A Downtown Monterey Inn

Along the California coast just south of San Francisco, there is a glimmering jewel called Monterey. At the heart of this beautiful city stands the Villa Franca Inn. We are just minutes from all of Monterey's most popular destinations. At the end of the day our quaint, comfortable, well-appointed rooms are quite the sight for sore sight-seeing eyes. We pride ourselves on offering a cozy, homey place to rest while exploring the wonders of Monterey.

Monterey is a special place. Our bay is full of a vast array of colorful, playful, and wonderful marine life. Come watch the whales! Nearby is Pebble Beach, one of the most popular resort towns in the state. Enjoy the majesty and splendor of 17 Mile Drive, where you can marvel at the beauty of the California coastline. Cannery Row is world famous, and a great place to shop, eat, and watch the sea lions. Speaking of shopping, you won't want to miss the Del Monte Shopping Center, home to over 70 stores and restaurants. Smell the burning rubber and watch the cars speed across the finish line at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Monterey and the surrounding communities are also ideal for wine tours and tasting.
