Access road:
Please note that the road from Buti to the house (in total 1,5 km) has 500
meters of steep road with 3 hairpin turns and 900 meters of gravel road. So
we don't suggest to come with sport cars or caravans. Except Ferrari and
other similar sports cars, no problem to ride up with other cars. The road
is one lane for 700 meters and narrower for the last 200 meters. If you
cross another car, one of those must return to the first available space.
The road is used by the owners / guests of 5 houses, so it is a road with
little traffic. The driver must have a minimum of familiarity with the car
maneuvers.
