La Maremma è una terra amara venuta dal mare.
Here stands Casa Cometa, an elegant farmhouse located on the coast between Marina di Grosseto and Principina a Mare. Spread over two floors and surrounded by an expansive garden, the Casa opens onto five-metre-high ceilings, large windows, traces of ancient ruins, curated design, and site-specific artistic interventions.

The Garden
A shaded garden surrounds Casa Cometa. Here, a large al fresco table anchors life outdoors. Ideal for long lunches, wine tastings, 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.
The Surroundings
Casa Cometa sits within a vast agricultural estate, nestled in the Pineta – one of Maremma’s most iconic landscapes. This coastal pine forest forms a shaded, fragrant corridor along the coast, home to deer, foxes, wild boars, and countless birds. Walking or cycling from the Casa through the Pineta toward the sea becomes a sensory journey.
From here, guests can continue exploring the surroundings by bike or car. A curated selection of our favourite places and local addresses is available upon request, alongside a range of additional experiences to complement your stay.
