The childhood home of a Michelin-starred chef becomes a luxury resort in the Sorrento countryside; this is the story of our Laqua Countryside.
6 rooms telling their own tales
Those same rooms where Antonino Cannavacciuolo spent his childhood are now refined guest rooms at the resort. Each one tells a story of the people who in the past left their own legacy at the manor house.
“La stanza della Nonna“ (Grandmother’s Room), with its “Asiago peach rose” marble bathroom, smells of memories and lavender. On the other hand, “La stanza del tuttofare” (The Handyman’s Room) tucks away here and there replicas of tools the man used to take care of the house. More eccentric in style is “La stanza dello Zio Matto” (The Mad Uncle’s Room), which proudly displays all the memorabilia he kept.
“La stanza del Curato” (The Parish Priest’s Room), with its rose-hued “Calacatta Statuario” marble bathroom and crystal glasses, embodies all the grandeur and class of the person who stayed there. Much more cozy, “La stanza di Annarella” (Annarella’s room), with its navy blue tones and old Olivetti typewriter. Intimate and modern, located at the highest point of the resort, “La stanza di Marina” (Marina’s Room), who always had a thin cigarette between her fingers.
Details and tidbits about Laqua Countryside
Laqua Countryside not only chronicles the childhood of Antonino Cannavacciuolo and the past of many others, but also of the present full of passions. The entire struc ture embodies the ties to the territory and tradition, starting with the materials used.
The walls are made of limestone, gathered when cleaning the grounds following old Campanian peasant traditions. The flooring inside also embraces tradition, this time from ancient Rome, as it is made using the cocciopesto technique (a sort of natural plaster made with crushed pottery and brick). Adding an even more homey touch are sculptures made by Andrea Cannavacciuolo, the Chef’s father. Take a look at this vibrant collection on the main staircase.
Our resort in Ticciano is an endless woven array of stories; those of the family, the surrounding territory, and the guests who each day make this magical place along the Sorrentine Peninsula even wealthier in memories.
