"Me and my mother had a wonderful time. Anna Maria and her family make you feel at home. My mother absolutely loved it, it was her favorite part of the trip. Thank you for your hospitality and don't waist your time on the restaurants when you have Anna Maria cooking. Enjoy"
"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"
"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 AnnaMaria and Gianluigi, your kindness and generosity made our vacation one we will keep in our heart. We will certainly recommend your amazing b&b and won't forget the sweet leading to your house.

Descubrir Sorrento y apreciar su belleza fue para nostros una gran alegria. El azul de su mar y el verde de sus montanas no podremos olvidarlos nunca. Tam poco las casas com colgadas en las laderas ni ababilidad de su gente. Y Villa Pane, com un paraiso de paz, de tranquilidad en medio de tanta belleza Y la atenciòn afectuosa, familiar de su gente. Hasta pronto!
""Da dove si dovrebbe cominciare per descrivere Villa Pane?Forse dall'intenso profumo di gelsomini pronto ad accoglierti all'arrivo, o forse dalla meravigliosa presenza degli alberi di limoni e ulivi, complici nel creare un'atmosfera rilassante.Magari potrei cominciare dall'accoglienza delle sue camere e dalla bontà della sua genuina cucina..... Forse per non sbagliare potrei cominciare parlando dei miei nuovi amici Annamaria e Gianluigi e della loro capacità di farti sentire a casa con grande semplicità ed affetto sincero..... La verità è che a pensarci bene è proprio bello non sapere da dove cominciare per descrivere quell'angolino di paradiso che è Villa Pane e la "sua gente".... Grazie davvero di tutto Con affetto Christian P.s.: Annamaria, le tortine di ricotta e pera erano uno spettacolo!!!!! P.s.2: date a Guido una grattatina da parte mia!"
"We had a wonderful and memorable experience with Anna Maria in her kitchen! She showed us how to make bread, the first time in my life, and it was delicious. She is very personable as well as talented. It was one of our best tours in Italy! I would highly recommend it!"
"Se amate il silenzio e un ambiente familiare questo è il vostro posto. Una struttura semplice e accogliente nelle verdi colline di Sorrento. Superato il primo impatto, perché l’accesso alla struttura non è proprio semplice (consiglio di parcheggiare nella piazzetta a 300m e usufruire del servizio navetta gratuito della struttura ... la stradina diventa larga 1.7 m ... tipico di questi centri) si viene accolti dalla famiglia Pane che con la propria semplicità vi farà sentire a casa vostra. La camera è ben attrezzata e con una splendida vista sul mare. Ottima la colazione e buonissima la cena con prodotti a km 0 del proprio orto. Un grazie a Gianluigi e alla Sig.ra Anna che con la loro semplicità ci hanno offerto un’indimenticabile soggiorno a Sorrento."
"1I travel quite a lot and I can honestly say that my experience at Villa Pane was one of the most pleasurable vacations I have ever taken. The warmth, enthusiasm and graciousness helped to make this trip memorable. I made your beef ravioli and tiramisu for my family on Christmas eve, and they loved it. If you ever get to Cincinnati let me know, Coleen and I can be your guides. Thank you for sharing your home with all of us. Wishing you and your families the best."
"13.10.16 I experienced a 7 night stay at Villa Pane. Did not know what to expect because of mixed reviews read before starting out but it turned out perfect for me. I chose a smaller B+B accommo. because I was travelling alone and wanted a friendly, helpful and homely atmosphere. Villa Pane lived up to this and more. If you welcome a little bit of walking (organised regular B+B shuttle transport worked well and I combined both), and you want to be a little away from the bustle of Sorrento centre but not too far, enjoy home cooked dinners and appre ciate the warm feeling like being a guest in an Italian family home you get it all at Villa Pane. Anna Maria and G\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Luigi\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s hospitality had no limit. I cannot complain about anything - loved it and what a lovely group of other holidaymakers too. Did not once feel a \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'lonesome\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' traveller. Would definitley return."
"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 :-)"
"Wir waren Ende August/Anfang September für 10 Tage Gäste der Villa Pane und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Familie Brot ist wahnsinnig nett und hilfsbereit und Anne kocht das beste Essen in ganz Sorrent! Ihre 4-Gänge Menues sind ein Traum und stets mit frischen Zutaten aus dem Garten zubereitet. Die Zimmer sind gemütlich und werden täglich sauber gemacht und man hat einen herrlichen Ausblick auf die Stadt und das Meer. Durch sehr gute Busverbindungen kann man die ganzen Sehenswürdigkeiten der Amalfiküste bequem erreichen. Wenn man mal keine Lust auf eine Tour hat, dann entspannt man einfach im wunderschönen Garten am kleinen Pool. Ich kann diese Pension uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen, denn es ist Erholung pur. Wir kommen gerne wieder!"

A villa Pane c'è Annamaria, una fata solare che dona allegria che dispensa sorrisi e consligli ambasciatrice della terra del sud. Fra uno scenario di ulivi e limoni la Matiz e Gianluigi la fanno da padroni. Si hanno solo piacevoli sorprese. Gli ospiti meravigliati da tutto questo sperano di tornare presto! con affetto e simpatia.
""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."
