Our front door is next to the ancient castle gate and our back door opens onto our terraced olive groves and grapevines. We are approx 60 minutes from Florence and 40 minutes from the sea.

There are 5 excellent restaurants within walking distance with another 5 within 10 minutes by car. The owners live on the property, speak Italian and are available for historic, gastronomic and beach excursions. Buti is a genuine Italian village off the beaten path that has a wonderful small theater (Teatro Francesco Bartolo), and a series of dinners with entertainment (sagre) that are put on by the various neighborhoods (contrade) that culminate in the Palio of San Antonio held each year in January. The Palio is a horserace that is highly anticipated and preceded by a wonderful parade in period costumes. Buti is also well known for the high quality extra virgin olive oil produced here for centuries.

Why the Owner Chose Buti
We chose to buy our home because of the style and location. It is a small village surrounded by lovely countryside, very convenient from the airport in Pisa, close to historic cities, the sea, the mountains. One of our favorite things is that we can park our car and get everywhere on foot, grocery shopping, pharmacy, post office, coffee bar and numerous nice restaurants. Also out the door are great hikes and bike rides!
The Unique Benefits at this Restored Farmhouse
For us it is a genuine immersion in a small Italian town, people are friendly and open, there is a living farm, food culture. It is peaceful and quiet with the sound of running water always.
Beautifully restored theater named after the first commentator of Dante's Inferno. Francesco Bartolo was born in Buti in the early 1300's.
Owner's Map of Buti
We came to Italy after many years in Santa Fe, NM where we designed and built adobe homes. My grandparents were born in Italy at the turn of the last century, then immigrated to the US. We love ancient architecture, language and culture and decided to change our lives. When we bought this house as a fixer upper it was because of the great location, existing ancient olive groves and vineyards and general ambience. We have become immersed in the rhythm of this village and zone and are happy to share this area with our guests. Diane loves yoga and hiking while I am a passionate road cyclist.
