"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!"
"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."
"Anna Maria you made our week (the whole group) Mui bueno Thank you for a fabulous experience"
"è passato circa un mese che siamo andati io e la mia ragazza a villa pane e ci manca tantissimo è stato una bellissima esperienza quel posto e magico è semplicemente unico... la cuoca è eccezionale per fino il cane e accogliente nn c'è nessun giudizio negativo... la colazione tutt'ora la penso e stata favolosa ricca e tutto ottimo... vi ringrazio che ci avete regalato momenti di gioia in una sola giornata, sicuramente ci ritorneremo, a presto!!!"
"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!"
"Thank you so much for your great hospitality and warm welcome went to Capri and had a lovely time. Thank you again!"
"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."
"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."
"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 :-)"
"Dear Anna Maria Thank you for everything. I enjoy a lot my stay in your house. I hope I will come back a day. See you later."
"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!"
"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."
"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"
"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."
