Villa Franca

Beaches, boutique luxury and breathtaking views from the heart of Positano

With an enviable spot amid Positano’s old streets, yet moments from the shore, Villa Franca is a peaceful haven in the heart of the action. This hilltop retreat overlooks the beautiful Amalfi Coast that’s magical by day and just as enchanting at night. Channel your inner Sophia Loren on a stylish lounger beside the rooftop pool. Sip cool cocktails as you scan the skyline. Admire the landscapes from Restaurant Li Galli. As the Italians say, “la vita è bella”.

Villa Franca was once a private home, created to celebrate its sublime setting. Still run by the same family, it’s now a chic boutique hotel that pays homage to old and new Amalfi. Inside, majolica and Italian marble sit alongside modern works of art and designer names.Here you could have lunch on the terrace, followed by an afternoon of pampering in the O'SPA, their chic wellness centre where all treatments are performed by skilled therapists, using Sothys skincare products. Then settle in to Gallis Bar – a favourite of the Positano in-crowd since the forties. Its piano music, library of films and vintage games are perfect accompaniments to aperitivo and pre-dinner nibbles.

Loved our stay at HVF

Beautiful property located up the hills in Positano. Friendly staff who took care of many reservations prior to our stay and then continued to provide us wonderful service during our stay. Rooftop pool and bar are an added bonus. Highly recommend this hotel.

Food And Drinks

Refined yet relaxed, Restaurant Li Galli celebrates fresh, local ingredients and classic Mediterranean flavours. Sommeliers can select just the wine to match your meal. And it all comes with sensational coastal views. Those vistas only get more impressive at GalliGrill that’s set high up on the panoramic pool terrace.

GalliGrill

Served Meals: Lunch, Dinner At GalliGrill you can enjoy lunch or a light snack on an elegant rooftop terrace in the most panoramic point of Positano with 360 degree view of the village and the entire bay with the isle of Capri and Li Galli Island as a backdrop.

Li Galli

Where the blue of the sea and the sky meet. With breathtaking sea views across Positano and the isle of Capri- Li Galli Restaurant offers a memorable dining experience. Territorial cuisine is interpreted with a gourmet touch for the ultimate pleasure of taste and sight.

Spa

Grand statues, ornate tiling, traditional steam baths – there’s a hint of classical Italy in O’SPA. Yet the soothing massage and beauty therapies are made for 21st-century life. After time spent in the hammam or Turkish bath, ready yourself for the beach with a manicure or pedicure. If you prefer working out to winding down, Villa Franca also has a personal trainer and well-equipped gym.
