8/10 Very good

Really nice place to stay, excellent location for visiting the ruins - only a 5 minute walk to the Scavi entrance. We didn`t eat, other than breakfast, at the villa only due to wanting to explore the area and restaurant's. Only reason I have given 4 * is because we booked a room with single beds, over 6 months in advance, and was given a room with a double bed.

Nice situated hotel

Nice stay at the hotel, breakfast was minimal but nice It included rolls, cereal yoghurt, fresh fruit and juice A fantastic evening meal was available on requests which was a perfect Italian 5 course meal wan was delicious There was no welcome drink that was advertised and reception was not available 24/7 as the owner was not based on sight and just left and no refreshments are not anywhere to be found so you had to walk 10 minutes to the nearest shop When they were there the owner was very helpful and informative The train station and archaeological site were only 10- 15 minutes away so it is ideally situated

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.

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.
My view as I lounged beneath the natural shade at the pool.

When you are here you feel at home. Outstanding service from all the staff. Very friendly. The dinner is a must to try. Very delicious. We enjoyed our 3 days stay its so close to pompeii ruins walk distance less than 4 minutes and you can find many many places to eat. You can even walk to town. Very well located to everything that you need. Definetely will stay again here. Rooms were very clean and big. This is the place to stay if you ever in Pompeii.

Great value for money. Recommend the homemade dinner option, it was delicious. Owners were very friendly. This is not a Hilton or Marriott, it is an authentic family run motel/hotel. Would stay again when visiting. Short walk to Pompeii Free secured parking on site.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

A charming stay in Napoli

Villa Franca is a charming, family-run place that prioritizes delicious food and making guests feel welcome. It’s conveniently located just down the road from the Pompeii ruins, offering a safe and private atmosphere despite a few other travelers staying at the villa. Our host was gracious and even sent us on our way with homemade sandwiches for the road the next day. The dinner we pre-booked was incredible, and the rooms were clean where it mattered most. However, the mattress and pillows could use some updating. The villa is situated next to the train line, so it can be quite loud, but fortunately, the trains stop running overnight, though they do wake you up in the morning. Overall, the experience felt authentic and pleasant, and I would recommend staying here!

This was a gem of a find. It may not have 5 star decor, but dont let that fool you. The family who run the Villa are amazing, very friendly, cant do enough for you and are very knowledgable. We ate here every night and wow, just wow. The food was out of this world. Its a set menu which changes daily, but if you dont like something theyll happily change it. It is also within 10 mins walk of pompeii, and the station for Herculaneum, Sorrento and Naples. We will come back here.

Pompeiis second Gem

A real Gem located a stones throw from the ruins of Pompeii. The room was very clean and spacious with Excellent aircon and an outside patio. Guiseppe and Lorena were very welcoming and upon arrival a free drink of your choice was offered (Peroni) They made you feel more like family than guests, always asking if everything was ok. There's only a few rooms and plenty of Sun loungers around the beautifully clean pool area. Breakfast was buffet style and tables were arranged by the pool side which was lovely, the coffee is great and the breakfast would leave you full and ready for the day. Other guests ate at the hotel, the portion sizes looked substantial. If I was to try and find a negative it would be that the train track backed on to the bedroom and the trains which ran regularly and through the night vibrated through the room, I was also bitten many times by mosquitos which seam to be coming from the shower in the bathroom. These points wouldn't deter me staying there again, I loved it. See you again Guiseppe and Lorena x

Not private villa hire but it feels like it 😊

Villa Franca is a quaint family run villa with a very private feeling. Even when sharing with other guests it's a family feeling as 7 rooms total. Good size pool and plenty of sun loungers considering the small number of rooms. Good Mediterranean breakfast spread each morning and definitely recommend the Dinner option if you like big meals. Home made Italian food with typical multiple platters. 4 courses. The family who run this villa are fantastic. They go out of thir way to ensure you have a great time. At the same time it's really relaxed. Drinks available throughout the day and you just settle up at the end of holiday. The villa is close to the ruins of Pompei so it's an easy day out. Close by is a selection of shops and restaurants plus the station which makes trips to Napoli, Sorrento and the amalfi coast very easy. There was only 1 negative - the trainline being so close. It didn't matter in the day as other noise like music and chatter are also there. However at night there were a couple of trains (it's not a busy track) which disturbed our sleep. Would advise packing some of the soft earplugs. We definitely will for our next visit. Would definitely go again because all the positive experiences far outweigh the train noise.

Rustic and homely, top food, short walk to ruins

Room was a good size with plenty storage and most importantly very good air con! Absolutely loved the pool which was a very welcome relief after a day at the ruins. Dinner has to be the highlight, fresh, flavoursome and plentiful! I need to learn how to make the deep fried courgette flowers, and everything else! Lorena could perhaps run a cooking class 😊. Much nicer experience than just doing a day trip to Pompeii! Looking forward to coming back again! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality 🙏

No frills, well-situated hotel with great service

Hotel is easy to find, we had a taxi from Naples airport that took half an hour, and then left via train which is an easy 10 min walk downhill to the station. The hotel is well placed to visit Pompei, Vesuvius, Naples and Sorrento......Herculaneum not so easy from the nearest station as few trains stop at Pompei Scavi, but there is a bigger one 1.5 miles away. Also well placed for a number of restaurants however the hotel does offer a set menu each night at 30 euros a head which is wonderful, but they need to know that morning if you're planning to eat there. They serve a very decent wine too. Pool is small but more than adequate and plenty of sunbeds or chairs. Soft drinks and beers are available in the afternoons. Rooms are basic but very clean, with air conditioning, a decent pressured shower, hairdryer, showergel, soap and also a wardrobe with a few hangers. Bed was a little hard, but that's my preference. Plenty of electrical sockets and mirrors too. Others have mentioned the trains which are very close by but I think the last one was about 11pm and the first 6.30am.. you get used to them in any case. Breakfast was simple but delicious and everything was fresh. The staff are super-nice and super-helpful. We stayed 5 nights and for the price we paid it really couldn't be beaten, if anything I'd have happily paid more!

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.

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..
