La Pergola - 4 bedroom villa in Olive grove, amazing views, walk to Buti
The property has been carefully renovated using original materials such as exposed brick, natural stone and wooden beams, and is furnished with antique pieces in keeping with the local tradition. The result is an authentic Tuscan villa that blends historic character with modern comfort, making it an ideal choice for families or small groups looking for a peaceful countryside retreat with easy access to Tuscany’s most famous towns.
One of the most special aspects of staying at La Pergola is the exceptional private dining experience available to guests. The owner is friends with a neighbour who runs an exclusive private restaurant located just a few minutes’ drive away and also within walking distance. Guests can arrange for freshly cooked meals to be prepared and delivered directly to the villa, enjoy private dinners hosted at the chef’s intimate restaurant space, or take part in hands-on Tuscan cooking lessons. This highly regarded service offers a truly authentic and memorable way to experience local cuisine without leaving the comfort of your holiday home.
Inside, the villa is arranged over two floors. On the ground floor there is a well-equipped modern kitchen, a dining room with a traditional open fireplace, a bedroom with two single beds, and a bathroom with shower. Upstairs you will find a master bedroom with en-suite toilet, a single bedroom, and a large bedroom with a double bed and an additional single bed that opens onto a small private terrace. There is also a family bathroom with bathtub. An additional terrace provides a lovely spot for sunbathing and relaxing while enjoying the views.
Outside, La Pergola is set within a terraced, fully fenced garden, making it suitable for guests travelling with dogs. A 10 x 4 metre private swimming pool is reserved exclusively for guests and is surrounded by a pleasant sunbathing area. At the front of the house, a large pergola shades the main terrace, furnished with table and chairs for outdoor dining. A barbecue and traditional stone pizza oven are also available. From both the pool and the terraces, guests can enjoy fantastic views over the surrounding hills and down towards the village of Buti. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.
The historic village of Buti lies below the villa and can be reached on foot in approximately 2.2 km. Here you will find shops, bars, restaurants and a lively local atmosphere, along with a theatre and all essential services. The area is well known for its excellent olive oil production and its scenic position between the plains and the mountains, with views towards Monte Serra. La Pergola is an ideal base for exploring Tuscany, with easy day trips to Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Volterra, San Gimignano and Certaldo, as well as the Versilia coast with resorts such as Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi. The Ligurian coast, including Lerici and Portovenere, is also within reach.
Access to the villa is via a scenic country road through olive groves, including a gravel section and some narrow stretches with bends. While perfectly manageable for standard vehicles, it is not recommended for caravans, trailers or very low sports cars. The road is used by only a handful of properties and has very little traffic, contributing to the quiet and private setting.
The entire property is for exclusive use. The pool is open from mid May to end of September, with earlier opening possible on request. Arrival services such as freshly cooked meals and pre-ordered food shopping can be arranged. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement, with a small additional fee.

Property Information
La Pergola is situated in an olive grove just above the village of Buti, in the Province of Pisa, Tuscany. The village lies approximately 10 km east of Pisa, 12 km south of Lucca and around 50 km west of Florence, making the villa an excellent base for exploring both northern and central Tuscany.
Buti is also well known for its strong sense of local tradition and its calendar of lively events throughout the year, which give visitors a real insight into authentic Tuscan village life. The most famous event is the Palio di Buti, a historic horse race held each January, where the different neighbourhoods of the village compete in a celebration that dates back centuries. In the summer months, the atmosphere is more relaxed but equally enjoyable, with food festivals, open-air dinners, music evenings and cultural events taking place in the village squares.
During the warmer season, visitors can often enjoy local sagre celebrating traditional Tuscan dishes and products, including olive oil, pasta and seasonal specialities, accompanied by live music and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Open-air cinema nights, concerts and small theatre performances are also part of village life, reflecting Buti’s long-standing cultural traditions. These events make staying near Buti particularly appealing for guests who enjoy experiencing local customs, good food and a genuine community feel, rather than large-scale tourist attractions.
The location is ideal as a starting point for visiting many of Tuscany’s most beautiful and historic towns, including Lucca and Bagni di Lucca, nearby San Miniato, Pisa, Florence, Volterra, San Gimignano and Certaldo. The Versilia coast is also within easy reach, with popular seaside resorts such as Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, while the Ligurian coast offers stunning coastal villages including Lerici and Portovenere for memorable day trips.
The surrounding area is well known for its high-quality olive oil production and unspoilt countryside. Buti itself is a lively yet traditional Tuscan village with a theatre, a good selection of shops, restaurants and bars, all set within a beautiful landscape. The village sits between the plains to the east and the mountains to the west, enjoying lovely views towards Monte Serra and offering a peaceful atmosphere combined with authentic local life.
