It is a quiet location, offering privacy and relaxation. The historic village of Buti is 1.5 kms walk, where you will find small shops, restaurants and bars. The building is a former farmhouse that has been restored using original materials (brick, wood, stone) and furnished with antique furniture in the tradition of the region.

To reach the villa our guests must drive through the beautiful olive grove on a farmers road. The road is gravel and quite narrow with bends and we do not recommend coming with trailers or caravans or very low down sports cars. The road has little traffic as it is only used by the farmers and 5 other houses. The garden is fully fenced and suitable for dogs.
