Villa Pane Resort

Great experience. The staff (including the puppy) are very friendly and we felt like we were at home the entire time. View from the property are outstanding. We liked it because it's tucked away from all of the hustle and bustle but still within a very short distance of everything. The free shuttle service is extremely convenient. The breakfast was great every morning. Homemade products served fresh and you can taste the difference. We loved our time here and wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend.

My sister booked the cooking class knowing my husband would really enjoy it so nice he loves to cook, it was the highlight of his first time in Italy. We meet with Anna Maria the owner of this beautiful place and chef Giovanni, we made gnocchis , potato croquettes, bracciole everything grown on the farm . We had a great time , learned a lot about cooking and the area , took a tour of the farm , finished dinner with homemade limoncello and wine. Both AnaMaria and Giovanni were so friendly felt like we were having dinner with family. I highly recommend taking a cooking class or staying at the resort .

Had a short trip at the end of May with my 21 year old Daughter. Luckily for us we took the weather with us so despite the continual rainfall Italy had been experiencing we had wall to wall sunshine with mid 20 temperatures. We had organised collection from the Airport through Villa Pane both there and back which was seemless and took the stress out. Getting to Villa Pane from the drop off point is most entertaining and the road is very narrow but expertly driven. The courtesy drop off and collections to Sorrento are very well organised and most useful. Villa Pane was very traditional and just what I expected. The hosts were always around and helpful. Our room was quite basic but we were only sleeping there and sadly we did not get one of rooms with a spectacular view but this did not spoil our trip. We would have liked to do the cooking class which was very popular but our Euros did not stretch this far. We were however treated to a wonderful lunch of freshly prepared Ravioli and Fettuccini by our host before we departed and it was exactly what I had hoped for. Guido, the 4-legged friend was a joy and always happy to see a friendly human. We used the garden and hot tub the day of our departure which was lovely and the grounds were well maintained. Views are spectacular. Villa Pane is a lovely, family run home and I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

This place has a beautiful view of Sorrento, but it is not easy to get to. It’s a six minute drive from town, and cars cannot go to all the way up to the hotel. The hotel staff will drive you in a very small van up and down, but you have to give them at least 30 minutes and possibly be prepared to wait an hour.

My mother, sister, nephew and I, went to a cooking class at Villa Pane. It was magnificent!!!!!! This experience included pick up/drop off at our hotel in Sorento. The ride alone was a cool experience (have you seen the side streets in Sorento?). When we arrived at the beautiful home, we were greeted by their friendly dog and immediately felt the warmth of “home.” We began preparing our 5 course meal which consisted of antipasto, caprese, eggplant Parmesan, ricotta cheese (from scratch) to fill out from scratch Ravioli, chicken cacciatore, and last lava chocolate cake! We assisted with it all, my nephew helped pick fresh herbs from the garden. Anna Maria and Luggi were welcoming and so much fun! We enjoyed local wine and even sang “That’s Amore”while kneading our dough for Ravioli. The meal was the BEST we have had since we have been in Italy, hands down!!! What made it most special was the experience and memories I will have to last a lifetime with my family. This is a MUST DO!!!!! You won’t regret it!!!!!

Our cooking class at Villa Pane was wonderful! Anna Maria is warm, friendly and makes the whole experience a joy. The gardens and orchards are beautiful and make the perfect setting for cooking. We were able to cook outside the day we were there and we had a nice breeze. The fresh food grown onsite was delicious in the recipes we prepared. Anna Maria was clear and concise which made preparing our dishes a pleasure. Next time we are in Sorrento, we will be doing this cooking class again!

The place has a difficult location to enjoy Sorrento or other cities around. It’s far from everything and the transfer isn’t friendly. Breakfast is a very sad experience, cold eggs, industrialized food, dirty dishes. The view and the nature around is amazing. The only problem is the service of unfriendly staff

Words cannot express my gratitude to Anna Maria, Gianluigi and their staff for helping to make my 60th birthday celebrations the best ever. Myself and husband James had visited Villa Pane in 2018 on the recommendation of friends and absolutely loved it. The location, the food and hospitality of the staff were superb so I knew that it would be a great place to gather together with family and friends for my milestone birthday. The planning started 2 years ago and Gianluigi made it so easy and was very accommodating. My friends and family can’t stop talking about the fabulous food, wonderful hospitality and awesome surroundings up in the hills close to Sorrento. They even laid on transport to and from Sorrento on my birthday for those few friends who had to stay elsewhere as there were so many of us wanting to stay at the Villa. This will be a memory I’ll treasure forever and a place I can’t wait to return to! Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, on holiday with family or friends, I can’t recommend Villa Pane highly enough: it has a free regular shuttle to and from Sorrento, delicious meals using ingredients from their own farm/ gardens and everything is so reasonably priced. Thank you Anna Maria, Gianluigi and staff!

- Staff is unfriendly (especially owner Anna Maria) and not accommodating. Not really available and reachable during breakfast and checkout hours (had to search and wait for them to checkout in time). Never asked if everything was satisfactory. - Breakfast buffet is far from fresh and includes instant coffee, broken and cold eggs, and plastic wrapped factory bread. Did not look anything like the pictures and no homemade products as so much advertised. - Private parking cannot be reached by a normal car. We had to leave our car in random public parking area down the hill without security. - Rooms have a weird smell and bathroom is moldy. Room was advertised with ocean view, but this could only be seen from the balcony around the corner. The room looked out at another building. Furniture and electronics are old. - The shuttle service is convenient and saves time looking for parking in Sorento. The shuttle driver is always on time and is very friendly.
