Description
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.
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. Nearby sights include Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Siena, Pistoia, Montecatini Terme, Versilia, Forte dei Marmi, Cinque Terre, San Gimignano, Volterra, Bolgheri, Livorno, Bologna, La Spezia and Parma, all between 10 mins and 1 and half hour drive from the Villa. Stroll Lucca’s winding streets, stopping off for honeymoon-worthy dinners or samples of local wine, or drive through the countryside to the great cities of Tuscany and villages around Lucca and Pisa, let our concierge team inspire you.

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 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!

Such an incredible place. Our family had a magical time here. Everything was perfect. Great location not far from Lucca and a 30 minute drive to the sweetest beach town of Forte dei marmi. Across the street there’s a small store that has local oil, cheese, Salumi, wine and pretty much anything else you’ll need. The house is incredible, the decor, the linens. The beds were so comfortable, gorgeous huge bathrooms. Truly everything was perfect. The house was pretty warm during the day with units in each room that don’t really cool..just move the air around. But at night it really cools off so we slept with windows open and the units running. The pool isn’t huge but perfect for cooling off. There’s also a supermarket down the street that also has anything you can’t find in the place across the street. A local pizza place, pizza shalomi was wonderful, the seeetest family runs it. And we had wonderful meals in Lucca. We also bbq’d sausage and made pasta one night. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would ever need! We spent many hours lounging by the pool, reading and resting which was perfect as we had spent the previous 10 days walking and sightseeing elsewhere. We also rented bikes in Lucca and climbed the tower with the garden on top (forget the name). Lots of fun in Lucca with shops, restaurants, and a lively square. The only negatives (very very minor) were the car noise from the road (the house sits high up on the main road). It was not bad and didn’t bother us at all, but wanted to mention it. And the grass was mostly brown (which I totally get is from the area trying to conserve water during a drought). Truly neither were a big deal to us, but just wanted to mention. All in all I cannot say enough good things about villa apperitivo, I hope to be back again and again!

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. 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.
