Property Information
La Volpaia is situated in a olive grove just above the village of Buti. Buti is a comune in the Province of Pisa in the Italian region Tuscany, located about 10 km east of Pisa, 12 km south of Lucca and 50 kilometres west of Florence.
Essential shops, bakeries, and restaurants are located in Buti, just 1.5 km away. On Monday mornings, the town’s Piazza Garibaldi hosts a lively local market where you can shop for fresh produce and artisanal products. A larger supermarket is just 5 km away, and several acclaimed local restaurants, including Al Vecchio Molino and Trattoria Pacci, invite you to savor authentic Tuscan cuisine.
Explore the rich history and natural beauty of the region. Buti, with its medieval charm, is home to Castel Tonini, the Romanesque Church of San Francesco, and the Medici Villa. Visitors can walk the scenic "via dei Molini" to Santa Maria delle Nevi or venture further to the nature trails of Monte Pisano’s pine and chestnut forests. The Monti Pisani offers a network of excellent walking and mountain biking trails, providing an ideal opportunity to explore Tuscany's natural beauty on foot or by bike. For a more cultural experience, visit Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli, Lucca’s ancient city walls, or the thermal spas of Montecatini.
