Hotel Villa Franca

With sweeping views across the Bay of Naples, this is one of the most romantic hotels in Positano.
Perched on a hillside with incredible views across the Bay of Naples, this former private home is renowned as one of the most opulent dwellings in Positano. With its large windows and white walls, the hotel has a light and airy feel, inviting you to kick off your shoes and relax. Head to the large rooftop pool and terrace to make the most of the dramatic and spellbinding 360-degree views of the Amalfi Coast. For a change of scenery, a free shuttle leaves during the day for the centre of Positano. For some sheer indulgence, treat yourself to an invigorating massage at the spa or relax in a Turkish bath and take a hamman.

When it comes to dining, enjoy some mouth-watering cuisine at Restaurant Li Galli where chefs use only the freshest locally produced ingredients to create traditional Mediterranean dishes. Complement your dinner with a glass of wine chosen from the extensive collection in the cellar.

The rooms are elegant and refined, each with a small balcony and light and airy décor. Classic Rooms have views over the lanes of Positano while Superior Rooms and Deluxe Rooms overlook both the bay and the town. Studio Suites and Junior Suites are more spacious, with inviting living areas and decadent Italian marble bathrooms.
