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.

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.

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.

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..

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!

The property is excellent value for money and great if you want an authentic experience. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. We did eat the evening meal which I found really tasty. My son is a picky eater - but he ate the pasta and the meat course. They did check with us if there was anything we didn’t eat the morning of our meal which I thought was really kind of them. Put last day we snacked throughout the day so wasn’t too hungry so we bought a sandwich and some noodles locally. They prepared my son’s noodles for him which was really kind. My son did use the pool a couple of times too. The train is noisy but only a couple an hour and it stops over night so doesn’t disturb sleep. You done it out after a while in any case. Great place to stay and great location for the ruins. Thank you for your hospitality.

The property was very clean and tidy and in good repair, although a bit basic. The room was very comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful - in particular pointing out a final nights promotional price viewing for a local attraction that we would have otherwise missed (the Villa de Mistery). There was free parking within the property - which was very convenient (although a little tight) and the pool was very enjoyable after a hot day. The area was very pleasant and mostly quiet, conveniently near to the station and the entrance to Pompei Scavi (ancient ruins), nearest supermarket that we could find was about 1km away. The food was the real highlight as we took the half board option and Giuseppe and Laurena cooked delicious and varied Italian dishes in plentiful supply every night (including authentic carbonara and seafood linguini with whole crab). There was not anything that we didn't like, however possible improvements could be some tea and coffee making facilities in the room (although Giuseppe made delicious genuine Italian coffee for breakfast and could supply you with others during the day on request - although there may have been an additional charge for that). Overall a hugely enjoyable and relaxing stay and we would reccommend.

Perfect for Pompeii! Dinner is a must!

Nice little place near Pompeii (maybe a 10min walk). Parking in the villa (thru secure gate). Nice pool to cool off after a long tiring day walking. Very good price. Will offer if you want dinner (for a fee) while you’re staying. The meal is a MUST! Best, most filling dinner we had our entire journey through Italy. Homemade and I thought the plates would never stop coming. It was all so delicious! Since dinner was just a few steps from our room , I didn’t even think to grab phone so I could take pictures of the food.

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. G and L were very welcoming and upon arrival are 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 but plenty of Sun loungers around the beautifully clean pool area. Breakfast was buffet style the 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 seem to be coming from the shower in the bathroom. These points wouldn't deter me staying there again, I loved it. See you again G and L x

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!

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.
