Comitissa is found in the hills above Lucca in a peaceful location with beautiful views across the valley and Abetone mountains beyond. The house is an old restored hay barn extended to make a large family home and is completely private.
Built on a slope Comitissa has two floors both accessed from ground level, all of the rooms of the house face the direction of the valley views and with the open aspect of the house there is a vista wherever you turn. In the grounds there is a large pool with good views.
The upper level consists of two double bedrooms, one twin and a single that converts comfortably into a twin and three bathrooms. The simple and comfortable furnishings allow for ample wardrobe space.
The large main bedroom was once the hayloft and has an en-suite bathroom with tub. There are large windows with typical thin terracotta bricks across protecting the room from the sun; this rustic finishing on the window makes the room shady while still allowing you to enjoy the magnificent views.
The lower floor consists of a kitchen and an open plan lounge area with large fireplace and dining area and a WC. The old stone walled room has four sets of double patio doors that open onto a huge terrace and views beyond giving the room a bright and open feeling.
The terrace is part covered and part open and decorated with seasonal flowers allowing you to enjoy the open views and peace and quiet of the valley. The terrace leads down into a mature garden with sloped lawns, the property has a boarder fence.
To prepare your Tuscan meal you will need a Tuscan kitchen and La Comitissa has a typical country style Tuscan kitchen. The centre piece is a large fire place for grilling meat on the glowing embers of the oak wood fire, there is ample dining space here in addition to the main dining area.
The riverside town of Aquilea, is about a 4km drive through dense woodlands, down a steep but quiet country road decorated with elegant villas of a bygone age. Here you will find a grocery and a café.
There are wonderful walks in the immediate vicinity of Comitissa and within a 20-minute drive you can access three National Parks and the craggy hills and mountains of the Abetone Alps while, for a complete contrast, you can get to the coast in just over an hour. For cultural interest, the town of Lucca is only about half an hour away, while Pisa and Florence are within easy reach for a day’s outing.
From all the windows there are excellent views
There is a free WIFI Internet connection. Bring your own computer.
The large terrace is ideal for outdoor meals
The staircase is not suitable for small kids
Pool Info
Just below the villa, the crystal clear swimming pool of La Comitissa sparkles in the sun. It is ideal for passing a relaxing day under the Tuscan sun while admiring the wonderful views of the forested hills.
The pool is surounded by sunbeds and umbrellas, to one side there is a covered pergola with a table and chairs for outdoor dining.

Wir waren zwei Familien mit älteren Kindern, die eine Woche in La Comitissa verbracht haben. Es ist ein wunderschönes und sauberes Haus mit einem genialen Blick auf die toscanischen Berge. Der Pool ist groß und sauber und wurde täglich gereinigt. Die Eigentümerin war per WhatsApp erreichbar und enorm hilfreich bei allen Fragen die wir hatten. Der Weg dahin ist mühsam aber machbar, sogar mit großen Autos. Es war eine sehr erholsame und schöne Woche und ist sehr zu empfehlen. Danke!

The most beautiful villa in a fabulous location. The views were outstanding: it was quiet and peaceful and my grandsons loved discovering the wildlife (lizards, bats, fireflies etc). The pool is excellent and the whole property is obviously very well maintained. The only partial negative is the 'scary' road to the house. However, the upside was that it was totally private.
We travelled with two daughters, their partners and two grandsons. The others visited several places but my husband and I mostly stayed put and enjoyed the tranquility and the beauty of La Comitissa. However, we all visited Lucca and Pisa. We'd not been to Lucca before, but we loved it, and it's very accessible from the house.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The riverside town of Ponte a Moriano is a 4 km drive through the countryside down a steep but quiet road decorated with elegant villas of a bygone era. Here you will find a choice of restaurants (Ristorante da Erasmo, Antica Locanda di Sesto), shops and bars. The closest supermarket is Esselunga in Marlia (5 minutes from Ponte a Moriano and 20 minutes from the house) on one of the main roundabouts of the SS 12 (Strada Statale del Brennero).
