Lupaia

This was without a doubt one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The rooms are incredible, so spacious with great amenities such as a Dyson hairdryer. The location is beautiful with amazing views of the countryside and it’s such a peaceful environment. The service was top tier; the staff are all so welcoming and accommodating which makes the stay feel a lot more personal. We stayed here for four nights and had dinner each night and the food was consistently incredible. The pool area is lovely and the service there was also to such a high standard. The grounds are gorgeous with no shortage of nice areas to sit and just take in the atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

The task was to find somewhere to stay in the "rolling hills of Tuscany". Somewhere to stay is simplistic because Lupaia is extraordinary. A Luxury Small Hotels of the World member lives up to the expectation and more. Located outside of Montepulciano the buildings of Lupaia are rural in presentation but internally are very well appointed. Dining and wine selections are excellent. Breakfast service run by Emma is precision, well serviced A la Carte but disarming to start your day off in a gentle frame of mind. The pool area is set below the main structures to provide both a serene place to relax but also a surreal vista of the best of southern Tuscany. What I found exceptional were the staff. Staff that enjoy their work immensely and are happy just flows through everything that is provided to a visitor, nothing is done without care, consideration and you as the priority. I feel unsettled to mention individuals because as I said every staff member treats a visitor so well. Having said that, Christine that introduced us to Lupaia on arrival XXX , Lou an intern from the US on short term assignment thank you so much for looking after us at dinner, you are wonderful XXX and Andrea who provided detailed information on our wine selections, could not have tasted and enjoyed without your knowledge of Tuscan wines. So a simple question...do you go to Lupaia? Simple answer...YES

Lupaia is located in the breathtakingly beautiful southern Tuscan countryside outside of Montepulciano. It is close to many wonderful towns - Montepulciano, Pienza and Cortona, but also smaller villages that are fun to spontaneously explore. The staff could not have been more lovely and accommodating, from the front desk/concierge to the wait staff and housekeeping staff. The breakfast was delicious, and my husband and I enjoyed dinner on site two or our three nights. The menu was different each night, and delicious, making use of ingredients produced on site or very nearby. The wine list, both by the glass and by the bottle, was also very well chosen. We enjoyed trying different wines from the various Tuscan winemaking regions. We appreciated this on-site dinner option, as one does not want to drive far on the picturesque but narrow and twisty rural roads after dark (or after a couple of glasses of wine!). Our room, Nido, classified as a junior suite, was spacious and comfortable. The views from the property are gorgeous in every direction. And we loved having a pool to come back to in the hot hot afternoons.||Our room, Nido, while very spacious and comfortable, was I believe the only room without its own terrace. There may have been others, but we didn't see them. There are many public spaces for guests, but on two of the three evenings we were there, there was a (small, discrete) wedding in the large common outdoor space, which also happened to be the only shady, breezy outdoor space on very hot evenings. Not wanting to disturb the nuptials, we unsuccessfully sought out alternatives. We would have liked to have our own private space to enjoy the evening. I chose our room, and it was exceptionally hot when we were there, but after staying at Lupaia I would recommend booking a room with private outdoor space.

This is the most idyllic place we have stayed at. It is a boutique hotel that is also a retreat. The views are genuinely stunning and the hotel has managed to combine an authentic rustic informality with the highest standards of service, dining and accommodation. The staff are attentive to your every need and work hard to deliver a friendly, relaxed and respectful standard of service. They really have thought of everything. A welcome glass of prosecco on arrival and a thoughtful parting gift on departure bookended what was a dreamlike break. The only word of caution would be to drivers who need to brave the somewhat adventurous 3.5km narrow unfinished track leading to the hotel !

The stars are for the beautiful hotel, lovely gardens and the wonderful wine pairing. However, we were served a main course at this Michelin restaurant that had its main ingredient being soy drenched tofu. Tofu! In Tuscany…. Who thought that was a good idea? Replacing a meat dish with tofu when requested for a vegetarian course in a Michelin restaurant in Tuscany is not just blasphemy but downright lazy. Please never do that again to any customer who came to taste something special

Truly one of the most magical and unique properties we’ve visited. Perched on the hill in a Tuscan fairytale setting, Lupaia marries luxury with boutique intimacy. The grounds were stunning, the food was exceptional and the service was so warm and friendly. The hotel has an enviable location overlooking medieval hilltop towns, curvy Cyprus roads and rolling hills. When walking around the 400 year old estate, you’re inundated with smells of Jasmin and rosemary, crazy birdsong and the most serene Tuscan breeze. I cannot recommend this hotel enough! It’s truly so special.

From the welcome drink to check out this hotel is 5 star. The service is amazing and the staff really cares and is very personable and respectful. Every detail is handled. The food is incredible and so fresh and fresh and obviously the best ingredients. It is so intimate you can enjoy the time with your loved one. The pool is amazing as well. I enjoy the dirt road entrance and the first time to drive it with anticipation. We reviewed so many pictures and they do not do this hotel justice. It is beyond your imagination.

We celebrated our wedding at Lupaia last year in an intimate setting with 21 guests, and it truly couldn’t have been more perfect. We rented the entire property exclusively for several nights, and from start to finish, everything ran seamlessly. The Lupaia team played a key role in making our dream wedding come true. They were incredibly well-organized, warm, and attentive to every detail. We felt fully supported throughout, and their professionalism combined with genuine care made all the difference. It’s rare to find a place and a team that come together in such harmony — but Lupaia is just that kind of hideaway. We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful or heartfelt celebration. Thank you for making our dream a reality — 100%!

We stayed at Lupaia on our Honeymoon and it was PERFECT!!! The head chef Andrea cooked us amazing meals each night. The staff is all wonderful and polite. The pool is amazing and the views all over the property are phenomenal. Definitely recommend renting a car and driving around to the nearby towns. .
