The house of memories: a plunge into nature and the past

We had a great family holiday travelling with ages from 5-74 who all had a great time! The pool is brilliant and the surroundings are stunning. The house is quirky but charming and is well equipped. Buti itself is beautiful and is a great place to spend some time eating and drinking. The only consideration when booking would be the accessibility as the road from Buti to the property requires a robust car that isn't too long and a very confident driver. Communication prior to and during our stay was brilliant!

We had a very nice vacation in this house. Nice authentic feel and beautiful restored. Great pool area and the estate it self was great as Well.

Beautiful, peaceful location and amazing house and pool. Local village is traditional with a vibrant community and great restaurants and bars. The fitness levels improved as a steep but picturesque walk back to the house. Plumbing system is lively! Ana was very helpful and quick to answer any questions. Fabulous holiday.

We enjoyed our stay very much - it was, as described, a traditional Tuscan farmhouse full of Italian character. The pool was the highlight - amazing! Large and so clean surrounded by the olive grove and pine trees. We also liked Buti, very traditional with few tourists and we were welcomed in all shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. The only downside (assuming you're looking for character rather than a 'spotless' villa) is the 400m lane - make sure your hire car is the right choice, small & 'high' but with a powerful enough engine for hills - and no nervous drivers!

it was a lovely house with a lot of atmosphere. the park was fantastic with olive trees and nice flowers. nice big pool. The access road to the house is under all criticism. with big holes in the road. it requires that you drive in a tall car. We were not aware of the nature of the road.

We stayed 8 people at the villa for 2 weeks and we had a lovely time. Anna is a gracious host, who was very attentive to our needs. There’s 3 bedrooms and a landing with two single beds, which suited or two youngest boys. There is a fine kitchen with room for several people making food, and it comes with all kitchen bits you will need. Then there are 4 living rooms, so if you need alone time - no problem! The out door areas are the real charm!!! The loggia and terrace on the east side of the house is big and has lovely furniture for both dining and relaxing. This is also where the huge stone fireplace bbq is placed. The beautiful pool is placed up the hill on the west side of the villa. Here you’ll find a loggia with a dining table and chairs, sun loungers and easy chairs. The pool is fantastic, 7x13 meters and more than 2 meters deep in one end. The cleaning system keeps it super at all times without stinking from chlorine. Such an amazing area with more great views of the valley and mountains. It must be mentioned that Buti is a genuine Italian village with hardly any tourists. There is several great restaurants, bars, ice creams and other little shops. It is 800 meters down the hill to the piazza on a dirt track. We can highly recommend staying at this wonderful and authentic place.
