This quaint little town nestles peacefully in the hills 22 km from Lucca and 28 km east of Pisa. Culturally Buti has not much to offer but the atmosphere in the town is authentic and surprisingly enough the mass tourism of the neighbouring towns has had very little effect here.
A huge amount of olive trees grow in the hills around Buti and some of Italy’s (and therefore the world’s) best olive oil is produced here. There is plenty of choice of cafés, restaurants and pizzerias in the town, so if you are only here for a week there’s no need to dine at the same place twice.
