The name of this town points to Etruscan-Roman origins, but it was not until the Mediaeval period that it enjoyed some degree of importance with the building of a castle to control the Ambra Valley.
Given its strategic position on the main communication link between Valdarno and Siena, a well populated and industrious centre grew up round the original military post.
At Bucine there is tourist accommodation available in hotels, agriturismos, residence self-catering accommodation, b&b, rooms for rent, holiday homes, camp sites and tourist villages.
