A dream amid sea and sky on a hilltop position

A peaceful enclave just paces away from Positano town center and within easy reach of two nearby beaches (Spiaggia Grande and Spiagga Fornillo), our hideaway villa-style retreat enjoys an unabashedly romantic setting that is both centrally located and yet utterly secluded.
The thoughtfully designed rooms and suites fuse pared-back simplicity with clever detailing that references both the landscape and local heritage of the Amalfi Coast.

Which is why our team of caring, dedicated staff are always on hand to make sure you have everything you need.

Location
Enjoy the local area
With an enviable address on Viale Pasitea, HVF Villa Franca could hardly be better situated. The property stands on elevated ground, set somewhere between the cliff tops and sparkling sea, surrounded in all directions by the soul-enhancing topography of the Amalfi Coast. In a land famed for its sublime vistas, the panoramic prospects from HVF Villa Franca’s windows, private balconies and terraces, are unparalleled, with sheer cliffs standing to attention over radiant jewel-colored bays.
For those who want sunbathe and swim, Positano’s beaches are only a 10-minute stroll away from the five-star hotel, as is the cobbled town center. Guests who want to get out and further explore the terrain can follow cliff-edge trails that hug the jagged precipice, offering staggering sea views. Other nearby coastal destinations, such as Amalfi and Ravello, are just a short daytrip away too.
The main beach in Positano is Spiaggia Grande, which sits directly across from the Li Galli archipelago and attracts a mix of locals and holidaymakers. Just down the coast is the lesser-known Fornillo, a little sliver of paradise sandwiched between a plunging cliff and the Mediterranean
This hotel is conveniently situated in the heart of Positano and can be easily accessed by car, bus or boat. Alternatively, if you would like, the management would be happy to arrange a private transfer directly from the airport.
Driving Directions:
HVF Villa Franca is best accessed via the A3 highway, which stretches from Salerno, south of Naples, all the way to Reggio Calabria. Take the Castellammare di Stabia exit, continuing on to the S.S. 145 then follow the signs pointing toward Positano. You’ll approach the town center via Viale Pasitea, where you’ll find the hotel at number 318.
Hydrofoil: Between June and October, Metrò del Mare runs hydrofoils, linking Positano with important Campania ports, such as Salerno and Naples.
Bus: From Naples airport, take the Curreri Viaggi bus to Sorrento and from there, a SitaSud bus to Positano.
