La Comitissa

Der Urlaub im LaComitissa war einfach nur perfekt. Absolut empfehlenswert!

We are a family of 7 persons and spent a wonderful week at Villa in mid-October. The Villa is located at amazing area at the heart of the hilly forest of Tuscany, about 20 minutes from Lucca. It is well equipped and has everything you need for a perfect vacation. Indeed, for the first time the road is a bit challenging but if you follow the instructions of the owner - Raphealla - you can find the Villa for the first time and then it's much easier for the rest of the stay. In summary – great place, very friendly and helpful owner, just fabulous.

Es war alles super toll.Sehr sauber ,Küche war sehr groß. Pool wurde jeden Tag sauber gemacht.Es hat an nichts gefehlt.
Vielen dank nochmal.

Wunderschönes Haus. Die Anfahrt ist aber recht mühsam weil steinig, steil und eng. Nix für Sportwagen oder neuwertige Autos.

What can we say that hasn't already been said!? We had a lovely two weeks in this amazing villa, with everything we could possibly want. The pool was cleaned and the garden watered on a daily basis and Raphaella was helpful, friendly and very quick to reply to any questions we had. Even the challenging approach didn't seem too bad after the first few days.

We would recommend going up the leaning tower of Pisa at sunset, as we did, to see it in both daylight and darkness, but make sure to book well in advance. An overnight trip to San Marino was a big hit for us!

Prachtige 14-daagse vakantie doorgebracht op het mooie en verzorgde domein van La Comitissa. De weg ernaar toe is even off-road doorheen het bos, maar de eindbestemming beloont de moeite, het traject raak je vlug gewoon.
Het huis is heel ruim en biedt alle comfort. Iedere slaapkamer heeft een eigen badkamer, een ruime en gerieflijke keuken. De tuin en het zwembad zijn super goed onderhouden.
Heel plezant is de buitenluifel aan het huis die zorgt voor schaduw en tevens een gezellige plaats is om te eten. Het geheel, huis en tuin, is een prachtig domein om een rustige en leuke vakantie door te brengen.

Wat een heerlijk huis! Prachtig uitzicht. Heerlijk zwembad. Comfortabele kamers. We hebben genoten van de stilte en de luxe.

Ristorante da Pinzo, via Nazionale 1027 Ponte Moriano. Laat je niet afschrikken door de buitenkant! Eten is geweldig, bediening top. Je zit tussen de Italianen en dan kun je nog maar een ding; genieten.

Prachtige villa met een fantastisch uitzicht en een heerlijk zwembad.

De foto's op jullie site kwamen overeen met de werkelijkheid.
Moeilijk te bereiken site, maar dusdanig goed geregeld door de eigenares dat dit een te verwaarlozen detail is.
Als er dan toch 1 minpuntje mag genoemd worden is de afwezigheid van een airco.
Zwembad wordt dagelijks gereinigd, in de keuken is alles aanwezig en de bedden zijn ok.

Uitstappen gemaakt naar Firenze, Pisa Viareggio, wijndomein Fubbiano en Lucca. De restaurantjes op het plein aldaar zijn allen van zeer goede kwaliteit.

We had a wonderful time at the Commitissa. Getting to the place for the first time is certainly a bit of a challenge, but therefore you will be rewarded with a well maintained house which overlooks a remote valley north of Lucca.
For us (2 families with 2 teenage kids each) the house was ideal. Enough space for everyone, clean and all the amenities we required. The place looks pretty much like shown in the pictures. For us it was nice that the proprietor added not just the usual but also kept the house in a state that made it a bit of a home. (i.e. band aids in the bathroom, all sorts of kitchen equipment and more).
If you don’t mind the drive we can highly recommend the La Commitissa.

Haus/Grundstück ist wirklich so wie auf den Fotos - sauber, gepflegt - klasse!!!
Service super - in den 14 Tagen wurde der Pool fast täglich gesäubert
Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Sie hat uns bei einem medizinischen Problem - telefonisch - mit Rat und Tat zur Seite gestanden, obwohl sie das eigentlich gar nicht müsste! Wir haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen und würden jederzeit wieder nach La Comitissa fahren!
lediglich die Anfahrt ist schwierig - ohne eine zusätzliche Beschreibung der Vermieterin hätten wir das Haus nur schwer gefunden.

Fabulous secluded location, beautiful views plenty of space both internally and externally. The kitchen was clean and with good appliances. Outdoor eating / seating space and outdoor pool space was very generous. A beautiful nightly Tuscan firefly show was an added bonus!
All upstairs rooms were incredibly hot (regardless of arrangement of shutters / windows during the day). This was a major negative in our opinion and meant every night (for all of us) ended-up being a very poor night's sleep. Two of my children and myself ended up sleeping on mattresses downstairs for several nights, as it was marginally less hot downstairs. Raffaella kindly asked Gabriella to try to buy a fan locally but was unable. The villa needs to have fans in every bedroom. I simply wouldn't book again without that guarantee.

Additionally, I think the two en-suite bathrooms should really have stand-alone showers, rather than bath tap / shower arrangements. We all had to share the smallest bathroom in order to have a proper shower.

We mainly cooked & ate at the villa, so unable to comment on this.

The villa was quite difficult to find an arrival as it is in a remote area. However, we were guided in on the phone without any problems. I was pleased that we had hired 2 cars for our party of 6 adults and 1 baby as it gave us plenty of freedom to visit the many areas of interest.

The villa is in a beautiful position with wonderful views across a valley with mountains in the background. All aspects of the villa are exactly as described on their web site with a lovely well maintained clean pool. I would definitely recommend La Comitissa to my friends.
We were all bitten by mosquitos, which is more of a regional problem and not restricted to the villa. However, we were fortunate to bring our own net for the baby's cot and noticed that previous occupants had erected their own nets across the bedroom windows. Nets would be helpful.

Lucca is the obvious main attraction. It is a wonderful place to visit with plenty of good restaurants and bars. The main circular piazza was a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. Walking around the city on top of the walls was also a great way of seeing all of the city.

Super location - close enough to shops and town etc. but far enough away for perfect calm! The swimming pool is FANTASTIC and really well maintained (cleaned every day), the garden is absolutely stunning (as is the view from the terrasse) and the house is equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly imagine: kitchen equipment, household items. We didn't find anything in the kitchen (or anywhere else) we were missing! The owner speaks super English.
The kitchen could do with a bit of freshening up - it looks a bit tatty and old (oven seems to be falling out and cupboards are pretty musty smelling).
The two main bedrooms have baths with a shower head but no shower curtain/screen so water always went everywhere!

Ein schönes geräumiges Haus in abgelegener Lage mit tollem Ausblick und eigenem Pool.
Bäder: nur eines mit Dusche, die anderen mit Badewanne aber ohne Duschvorhang, was zur Folge hatte, dass das Bad regelmäßig nass wurde.
