Villa Franca - Pompei

The atmosphere was great! Close to the Scavi, friendly owner, great food at incredible price and home made wine!!!!! We stayed only one night, but I'm considering booking a whole week there!!!

The rooms are poor but clean. The swimmingpool is excellent. The way to Pompeï is excellent. The owner takes good care of everything. The food was good.

The Villa Franca felt like staying at a friends house, not a hotel. From the minute we arrived we were treated like old friends. We were offered cold drinks right away and the owners took the time to sit down and talk to us about Pompeii and some of the things we should see in the area. They provided us with an amazing home cooked dinner for a reasonable cost of 12 euro per person. And we were served a home cooked breakfast that was included in cost of the room. We ate poolside and were offered local drinks with our meals. The rooms were spacious,very clean and comfortable. The place was very kid friendly (we were traveling with 6 kids) and had a swimming pool which felt great after a long dusty day at the Pompeii ruins. I would highly recommend this place for families traveling alone or with kids.

The Villa Franca is a very friendly place with a great atmosphere encouraging casual contact between various guests at the hotel. Food was excellent and the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating with advice as well as any needs regarding the room. We were able to leave our car there for a day while travelling by public transportation even after we had checked out! The location is great! Very close to the main entrance to the ruins of Pompei.

The owners speak very well english and are very very friendly and helpful. The dinner they serve is fantastatic - better than in many more expensive restaurants. Location is perfect (near the ruins), and you can leave your car in Villa Franca. Pool in the garden is nice. We felt like staying at our Italian family or friends, and would recommend to others as well.

the owners were excellent and very friendly, evening meal was excellent and they even cooked me a lovely coeliac meal, and allowed us use of the pool after checking out.

have only good comments re Vllla Franca

This is a family run hotel located a short stroll from the main entrance to Pompeii Scavi. After a hot day on the site, cooling down in the pool was indeed very welcome... The people are incredibly friendly and did everything to make our short stay comfortable. We were charged only for two people even though we booked a triple room (the only one left when we made the reservation); when I ran out of cigarettes, the owner brought me a pack from the tabacchi so that we wouldn't have to go search for one ourselves; they offered us an early breakfast because we had to leave for Rome in time, etc. As the modern town of Pompeii doesn't offer much in terms of evening entertainment, we stayed there for dinner and were not disappointed: we had an excellent three course meal prepared by the father for, well, no money at all considering the quality. Definitely a very good choice if you're visiting Pompeii!

We arrived in the pouring rain which was disappointing as it was the last two days of our holiday. The couple who welcomed us spoke excellent English and upgraded us to the lovely hotel next door also owned by the family so we were very happy. They could not do more to make our stay a pleasant one in spite of the rain and deserve the highest praise for caring for us. It was also only a 5 minute walk from the Scavi we had come to visit and the station.

There is a railway line next to the hotel.

Guiseppe & family are very hospitable and helpful. The evening meal option is well worth taking. Excellent simple italian food.

Heating broke down on second night but fixed by third.

Very good dinners, vine e.t.c. We were satisfied with the accommodation, and the short Walking distance to Pompei.

Excellent in house cook Friendly Good location.

Train noise close Security system

This place is no hotel. It is a family owned villa behind a gated wall. It's right next to the ruins of Pompeii. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They host family is very accommodating and professional. For us, the real highlight was accepting meals provided by the family. These were cooked by a retired professional chef and were some of the best meals we had during our trip to Italy. By far, this was our favorite choice of accommodation during the trip. We highly recommend.

There was no private television in the room, but the compound is beautiful.

They accepted only cash, not credit card. But in Booked.net site, they welcome cresit cards. I can't understand. They are gooing to avoid to pay tax.
