Romance

A Tuscan hideaway between Montepulciano and Pienza, where the rhythm slows and Tuscany lets you breathe in its quiet, natural beauty.

📍Montepulciano

Tucked between Montepulciano and Pienza, Lupaia is a tiny hamlet reborn — a hilltop cluster of stone houses surrounded by vineyards, lavender, and views that seem to soften the entire world. It is one of those rare places that strike you instantly: crafted, intimate, and deeply connected to the landscape.

Every space feels personal. Hand-painted walls, terracotta floors, fireplaces, soft linens, and terraces opening onto the Val d’Orcia create a feeling that goes far beyond a luxury stay. Lupaia is where discerning travellers come to slow down, savour Tuscan life at its gentlest pace, and enjoy a seamless blend of rustic character and refined comfort.
