regional information. Dining and service was excellent, as well as the wine and cocktails provided. I would suggest this establishment as one of the top ones in Positano!
