Villa Aperitivo, Romantic and Panoramic Stone Farmhouse with Private Swimming Pool on the Hills of Lucca close to Lucca, Pisa and the Compitese area
You’ll be welcomed to Villa Aperitivo by a traditional atmosphere of the times gone by. Start each morning of your holiday with a refreshing bath in the private swimming pool in front of the stone house, finish with a glass of wine on the four poster sunbed with panoramic view over the Compitese hills, and, in between, enjoy amenities like a TV, Wi-Fi and a fully equipped kitchen. The house is also partially air-conditioned (bedrooms only).
The villa is a private farmhouse retreat bursting with charm and character. Step through its stone façade and into beautifully restored interiors with classic cotto floors, beamed ceilings and antique accent pieces. But there are playful touches of modern decor as well to make the Italian charm contemporary and luxury.
Named after the most beloved Italian state of mind -the Aperitif Time- Villa Aperitivo will impress its guests with its ideal lounge features: a view, luxury outdoor furniture, a fully equipped kitchen by the pool and a second kitchen by the outdoor dining area.
Tucked by the fairytale hilltop village of San Ginese di Compito, just 8 kms south of Lucca, Villa Aperitivo is the perfect base from which to delve into Tuscany’s culture and cuisine.

Lovely, authentic Tuscan villa, where we felt right at home. Very quiet surroundings. The house was very clean and the kitchen is well equipped. The pool is very nice and a great way to cool off when coming back from the trips in the area. Our host, Filippo, was very kind and helpful. Communicating via WhatsApp was very easy. When we asked for a parasol, one was there the next day :-)In summary, we highly recommend the villa and the host. We'd love to come back.

Dear Petra,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled that you felt right at home at Villa Aperitivo and fully enjoyed its authentic Tuscan charm and peaceful surroundings.
It is fantastic to picture you relaxing and cooling off in the pool after your daily adventures exploring the area. Filippo was also deeply touched by your kind words! Ensuring our guests feel supported and comfortable is our top priority, and he was more than happy to quickly organize the parasol so you could make the absolute most of your time by the water.
Thank you for your high recommendation. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for another beautiful Tuscan getaway in the future!
A presto!

Thank you for the stay!
We had a great stay with 8 people at Villa Aperitivo. The place is exactly as advertised and the communication with Daniela was very pleasant.I would advise to rent a car if you want to visit some villages in the neighbourhood.The pool is nice, surroundings are quite and the view stunning.

Thank you for an incredible stay, we will be back!
Our stay was above and beyond our expectations! Filippo was a fantastic host, very helpful and kind - the home is exactly as pictured, with a pharmacy and grocery store nearby. 15 min cabbus ride to the Lucca city centre, despite being in a more remote area it was very easy to get around even without a vehicle.

Would love to be here every year...
What a magical property! The birds and church bells made our weekend mornings great!
We had a wonderful week with friends at the villa. It really is beautifully decorated inside and has lovely soft furnishings throughout the villa. The kitchen is very well equipped and it's all very spacious so perfect for the 8 people we were.The real attraction of the villa for us was the pool and outdoor space and the pool certainly got a lot of use! It was perfectly maintained with someone coming to check the chlorine levels and top it up so it was always in perfect condition. There was a large table for 8 people outside and several loungers and a day bed. We always managed to move things round to get some shade as the sun moved as it was really hot during our visit.A hire car is a must and there are lots of little villages to explore. The nearest supermarket is just 3 minutes away by car and there are good restaurants less than 10 minutes drive from the villa. The local bus remained a mystery with only 2 or 3 busses a day apparently and no busses after 8pm according to a taxi driver we met so I wouldn't rely on using the bus.The check in process could not have been easier with Filippo coming to meet us and explain everything. He was in regular contact and could answer all our questions.It was a lovely week for us all and we'd love to go back!

Dear Craig,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful and detailed review!
We are absolutely thrilled that you and your friends loved the villa, enjoyed the pool to the fullest, and had a smooth check-in experience with Filippo. Your kind words about the decor and outdoor space truly mean the world to us.
It was a real pleasure hosting your group, and we would love to welcome you all back anytime for another sunny getaway!
Arrivederci.
Excellent Family-Friendly Stay - Highly Recommended!
The house is very large and spacious. Everything is very clean and comfortable. It feels very homey. We stayed with children and the pool was really convenient. What a delightful house - located in the center of town yet incredibly quiet. We would be very happy to return again!
A parasol in the pool would help. Thant's it!

Beautiful house very well decorated. Easy to feel like home. Lots of equipments especially the kitchen. Good location: we’ve reached in less than an hour Florence, Pisa, Montecatini, Forte dei Marmi and of course Lucca. Was a family week, mixing all generations, and everybody had a blast.

Stunning in every way
The Villa is just stunning, so beautiful. We had such a wonderful holiday and Daniela was so helpful. You definitely need a car to be able to appreciate the beautiful area and what it has to offer. We loved it thank you, wonderful memories made x I would suggest a welcome pack on arrival with just some basic local products. We have had this before at other Villas and was very welcoming.

Lovely villa with great amenities.
Lovely villa with great amenities. House manager was flexible with check in and out times which was very helpful. The location is good although fairly close to the road which can be heard from the villa. We didn’t know how to work the A/C on the first floor but we used the fans instead. Supermarket, farmacy, shops etc only a short drive away which is handy.

Thank you
Loved the Villa, and it is located right by a bus stop which made visiting Lucca, Pisa and Florence much easier than expected!
Key collection was easy, however checking in online was perhaps more difficult than necessary. I would suggest reducing this to ID photographs and key collection only.
The Villa itself is as beautiful as the photos show!

Beautiful Villa in the coutryside
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful villa tucked in the countryside just outside Lucca. The Villa had a great little pool which we made the most of every day and there was plenty of space for us to relax, cook and have a lovely holiday together as a family. It was clean and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. Being set back from the road, up a steep hill, means the view across the Tuscan hills from the the back of the villa and garden was wonderful. Our welcome host was kind and friendly and was on hand if we needed anything. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Home away from home
I loved the authenticity of the decor and setting. Because I was a woman traveling alone with various guests joining me at different times, it was imperative that I feel safe. There was never a time that I felt uncomfortable sleeping with all windows wide open at night in order to maximize the cool night breezes. The private country setting allowed me to unwind from my adventure packed days. I stayed there for 30 continuous days and my guests all said the villa was their favorite part of their Tuscany experience .
The recycling demands were a pain and stressful to foreigners. We tried hard but the language barrier made it hard for us to understand the various rules.
The bathroom situation is not optimal. Luckily my guests and I were fit enough to navigate the stairs up and down for nighttime bathroom visits.
For your guests a clothes dryer would be helpful, very often our laundry did not completely dry during the day on the clothes racks and had to be moved inside.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the authentic decor and felt safe throughout your stay. It's wonderful that the private country setting provided a relaxing retreat for you and your guests, making it a standout highlight of your Tuscany experience. Thank you for choosing us for your 30-day stay!
We understand that recycling requirements can be challenging, especially for foreigners, and we apologize for any stress caused. We'll work on improving communication and providing clearer instructions. Regarding the bathroom situation and laundry concerns, we appreciate your input and will explore options to enhance guest comfort. Your comments are valuable, and we strive to make necessary improvements for a more enjoyable stay and look forward to welcome you back again soon for another amazing experience. A presto!
We throughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Aperitivo. A well equipped property with everything catered for. Filippo was extremely good in communicating with us before our holiday, meeting us on our arrival, giving us restaurant recommendations and checking all was well on leaving. I would have liked to have walked across to the farm shop that we could see from the villa but couldn’t see a pedestrian path and unfortunately the road didn’t look inviting ! So we took the car !
