"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"
"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."
"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."
"Very nice site!"
"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!"
"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."

Mercì beaucoup! Thank you very much for everything. Our stay at Villa Pane has delighted us. We wish you a good continuation. Bye.
""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!"
"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."
"We spent 10 days at Villa Pane in September. The atmosphere is very friendly. After a long, intense day (excursion to the Vesuv, Pompei, Capri and Ischia) it is the right place just to relax. To enjoy the dinner on the terrace with a nice view on Sorrento. Anne-Marie cooks like italian grand-mothers do. The three course menu (at an extremely interesting price) was delicious, good house wine and at the end the home made Limoncello (we have bought 3 bottles) was the highlight after a busy day. You have to eat at Anne-Maria to taste the difference. We had a very nice, big room as well as bathroom. The Villa Pane is located above Sorrento (5 min by car). If someone is looking for peace after a long turbulent day, with a beautiful view of Sorrento and the good Italian cuisine according to grand-mother's recipe, Villa Pane is the right place."
"Anna Maria you made our week (the whole group) Mui bueno Thank you for a fabulous experience"
"We had the best holiday here at the villa pane Gianluigi and Anne Marie make you most welcome in the villa The evening dinner and breakfast was excellent and the cooking school a must do day . Very relaxing holiday and live how a tipi cal italian family do"
"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."
"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!"
