Villa Pane Resort, Sorrento

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Pane, although unfortunately during our stay there we didn't get chance to experience the on site cooking due to personal issues with the hosts. This was a shame as we had heard good things about it. The shuttle bus and other services were really good and the host was very friendly and tried to help where possible. Lovely view and room. The hotel is a bit tricky to find but once there it is beautiful. We couldn't find the swimming pool as it appeared to be under construction which was disappointing too but lots to do in Sorrento and surrounding islands.

It is a lovely place but difficult to find, although it has a lot of “hidden amenities” (such as a free shuttle service, cooking classes, restaurant) there are also a lot of things that aren’t on par. Some things need to be upgraded, and there are small details such as the fact that they don’t replace the tea, little milk containers and soap in your rooms, or the mugs etc that are chipped. Getting to and from the guest house outside of the allocated shuttle hours can also be an issue. On the positive side, the food at the restaurant (although it really is expensive) is excellent and the views from the villa are lovely!

As usual this place is Fantastic I would recommend to anyone and done mis Ana Maria’s cooking

Hotel location is very difficult to locate. This hotel does not register on google maps. Google maps takes you to a complete different location. Very frustrating, we finally stopped at a business to ask for directions and the shop owner said you will never find it. He was so kind to take us to the hotel parking lot. Then you must call the hotel and they come get you because the road is to narrow for most cars. This should have been stared in the hotel advertising. We complained to the hotel regarding google maps and the are aware of this but have not solved the problem with google. When you want to leave the hotel to go into the city you must take a hotel shuttle to the city or if you have a car to there parking lot. The shuttle does not run every hour and the last pick up is 10:30pm so no nightlife or late dinners. Be aware the hotel states in their advertising that the city is just a 15 minute walk. This is absolutely not true and I assure you in you walk from the city to the hotel( all up hill) would take a healthy person well over one hour. Now for the positive, the staff is wonderful, the view and the rooms were great.

Beautiful location, incredibly helpful hosts and the food was amazing!
