I had a lovely stay at Hotel Villa Franca! While my deluxe room was on the smaller side, the amazing views from the terrace made it all worth it. The hotel's location, perched on a hill, offered tranquility away from the bustling town, although the steep walks to the beach definitely provided a workout. Overall, I enjoyed the attentive service and, despite a few minor hiccups, the experience was nice.

My stay at Hotel Villa Franca was a mixed bag. While the location offers stunning views and a cozy breakfast atmosphere, the service felt lacking and I encountered issues with my room allocation. Although the amenities, like the pool, were nice, the experience didn't quite meet the expectations I had for a five-star hotel.

Rooms

I initially received a room that was below my expectations, being dingy and noisy with a limited view. After raising my concerns, I was moved to a better room with a proper terrace and stunning views, which was a relief.

I recently spent 4 nights at Hotel Villa Franca and overall, it was a beautiful experience. The amazing views from the rooftop pool were definitely a highlight, though I found the rooms to be a bit small and lacking some amenities. The service was excellent, with friendly staff available to assist at all times. However, I did encounter issues like a faint sewer smell in the bathroom during my stay. I'd recommend this hotel for its charm and view, but be mindful of the size of the rooms. 🌟
