Adrift in the heart of Italy's Sorrentian peninsula, along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, proprietors Cinzia and Antonino Cannavacciuolo proudly welcome you to their charming little haven by the sea. The Cannavacciuolos wanted to create a warm and serene setting, where guests could relax while listening to the sound of the sea, and Laqua By the Sea does that perfectly. At this intimate boutique hotel with just six guest rooms, all of which boast exquisite views of the Gulf of Sorrento, neutral tones and décor blend with the soft citrus fragrance wafting off the coastline and the sounds of the gently lapping sea to create an enchanting environment where the charm of Southern Italy meets the passion of the North.

We are not accustomed to being pampered at this level! It was an absolute pleasure staying here. Lovely room, amazing view, truly wonderful staff who really catered to us. The only thing some may find to be a drawback is the distance from Sorrento itself. It's a pretty good hike (about an hour on sketchy-in-places roads, in fact. We walked it once). But the train is about 20 minute walk away and bus service is right there. We had one morning that we wanted to be sure we weren't late so they arranged a taxi for us. That was expensive but we got where we needed to be with no stress and on time. The distance from Sorrento also means way less people which is an absolute plus for us. There is still good dining near by and that's less crowded too.

The staff at Laqua By the Sea were amazing! So courteous and helpful! The B&B was very nice..wish the location was nearer to the City. Would go back!!

It’s our last night here at Laqua by the Sea, and this has been the best hotel experience ever! Luigi and Marina and the rest of the staff were fantastic! The room and view more than we expected! If you are traveling to Sorrento I highly recommend Laqua by the Sea!

Laqua was everything we dreamed of, and more! The hospitality was above and beyond, the services they provided were perfect for relaxation, and let's not forget about our room and the view! Just an amazing experience - we are already planning on coming back. We also loved being in a smaller town that felt less crowded/touristy but an easy and short bus trip to the bigger towns we wanted to explore. Thank you Laqua!

The service in this hotel was so outstanding that it made the whole trip. The rooms are very spacious and they have a cool vibe. The balcony with the pool/jacuzzi (not hot but nice) is such a beautiful place to enjoy down time and a stunning view. The breakfast delivered each morning was good. The wellness center was not as expected. It was only a sauna and a hot tub that was not nearly hot enough. I didn’t use the spa services but my friends had massages that they really enjoyed. The only thing I could point out is that the bathroom design could be better. There needed more hooks for towels in the bathroom and by the pool. They needed more counter space by the sink. There is no privacy for the shower. It is also about 15 minutes to Sorrento Center. While we liked that it was more quiet away from the crowds, we needed to take a taxi to get into the center and they are not cheap. There is an excellent restaurant a block away called Tavernetta Cinquantotto and a nice pizza/pasta place called Tico Tico down the stairs by the water. This gave us some good options to avoid going into the town center. The true superstars were the staff that helped us with taxis, tours, spa appointments, etc. Martina, Luigi, Roberta and Claudia were unbelievably helpful and always took care of every request (via What's App) with friendly and efficient responses. I would love to try some of the sister properties when I go back to Italy because they really set the bar.
