Villa Franca is not a name known by most, but once you get a glimpse of this incredible retreat, perched high above the picturesque Italian town of Positano, you will most likely remember it forever. Some of you might know that the legendary author John Steinbeck said that Positano is “a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone“, and Villa France seems to be the best place to enjoy it all, the views, the lifestyle, everything.
This luxurious hotel was a private residence some time ago, and we’re more than glad that its owners decided to share this idyllic retreat with us. Filled with Italian elegance and amazing amenities, the chic boutique hotel boasts minimalist guest accommodations that include a balcony overlooking the dramatic coastline and narrow streets of Positano.
Modern conveniences include air conditioning, flat screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi, while Italian marble bathrooms make guests feel lucky they and privileged to be here. Villa Franca also shows off a rooftop swimming pool, that’s the ideal place to socialize and hang out with your friends or family, while savoring breathtaking 360-degree views of the town.
Guests may also make use of the hotel’s ocean-themed spa, a Turkish bath and a well equipped fitness center. If all that physical effort will get you tired and hungry, a choice of gourmet restaurants will take care of the dinning experience. Whether it’s the pool-side Li Galli Grill or the sophisticated Li Galli Restaurant, the dishes served here will get you yearning for more.
