"Este silencio, esta paz, este sitio seta tocado por la mano divina. Agusto Y con carino nos han reribido a mi y mi esposa. destde barbastro un fuerte beso."
"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 :-)"
"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"
"...appena tornate da una vacanza brevissima a Sorrento! Che dire...un posto meraviglioso e soprattutto la vista dalla terrazza del monolocale ci ha lasciate senza fiato! Anche se non siamo state nella struttura di Villa Pane abbiamo potuto godere della ospitalità, cordialità e discrezione di Annamaria e del suo staff! Sono persone molto disponibili che riescono a creare un\'atmosfera estremamente rilassata tra gli ospiti come durante la cena di ferragosto...era come stare tra amici!"
"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"
"E' difficile raccontare in poche parole l'esperienza vissuta in questo angolo di Sorrento che lega alla movida del centro il relax dell'agriturismo perché posizionato in collina ma a pochissimi Km dal centro città. Ottime esperienze culinarie e soprattutto notevole la simpatia dei gestori sempre disponibili."

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
""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."
"We had a pleasant stay at Villa Pane. We stayed 10 days in the beautiful area of Sorrento. The dinner at night were great. I can recommend the BBQ that was delicious. The whole family and her dog Guido were very nice and friendly. We really liked Villa Pane. Ciao Lara e Thorsten"
"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."
"Enjoyable Villa Pane We were a group of 6 friends spending the first week of October at Villa Pane. We enjoyed it very much; the friendliness of the host family with Anna Maria, her son Luigi and their dog Guido was overwhelming; we rather felt like visiting family friends than staying at a hotel. Villa Pane itself is a relatively small resort with only some 10 nice and well equipped rooms some 3 km up hills and outside the Sorrento centre. This might be regarded as somewhat impractical but the problem is overcome by the shuttle service provided by Luigi. Villa Pane is nicely surrounded by Italian gardens and vegetation and provides a place for relaxation after visiting all the busy tourist traps in Sorrento and its surroundings. We had not intended to have all our dinners at Villa Pane but so it happened that every evening after returning from the days´ “tourist work” we decided to enjoy Anna Marias excellent Italian food. This also provided the opportunity to enjoy pre-dinner drinks on the roof terrace with a magnificent view over the Gulf of Napoli. Villa Pane is highly recommendable to families and small groups that want to have a nice, quite and affordable base station for the exploration of the Sorrento peninsula and the Amalfi coast."

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
""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."
