"After many hotel holidays in Sorrento this was our first time staying in a Guest House and we were not sure what to expect. Our 10 day stay at Villa Pane turned out to be the most relaxing and enjoyable break we have ever had. The 4 course evening meals were of the highest quality. Anna Maria, Luigi and the family were so friendly and obliging you felt that you had known them all your life. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday and the assurance of excellent food at every meal then you will not be disappointed with your time at Villa Pane. The shuttle bus is well organised and the pick up point is only a couple of minutes walk from the main square. We also attended the cookery class and again thoroughly enjoyed the experience."
"We just made the cooking lesson. It was very interesting and we learned some new receipes! We made the menu for dinner and a lot of fun, too. The menu at night is very delicious and I also can recemmoned that to join."
"In genere il successo di una vacanza è dato dalla qualità della struttura scelta e, soprattutto, dalla buona compagnia.... A Villa Pane abbiamo trovato entrambe le cose! Una dimora graziosamente arredata, pulita e ben servita sotto tutti i punti di vista. La splendida signora Annamaria e il suo simpatico staff (Guido compreso) che, con la dovuta discrezione, sono sempre pronti a soddisfare ogni necessità ed a proporre eventuali serate a tema (la grigliata di Ferragosto è stata fantastica!). In questo luogo i profumi, la vista mozzafiato, i colori e i sapori armonizzano davvero la vacanza fondendosi in una cornice di rara bellezza.... Torneremo sicuramente a Sorrento ed altrettanto sicuramente sapremo già dove alloggiare.... A presto!"
"We were spending couple of days in Sorrento in the end of June with my husbands family (parents, siblings and couple of young children - 8 adults and 2 kids). We really enjoyed our days in Villa Pane, which is in very peaceful and beautiful place and most of all - the host of the small Relais is so helpful and friendly and a masterchef! Anna Marie (host) and her family run the hotel so it feels like you are at home. When we asked her to prepare us some food for dinner, she made us eight-course meal, which was perfect! We ate among other things caprese, mussels, fish with a hint of peperoncino and at the end very delicious lemon cake. She prepared us courses from those ingredients she had bought in the morning from fishers/market sellers... certainly fresh!) Wine was also amazing (Greco di tufo). We asked about the wine and when we were leaving there were one box of this ideal white wine waiting for us to take with us - Anna Maries son San Luigi managed to get it to us from his friend, who produces this wine (you can't buy from shops). We ate there also next evening, cause we realised you can't get any better food from the town. And it was easy to put to sleep the kids and eat there in a lovely terrace were you can smell the lemons and basil they grow by themselves (you could hear to the terrace if children cry - balkony of that room was straight above terrace). And food was delicious again..... And breakfast was also good enough with croissants, bread, cheese, ham, jam, fruits, juice, coffee, cerials,..... Rooms were very cosy and clean. There were even an refrigerator. Bathrooms were very well equipped and clean (almost brand news). Some of the rooms have a great view to the sea. You can even shower and see the sea same time :-) There are about 10 rooms. Size of balconies vary - some rooms have only a french balcony and couple of rooms have so big balconies that there were one or two sunbeds! Upstair-rooms seemed to be little better than those which were in the lover level. But overall nice rooms. Hotel is surrounded by a lovely garden with lemon trees and herbs and flowers. There is also a small pool-area (it is a huge tub) with couple of sunbeds and tables and chairs. From Sorrento city there is about 2 to 3 km to the relais. Cause the end of the road is so steep and narrow, they have a parking space where you can leave your car and they come and pick you up and the other way round (you just call them). Or if you have a small car and you are a brave driver (as my husband with our Fiat500), you can drive straight there (as all the locals do) - there is also a parking space in a garden. They have also a parking space near the center of Sorrento, where you can leave your car while shopping/sightseeing/dining. We even left our car there when we were staying in Capri for couple of days after Sorrento. So I really can say we liked Villa Pane! I don't like hustle and bustle places with too many tourists - like Sorrento-city for me - so the situation of Villa Pane was ideal: near center but at the same time far away from it. But the best things were friendliness and food...and cleanless and peace......all- :-) Thanks Anna Marie and San Luigi (hope I remember your names correctly)!!!! ps. Guido was also lovely. Guido is their very humane and nice dog, who wanted us to play with him :-)"

Villa Pane permette di provare emozioni meritevoli di lasciare traccia... Chi dovesse pensarla allo stesso modo potrà come noi esprimere ciò che ha provato. La prima volta abbiamo trovato questo paradiso grazie ad internet, questa volta e le prossime saranno legate alla nostra intenzione di ritonrarci
""We had the best week at Villa Pane last Oct. We booked the cooking class through Edible Destination. Anna Maria, her son Gianluigi and assistant Angela are the best. Our cooking class consisted of 9 and was perfect. Who knew I\'d like zucchini flowers and my husband would be making ravioli and pasta at home. Not to mention he\'s made tiramisu & Limoncello! All the meals we made were fabulous - first we cook, then we all eat - family style. The room was very comfortable and the view absolutely beautiful. Breakfast each morning was perfect - different items each day. The grounds, her gardens, flowers, lemon trees, the chickens, everything was just amazing. Anna Maria makes you feel very comfortable from the time you step in the lobby until you sadly have to say goodbye and go home. As I told Anna Maria, we\'ll be back. Thank you Anna Maria. We miss you!"
"Anna Maria, GianLuigi and family: What a wonderful experience to stay in your lovely and well appointed home. Every detail was beyond expectation. Most especially I valued the feeling of connection with you and the warmth you extended to all your guests. Cooking school was incredible. I DO hope to return some day."
"Anna Maria you made our week (the whole group) Mui bueno Thank you for a fabulous experience"
"Villa pane is a beautiful location for a holiday in sorrento, we were made do feel extremely welcome even by the lovely rocky (the dog)"
"We were really pleasantly surprised by this villa. After having looked at many options for accommodation in Sorrento we don't think we could have made a better choice. Remote, but not isolated thanks to the regular free shuttle bus & we never felt that anything was too much trouble. The evening meals were delicious & Anna Maria obviously cared very much that guests enjoyed her meals. Great views, large accommodating bedrooms. A relaxing oasis away from the bustle of Sorrento. Thank you. Sophie & Lee"
"Two friends and I booked this trip through Edible Destination and we had the best time. Anna Maria, Gianluigi and the entire Villa Pane staff are fabulous. Had a wonderful time in the cooking classes. Our room was perfect and the view absolutely amazing. This was a trip to remember."
"Anna Maria I hope everything is well and wish to thank you, your family and staff for the wonderful time we enjoyed. Getting my "starter" going and looking forward to enjoying my new culinary knowledge. Still in touch. ralphael"
