Lupaia

Not only is the space, so inviting and wonderful the service is beyond anything you could imagine! It is likely the most loveliest place to experience Tuscany! Their experiences are well worth the inves**ent as well!

From the minute we arrived the Staff was over the top in service. This charming boutique hotel was everything plus more. The post card views of the city of Montipulciano during the day and night are amazing. The pool and spa area are beautiful. The food was outstanding. We did the wine tasting and Daniel was very knowledgeable educating us on the wine region. You must stay here it's a one of a kind experience. We will definitely return soon, Thank you Lupaia - we can't say enough good things about our stay!!!!

Lupaia is unlike any place we've ever stayed. There's luxury... and then there's Lupaia. I'm honestly hesitant to write a review because selfishly, I want to keep this gem one of my husband and my secrets. There isn't a single thing about Lupaia we didn't love... the room had INCREDIBLE views on every side. The bed was comfortable. Every single amenity imaginable was thought of. The grounds were gorgeous. The team treated us like family. We stayed at some amazing places in Italy, but Lupaia was the only one we were seriously SAD to leave. We've already told friends we need to go back with them. There's just a magic there in everything they do. Constantly surprising us with touches that made us feel so welcome and cared for. Thank you, Team Lupaia, for our wonderful stay -- our only regret is that it wasn't longer!

I don't typically write negative reviews, but a balanced review would be helpful for anyone considering a stay at Lupaia. If I had known the following, we would not have stayed here. We were very much looking forward to our stay at Lupaia, but it was the low point of our almost 3 week trip to Italy. Sadly, it lacks the warmth of Italian hospitality we have found at all other hotels we have ever stayed at in Italy, including city hotels. I don't fault the people working there, they were obviously trying very hard to do their job well. Instead, it obviously originates with the ownership management practices and trickles down from there. Pros: Food: was the standout positive for the stay and for which I have given a star. We dined here one evening and each course was truly delectable. Andrea was in the kitchen that evening, as well as Giselle. One afternoon, we participated in a prearranged private cooking class with Giselle. She was a very good teacher for both my novice husband as well as myself, an experienced cook. The class was well prepared, flowed smoothly and we thoroughly enjoyed everything we made. ***one thing to note, this is a "private 2 person class" for a set price even if only 1 person wants to participate. I had hoped to join a class with another guest, but they do not provide that option. As a result, my husband agreed to join me instead. View: we reserved a "Panoramic View" suite (Suite Montepulciano) and the view of Montepulciano was beautiful (the only positive about our accommodations) Cons: Room: while the view was beautiful, the room was rustic, very damp (even though it was a 2nd floor room) and had bugs. When we were shown to our room, we were given an apparatus to plug into the wall to "help with the bugs". We didn't use it being uncertain what the emitted chemical might be. We were told it was being provided because of the rain prior to our arrival. During our entire stay we did not experience any mosquitos (if that was the concern) anywhere, even while sitting outside on our porch. But we did see spiders and centipedes in our room. As stated before, our room was very damp. We were traveling for 3 weeks, so I was doing some hand washing of items along the way. I washed my yoga pants, towel dried them and hung them openly in our living room. Over the course of 3 days, they did not dry (elsewhere, they dried overnight) Private Onsite Wine Tasting: I do not recommend scheduling their private wine tasting in their cantina. We enjoy wine and were looking forward to learning more about the wines from Montepulciano especially given the location. The 5 wines offered were very simple wines, only 1 of which was from Montepulciano. In addition, the gentleman conducting the tasting was not able to answer many of our questions. Instead of this tasting, I would recommend a tasting either in the town of Montepulciano or at the Enoteca la Fortezza in Montalcino. You can refer to my review for the Enotec

We happened upon this jewel as a referral from a friend. From the moment we arrived until the moment we departed we were in awe of this property. Being in the hospitality and events industry myself, I am sometimes hard to impress but from the staff, to the guest rooms and special touches (they thought of everything) , the meticulously kept grounds (the pool, the incredible views, the beautiful bar and restaurant, etc), and the amazing dining experience, this may have been the best stay of my 30+ years of traveling. My husband and I enjoyed most everything Lupaia had to offer and the staff was there to be sure we were well taken care of. They make everyone feel special and are there when needed. We went wine tasting, drove to the nearby towns and it was a fabulous adventure. We are already discussing our next trip back, 3 days was not enough! Thank you to Fabio, Christine, Emma, Silvio, Daniel and the entire staff...job well done.

We had a very nice stay at Lupaia. The setting is just beautiful with views of the green hills of Tuscany tucked right between Montepulciano and Montefollonico. The staff were friendly and attentive, and gave great recommendations and assisted with last minute winery bookings. We booked a junior suite which was very spacious and had views in every direction. The food was also very good - we ate dinner one night at the restaurant, and breakfast both mornings. We would absolutely return to Lupaia if ever heading back to Tuscany.

The property was magical! Every minute detail was thought through! We were warmly welcomed by Paola upon arrival. The suite was beautifully decorated and welcoming with stunning 360 degree views. The gardens were gorgeous with their many varieties of blooms. Every single member of staff (and the owners) showed hospitality and genuine warmth. The food was incredible and breakfast portions ideal so that we could try as many items as we liked on the menu. We loved the sunny disposition of Emma. The restaurant manager, Daniel and Silvio (who makes wonderful *****ni cocktails) and served us each evening connect well with guests in a non-obtrusive manner. It was a perfect close to our annual Italian holiday!

Our stay at Lupaia was true perfection. It surpassed our stay at St. Regis Venice in every way. The beauty of the property leaves you stunned. At checkin, you are greeted with a welcome drink while your bags are delivered to your room. Our room was a true Tuscan dream with the most amazing bed and linens. Lupaia has their own chef and uses all local ingredients. We chose the 4 course dinner every evening, and each meal was delicious. The local wines offered were always on point. The staff is what makes Lupaia so special. The small details wowed us, and wished we could have stayed longer. A big thank you to Fabio, Silvio, and Emma for their impeccable service. We are already planning to return for our 30th wedding anniversary and want to share this special place with our family.
