The villa
lies in a beautiful area of the Tuscany, surrounded by olive grove hills and
green thick woods of pine trees; near to the most important art city of the
region (Florence, Voters, San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca) and to the Versilia
coast. The location and altitude of about 300m on the sea level, guarants a
mild and agreeable climate in every season. It lies 1,9 km from the town of
Buti in a perfect location for those who seek quiet and privacy. The
building is an old farmhouse of the XVII and XVIII century that we partially
restored with a special attention for the original materials (terracotta,
wood, stone
) and furnished with ancient furniture of the Tuscany tradition.
The ground floor consists of a beautiful entrance, a large kitchen (oven,
gas hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine), two large living
rooms en suite with separate dining room, with an old fireplace in each room
and a also a guest toilet on this floor. From the ground floor you have
access to the terrace which is partly covered with pergola, it's equipped
with table and chairs (from here you have a great panoramic view). To cook
also at disposition a barbecue. A staircase leads to the first floor where
you enter into a huge living room with two large windows from where there
are views of the valley and the town. The living room leads to two bedrooms
with double beds, a bedroom with double bed and the possibility of an extra

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.
