Laqua Countryside in Vico Equense

This is one of the most beautiful hotels in the world with the most impeccable service and food. The hotel is situated in the countryside, hence the name, high up in the mountains. Not accessible if you don’t have a car! The roads are not for the faint hearted so you have to be a brave and confident driver.
We arrived and had the pool to ourselves. Just before dinner we saw the chef outside our room picking herbs for our dinner. Bliss.
The dinner was exquisite. One of us had the vegetarian tasting menu( €120)and the other had the mix (fish and meat €160). Each course expertly put together with the finest touches to each one. Everything from the vegetarian menu is from the garden - heaven. The service is wonderful. Lots of dishes have a story which they tell you - it makes you appreciate the food more.
The hotel is family run - set up by a passionate couple who love nature, fresh produce and people. You can feel it.
The rooms are classy and the amenities slick. The breakfast we chose to have in our room and it was delicious and perfect. So much choice.
Only thing I would say is the wine is very expensive for a glass and the beer too.
There are beautiful hikes around which we enjoyed.
If you want to go anywhere it is about 20 minutes down the mountain first and some very sharp bends but it is worth it!

The Laqua Countryside is an excellent boutique hotel. Our family rented two rooms and they were both very nice. The breakfast was served by hotel staff and it was wonderful. The location is a bit more remote, so you should allow some extra time for travel. The staff were very professional and helpful, and we enjoyed the well maintained facilities and yard at the hotel.

Laqua Countryside is a haven from the bustle of the Amalfi coastal area. The staff are so charming and helpful. The garden is full of fruit & vegetables all of which is used in the most amazing restaurant. We had sublime food of the best quality. Wonderful pairing of ingredients.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights as part of our honeymoon in Rome and the Amalfi coast. This has been the highlight of our trip so far and probably the best hotel experience we’ve ever had. The staff are kind and welcoming. The rooms are beautiful and thoughtfully designed. The town of Ticciano is a beautiful and peaceful place. The food was unbelievable. Everything we ate was impeccable - from breakfast, to the club sandwhich by the pool and of course our dinner. We did the cooking class experience with Davide and it was a complete delight. Our dinner here was something we will never forget. A truly impeccable experience. We are now looking to book another Laqua property on our next visit to Italy. A beautiful hotel. We didn’t want to leave.

We experienced Laqua Countryside as almost perfect. If you like to relax and rest: great location in a quiet town. If you like service, they are 24/7 available and extremely friendly, if you like amazing food (from breakfast to dinner): It's a Michelin kitchen..
1 point they should improve is insulation towards the rooms. With closed door and window, it should be completely quiet in the room which wasn't the case: There's some noise from the restaurant and the airco isn't the most silent one either. The basics of a hotel is night rest so that's the only reason why I don't give 5/5 for all. I want to repeat: The rest was just perfect!

Such a great place. I could stay in this paradise for weeks!

Wow - exceptional!
This was one of the most exquisite properties I've been to, and was truly a 5 star experience in every way. The restaurant on site is Michelin rated and is worth the price. Breakfast was included and the quality, choices and volume were beyond every expectation we had going in. The staff were warm, attentive and respectful, and made it feel like we were on a private resort. The gardens on the property provide the food and flowers used by the hotel & restaurant and the smells were incredible. The patio overlooking the mountains was quiet and lovely, and the pool was heated, crystal clear and beautifully maintained. We will be recommending this property to everyone travelling to the Amalfi area and hope to return someday soon.

Service and staff were amazing
The property is remote but that’s what makes it so special
Breakfast was out of this world
VIP treatment for the entire stay
Recommend hands down!
Stay for dinner - it is very special

What a fantastic experience! I was at the Laqua restaurant together with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We have been welcomed with warm hospitality and after a quick tour to see the garden and the pool area we have started what will remain an unforgettable experience. We had chosen the two main menus (Nonna Fiorentina and Nonno Antonino) and a selection of valuable wines. The turbot with fried watermelon and the ice cream made with “provolone del monaco” are unique and the probably contributed to the awarding of the Michelin star. Chef Nicola and his team made that dinner priceless. It’s a real journey in a multitude of flavors. Top!

Exquisite place in the mountains of Sorrento
our stay at Laqua was simply amazing. The view, the place, the service, the small details, the herbs/vegetable/fruit garden - everything - was beyond our expectations.
