Fabulous oasis...with fantastic hosts.

Fabulous guesthouse..such friendly hosts. An oasis from the heat and bussle of Pompei ruins. The pool is oerfect to cool off in after a day visiting the ruins..Vesivius etc. The famous home cooked dinner which can be booked for the evening is delicious. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for real Italian hospitality.

Charming family run small scale hotel. A peaceful oasis away from crowds of tourists. Beautiful pool area to relax in, with no shortage of comfortable loungers. Exceptional food in the evening cooked with love by the owner and decent continental breakfast provided. Rooms simply furnished with en-suite, air conditioning and tv. Thoroughly cleaned each day. Great stay, we would recommend.

BEST Place I Ever Stayed

If it was possible to give this place 1 million stars, I would do it. The host will help you with everything you could possibly need. He is kind and friendly and has created this lovely environment. There are trees over the patio around the pool that have to be 20 years old because they have grown so fully and beautifully. The homemade meal here is also amazing and should not be missed.

Wonderful place, walk to Pompii ruins..

This is a wonderful place.. Beautiful and the best food we've eaten in Italy.. The room was very comfortable, clean and well provided for. The couple that run the place are very, very friendly.. The train/ruins are about a 15min walk.. There is a decent slope to the hotel.. but if I (66) and my brother (78) could get up the hill back to the Hotel from our visit to Pompii.. You can also! Wish we could've stayed longer.. If I ever get back to Pompii this would be my choice..

Well placed as a base to visit Pompeii ruins, Vesuvius, Sorrento and Naples. Train station only a 8 min walk - able to hear them from property but did not cause us an issue. Good clean basic accomodation and having a pool area for a dip and relaxing around was great. The optional evening meal is not to be missed - try it out at least once during a stay. Staff very friendly and approachable. Ensured we had breakfast very early on day of departure.

The Villa is situated close to the Pompeii ruins and train station. The value for money was good and facilities available met our needs. Cleanliness was good with the room being cleaned daily. The owners were friendly and very informative with their local knowledge and suggestions. We would recommend Villa Franca to others. The atmosphere is friendly but not intrusive. Thank you Giuseppe and family.
