"We spent 10 days at Villa Pane in September. The atmosphere is very friendly. After a long, intense day (excursion to the Vesuv, Pompei, Capri and Ischia) it is the right place just to relax. To enjoy the dinner on the terrace with a nice view on Sorrento. Anne-Marie cooks like italian grand-mothers do. The three course menu (at an extremely interesting price) was delicious, good house wine and at the end the home made Limoncello (we have bought 3 bottles) was the highlight after a busy day. You have to eat at Anne-Maria to taste the difference. We had a very nice, big room as well as bathroom. The Villa Pane is located above Sorrento (5 min by car). If someone is looking for peace after a long turbulent day, with a beautiful view of Sorrento and the good Italian cuisine according to grand-mother's recipe, Villa Pane is the right place."
"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!"
"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)"
"A friend and I booked this trip through Edible Destinations. I have traveled all over the world and I think Villa Pane was one of my favorite experiences. Anna Maria, Gianluigi and the staff are very welcoming and accommodating to your needs. The villa (Anna Maria's) home is beautiful and comfortable. You are made to feel at home yourself. The cooking classes were relaxed and fun and the food was delicious. Aside from the cooking classes, activities were planned every day, or you could also do whatever you wanted. I would definitely recommend Villa Pane, even if you are not taking the cooking classes."
"Dear Anna Maria Thank you for everything. I enjoy a lot my stay in your house. I hope I will come back a day. See you later."
"Thank you for a lovely October holiday. We had a great time. Your helpful support was a great assistance."

Grazie per averci accolti con fmiliarità e semplicità, il modo migliore per sentirsi a casa propria. Ieri notte non ci aspettavamo una serata in compagnia, è stata proprio una gradevole sorpresa. E poi, come non ricordare i ravioli alle melanzane di Annamaria?!! Un delizioso posticino dove rifugiarsi per godersi la natura e la bella gente, a presto!
""Dear Anna Maria and family, Thank you for a wonderful time. It was most enjoyable. Food and hospitality was grand. I do hope you will contact us, and perhaps come to Texas to visit us."
"We had a wonderfull stay at Villa Pane. Both Anna Maria and Gian Luigi did all to make our stay a god experience. Anna Maria made us walk to hideaway beaches, serving good dinners as premiums when we returned. Gian Luigi helped booking sight seeings and bringing us to and picking us up from Sorrento at all times. They really took good care of us at all times."

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
""Very nice site!"
"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 :-)"
"Very nice site!"

Grazie per la tua ospitalità e per il clima familiare che hai saputo infondere in questo incantevole luogo. Sorrento e la costiera amalfitana sono dei posti meravigliosi che si apprezzano ancora di più quando si ha la fortuna di incontrare persone come Voi.
