HVF is simply amazing. A beautiful hotel with the friendliest staff you can find in Italy. They made our stay even better. We had a beautiful room with unparalleled views over Positano. Staff recommended places and restaurants other than their own Michelin star. They secured reservations all across Amalfi for us, and made sure we were in safe hands. Everyone is fantastic! A huge shootout to Pedro and Lucia at the Gold Rooftop, Gigi, and the valet guys! Simply the best. Now we have to come back to see our HVF family!

The views from the room and rooftop were amazing. The staff was very helpful for anything we needed to make our trip memorable. Having private transportation to and from the beach area saved us a lot of walking up and down the steep hills.

really beautiful hotel but it's at the top of the cliff and not very easy to move around Positano. For the cost of this hotel...the staff could have been more customer oriented.

I expected a lot after being ranked a 5 star hotel as I’ve stayed in many and the experience was top tier. I wouldn’t rate this hotel a 5 star for these reasons. The property is on the highest point of Positano which ideally does give you a great view however walking to the hotel and city center is not by any means easy.. the hotel also doesn’t offer a full day shuttle service where instead they offer it from 8:30AM-12PM at 5:00-8:00PM and 10:00-12:00PM every 30 minutes intervals. So basically if you’re at the beach or stores mid day you’re going to have to climb a dreading 25-30 mins up all the steps in order to get your hotel. They offer a third party porter service at an extra charge which I believe a five star hotel should have their own services to take your suitcases up/down the city center/hotel for their guests. The hotel decor makes you feel like you’re staying in an Airbnb or in someone’s home. You don’t get a Amalfi Coast or Positano vibe from staying here it’s a bit too modern in my opinion. They have a Michelin star restaurant which we have a lot of experience with as well since we have done many chefs tastings, etc. This was by far the worst experience we have a had and every dish that came out was terrible. It’s a 3 dish minimum per person.. and we were hoping we would love it since it was conveniently located in the hotel. Other than these issues the positives are it’s a clean hotel, very welcoming staff, great views, and a roof top pool.

I have a done fair amount of traveling and stayed at some very nice hotels, but after a 4 night stay here, this might have been the BEST overall experience I have had at a hotel in my life. Every single part was on point. First of all, the hotel is gorgeous! The views you get of Positano at the rooftop pool and from our room that had a balcony were breathtaking both during the day and at night. We spent a good amount of time on the rooftop, which is one of the best parts about the hotel especially when the weather is nice. The food and drinks were all delicious. Most importantly, the service was truly exceptional. Every single area of the hotel we went, we were greeted with incredibly kind staff members making sure we had anything we wanted. All of them were amazing, but we spent a lot of time with Gigi and Valeria at the rooftop pool and both were so accommodating and friendly. I could go on and on, but genuinely I could not have expected a better experience staying here and was told by multiple local Italians that this is the best place to stay in Positano. Made sense to us after we stayed here! Highly recommend this hotel and I seriously don't have 1 negative thing to say about it.

Do not spend your money here!

Too expensive. Do not worth it. Very Small room. The guy in front desk was arrogant. Employees entered our room whithout knoking the door! Towels were dirty. Do not spend your money here. Pool and gym opens at 10! Which gym in the world opens at 10?

Villa Franca is perfectly positioned at the top of Positano and has an incredible 360 view of the town. The pool area is nice and makes for a very relaxing day looking at the mountain. We also appreciated the free shuttle down the hill, so we didn't have to walk hundreds of stairs. Other than the pool and shuttle, we were disappointed in the service and our overall experience. There were ants outside of our room, making it impossible to sit outside on our patio without them crawling on our table/chairs, the service at breakfast was really hit or miss (e.g. we didn't get water every day, even though we asked for it multiple times), shower also didn't have a door, which resulted in our whole bathroom floor being flooded with water making it unsafe to walk around and we felt like ONE linen sheet was too hard/uncomfortable. Providing an option for softer sheets would have been nice. When our taxi came to pick us up, the front desk didn't call to tell us that he was here and we really felt like the hotel didn't care about providing a high-level of service. They were more concerned about us committing to have the tasting menu (and paying $220 Euros per person) for that dinner, versus getting the basics right like fixing the spotty internet and bringing us our breakfast quickly (we waited 40 minutes for yogurt). Since the views are nice, I'd recommend going here for a nice lunch, but spend your money on another hotel that is hospitable and has more consistent service.

Amazing. Start to finish. We chose this hotel for our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been more memorable. The staff, service, food (I’ve been sending photos home each day of breakfast), the roof top pool, views and just the beautiful decor and ambience. Monochrome, gold, chic. Exceptional staff. We adored staying here.

Simplesmente incrível! Em uma viagem de 30 dias pela Itália, ficamos em excelentes hotéis, mas esse foi 11/10. Tenho certeza que nossa maravilhosa experiência em Positano, não seria a mesma sem o apoio da equipe e infraestrutura do Hotel. Quarto incrível, grande e confortável e com todos os mimos possíveis e imagináveis, com varanda, jacuzi e vista. Rooftop com piscina, bar , restaurante e vista 360° para toda Positano. O Rooftop é tão destacado, que quando se está na praia de Positano, para as fotos instagramavéis e se olha para cima , é como estar no Rio de Janeiro e ver o Cristo Redentor, tão grande a imponência do Hotel. Serviço de Shuttle torna a experiência de ir e vir fácil e agradável. Decoração moderna e impecável. Café da manhã com vista e chefe a disposição. Restaurante estrelado Michelin. Embora o grande destaque do hotel seja o Staff, sempre atenciosos e prestativos para absolutamente qualquer pedido que você faça. Impossível imaginarmos uma volta a Positano e não nos hospedarmos no Villa Franca.

Amazing view and wonderful food

From the minute, we were welcomed in with a drink to the time that we left they were at our service with anything we needed. They also run a shuttle to the city center every 30 minutes throughout the day, which is very convenient. Of the Michelin star restaurant is in your agenda, plan at least 3 hours for dinner.

Our welcome treats along with a bottle of champagne- we don’t drink champagne and they quickly accommodated us with a red wine instead.

위치,시설,전망,서비스 모두 최고였어요. 포지타노호텔들에대한 기대감이 낮아서인지 직접가보고 너무 좋아서 놀랐습니다. 물론 가격이 비싼호텔이라 당연히 좋아야하지만 기대 이상이었던것같아요. 서비스도 좋았고 조식도 환상적이었어요. 대접받고 온 느낌이라 좋은추억이 되었어요
