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.

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.

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

si trova in una posizione splendida con vista di tutto il golfo capri inclusa camere impeccabili curatissimo ogni servizio con gentilezza e cordialità dei gestori, la sig,ra Anna maria cucina benissimo consgilio molto anche pranzare li. Ho cenato anche in uno degli hotel a 5 stelle migliori di sorrento, non cè dubbio che abbia mangiato molto meglio a villa pane spero di tornarci presto. ps. anche se non si trova in centro il servizio navetta è ottimo.

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.

Victoria from United Kingdom, August 21, 2012 at 4:13 PM The hotel was extremely clean, weciomlng, and beautiful. The facilities available were above the usual for the level of hotel in this area. The swimming pool, tennis, bowls, and bikes keep you entertained. The room was very spacious an well furnished.

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.

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.

Thank you so much for your great hospitality and warm welcome went to Capri and had a lovely time. Thank you again!

Grazie Mucho mi familia italiano! I will miss you, and you will forever hold a spot in mi corazone, and in my stomach! Come to the ranch anityme please!

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 :-)

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.

Very nice site!

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!

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.

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!

Dear Anna Maria and Gianluigi, We have had a very good time for 5 days in May 2015 at Villa Pane. Our room and bathroom were large, well equipped and clean. And we had a magnificent view Sorrento and the sea (golfo di Napoli). The breakfast and evening dinner were excellent. The shuttle bus is well organised. We have used it every day. Thanks for 5 very pleasant days. Ciao Rob en Marja

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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
