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 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 choice of restaurants, shops and bars.

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.
