Casa Cometa
Grosseto, Italy
About Casa Cometa
Hidden among pine and oak trees just a few kilometres inland from the coast between Marina di Grosseto and Principina a Mare, Casa Cometa is a revived farmhouse that whispers old-world Tuscany and contemporary warmth. Once a working barn until the 1950s, it was lovingly restored in 2025 by two cousins who returned to their native Maremma with a shared love for design, heritage, and hospitality.
Accommodation
Casa Cometa counts five double bedrooms, all shaped by an eclectic approach that blends Casa Cometa’s history with 21st-century comforts. Each bedroom is designed to accommodate two guests; additional beds can be arranged upon request.

Getting there
Casa Cometa is best reached by car. The closest airports are Rome Fiumicino (FCO), Pisa (PSA), and Florence (FLR). If you prefer to travel by train, Grosseto is the nearest station. From there, renting a car is strongly recommended in order to reach the house comfortably and explore the surroundings at your own pace.
The property features five double bedrooms, with full access to the shared living spaces, the garden, and the equipped kitchen. On the ground level you’ll find Chitra, the master suite, which offers a king-size bed, a working fireplace and an en-suite bathroom. Upstairs, bedrooms are spread across the upper floors: Vega on the first floor features vintage-style tiles and a bathtub, while rooms like Meissa, Cassiopea and Andromedae pair antique furnishings or reclaimed wallpaper with modern beds and crisp linens.

The Garden
A shaded garden surrounds Casa Cometa. Here, a large al fresco table anchors life outdoors. Ideal to host long lunches and dinners under the stars. Plenty of quite corners invite guests to rest, read, or gather. Lying on the grass beneath the soft, filtered light of the pine trees, carried by the Maestrale breeze, remains a favourite way to pause.
The Ground Floor
Once dedicated to the farm’s agricultural life, the ground floor of Casa Cometa originally housed animal stables, feed rooms, and storage spaces for wine and olive oil. In the 1950s, these generous volumes were elegantly transformed, preserving the vaulted wooden ceilings and the quiet character of a rural property.
At the entrance, an ancient well offers a first glimpse into the house’s layered history. From here, the living room, dining room, and kitchen unfold. The living room is organised around a large fireplace, with seating that invites guests to pause, read, or connect. Tall porte-fenêtres flood the space with natural light and open directly onto the garden. A floor-to-ceiling library filled with books adds further depth and intimacy to the room, alongside a bust of Mr. Ponticelli – an important figure in the history of this house and of the Maremma region. The living room is connected to the convivial dining room, defined by antique wooden storage cabinets and a large central table. An oil painting by a family member and a historic chandelier complete the space.
The Kitchen
The semi-professionally equipped kitchen offers a marble-topped central island, a professional five-burner gas stove, stainless-steel preparation surfaces, and a full range of modern appliances.
It is one of the convivial centres of the Casa. Guests may cook for themselves or request a private chef service. Fresh bread can be delivered each morning, and wine can be ordered directly from our own production. Casa Cometa has an extensive network of chefs and creatives who can tailor menus and formats to your needs.
