"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!"
"We enjoyed our stay at your place. The cooking experience is unforgettable. Your hospitality was superb! What a fun-filled vacation we had at Villa Pane. We have no reservation to recommend your place to other people. Good luck! All the Best!"
"Thank you for making our holiday so so so beautiful!!! Villa Pane is exactly what we were looked for: friendly, helpful, well heated and a breathtaking views!"
"Una piccolissima luna di miele per noi due, accolti in un posto caldo e accogliente, a presto e torneremo! Grazie"
"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."
"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!"

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!

Mercì beaucoup! Thank you very much for everything. Our stay at Villa Pane has delighted us. We wish you a good continuation. Bye.
""Salve, Anna Maria, Gianluigi, Angela,& Agnese! We had a thoroughly wonderful time at Villa Pane. You truly made us feel welcome and at home. A pleasant balance of culinary learning and free time to relax and explore lovely Sorrento and Capri. We heartily recommend Villa Pane and wish you continued happiness and success. Grazie mille, amici!"
"We stayed at Villa Pane in July and really enjoyed our stay. In fact, it felt like we\'d struck gold. It is by far one of the most tranquil and beautiful spots in Sorrento. It is very rustic and quiet and so if you are wanting to be in the centre of it all, it\'s probably not the right place for you. Luigi and Anna were so hospitable and went out of their way to make us comfortable. Luigi was fantastic with the shuttle bus service and even gave us a lift to a wedding which we were going to. The only downside is that the service only runs til 11.30 and a taxi up the hill is beyond expensive - it won\'t even go all the way due to the tiny road leading up to the villa. The food was wonderful, breakfast simple but with nice fresh ingredients, some from the farm. The rooms were good and clean. The air con didn\'t really work too well but it isn\'t too hot up on the hill at night. The gardens are swimming pool area were idyllic, surrounded by lemon trees. I would definitely recommend this, especially for couples wanting some quiet and a unique experience."
"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 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 :-)"
"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."
"Senza dubbio consiglierei a chiunque questo "casa" ( almeno così ci siamo sentiti noi) per la pulizia, l’ottima qualita’ della cucina, la gentilezza, e per la struttura in generale che offre ottimi servizi. ...... per il pane appena sfornato,...... per le prugne appena raccolte....... per la cortesia della signora Anna Maria sempre attenta ai più piccoli particolari che danno il senso del suo totale amore per questa "sua crestura" grazie anche al grande guido. torneremo sicuramente"
