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.

The hosts are very warm and welcoming, they cook an excellent diner. Though, from the comfort side etc rooms, bed mattress, pillows etc are very outdated. also, it is literally next to a train railway...

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..

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!

We got this stay on our way to Pompeii and got a wonderful surprise. Don Domenico received us at the gate and from there we got show to our lovely rooms and headed to a great dinner. Lorena and Giuseppe took care of the meal and stay. Can't say enough about out stay in Pompeii. And the property is right beside the Pompeii ruins. 5 min walk to the main entrance.

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.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and nice. There is a lovely pool and garden and breakfast is included. It is next to rail line but has a railfan that was a bonus for me. Station and archeological site within walking distance.

If you want a place to stay where your plan is to see Pompeii stay here. They have a home cooked 5 course meal available for a few that is absolutely amazing. They are friendly and it is walking distance to Pompeii archaleogical site and the Pompeii train station so you can continue your trip to the amalfi coast after testing snigger here to see pompei

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.

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!

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.

Highly recommend staying here before a trip to Pompeii park. It’s walking distance from the park entrance and the train station. It’s run by a lovely family. We arrived late and starving from the Naples airport on the 1st night of our trip. We were worried about finding food becuase the small town looked pretty closed for the evening. The wife cooked us the most amazing meal. The courses just kept coming and coming (no menu) and she made sure we were well fed and had beer and wine for us. Breakfast the next morning was also good and we were able to store our bags while on the tour of Pompeii. Very friendly family and happy we were able to stay with them!

amazing place all around. literally a 5 minute walk away from pompei which was also right across the street from the train station (which had restaurants and a little shop with essentials), which made getting to sorrento/the amalfi coast super easy. the place was very quiet and peaceful, and the neighbourhood felt safe. dinner is provided as long as you let them know in advance and the food is great and authentic. we felt welcomed like family, and the dinner area was a great place to meet other people staying at the villa. absolutely recommend to anyone visiting pompei!

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.
