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.

Amazing stay in Pompeii
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.

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. 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

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.

Just perfect. A Mum and daughter weekend. We were made to feel at home as soon as we arrived, nothing is to much trouble for this amazing couple.. Our room was clean and spacious. The dinner was insane.. Home cooked and so many dishes were brought out. Definitely eat here at least 1 night of your stay. A pool to cool off in after 20k steps a day was just what I needed and with only a few mins walk, you are at the ruins and train station what more could you want. I will definitely be back for another visit..

I booked this for my daughter and her partner, and I was disheartened to hear that the conditions of the room was not up to scratch. It was too close to the train line, running from 5 am until 11:30 pm. The room was run down, mould in the bathroom, hair in soap dish, no pillow protectors. You can feel the mattress springs in your back. The room was dark and dingy, all in all very disappointing. The only positive was the location and the shuttle service.

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.

Nice Stop
Excellent location next to rail tracks where you can hop the train. The host accommodated our very late check in two hours after check in closed as we had various issues on the way there. Comfortable bed, great breakfast, can leave car there protected and walk to do Pompeii Ruins. Only issue is train is noisy late and early, but not middle of the night.
