"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!"
"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 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 took the cooking class from Anna Marie and her staff. We had a great time as well as great food. Highly recommend taking the class."
"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"
"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"
"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!"
"Thanks for a wonderful stay, great place, great food and great host. You have a very welcoming home and we hope to see you again."
"
Ringraziamo l'ospitalità di tutta la famiglia pane e tutte le persone incontrate durante questa vacanza in penisola sorrentina. Il posto favoloso, la cortesia inimitabile ci faranno rimpiangere questi giorni. Arrivederci a presto e tante buone cose
""We just visited Anna Marie at her villa for cooking school. It was the best meal we ever had. And the stories she told and the warmth of her home made the experience something we will never forget."
"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."
"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."
"Sue, Melanie & I visited Anne Marie and Gianluigi this summer and what a delightful relaxing 11 days we all three enjoyed. Sorrento, the Amalfi coast and the Bay of Naples is amazing if you have a car and explore and enjoy this part of Italy. Nearly every night we were enticed back to the Villa Pane for Anne Marie\'s delightful meals, the ingredients were always either grown on the property or was locally sourced produce. Gianluigi service was faultless. Breakfast is lovely offering a wide choice of fresh ingredients, you will not be disappointed. The room was lovely furnished and homely and comfortable, always spotlessly clean, the view of Sorrento and the Bay of Naples is delightful anytime of the day from your room. The shuttle bus service was fantastic, the drive up the narrow road to the Villa Pane looks easy when Gianluigi drives but with care in a small hatchback hire car the narrow road is not too much of a problem. Sue and Melanie both so much loved joining Anne Marie in her kitchen to be taught and make homemade pasta and other Italian cooking tips Simply Anne Marie and Gianluigi open up their lovely home and always made us feel comfortable, so much so to feel a member of their family with their warmth and thoughtfulness towards us all. We will return that is no doubt, it is a promise, thank you Anne Marie and Gianluigi."
"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!"
