This Austrian couple have transformed five farmhouses into a timeless Tuscan retreat<\/h3>\nC<\/span>elebrating its 400th<\/sup> birthday this year, Lupaia<\/a> is a nature-based agriturismo set within the vineyards and olive groves of the Sienese countryside. Though relatively late to the 17th<\/sup> century party, Christopher and his wife Heidi have worked wonders on the former goat farmhouses since taking over the ancient estate in 2016.<\/p>\n

Sensitively restoring the centuries-old complex of outhouses which date back to 1622, the couple have cleverly elevated period features like exposed beams, traditional tiles, and rustic fireplaces to bring Lupaia\u2019s agricultural heritage to life. So often the heart of the home, Lupaia\u2019s open, tile-backed kitchen has a \u2018whatever you want, whenever you want\u2019 serving style, where guests are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and cook Italian classics alongside the chefs. Idyllic as it is immersive, the Lupaia experience is all about slowing down and enjoying life\u2019s simple pleasures.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”flickity_static_height_style” images=”16923,16927,16922,16925,16921,16924,16926″ flickity_spacing=”default” flickity_controls=”next_prev_arrows_overlaid” flickity_overflow=”visible” flickity_wrap_around=”wrap” flickity_box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” onclick=”link_no”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]\n

What does being \u2018Independently Minded\u2019 as a hotel owner mean to you?<\/h3>\n

Coming from previous careers in the corporate world, as hoteliers and owners we now enjoy the freedom of making decisions quickly, efficiently, and easily. We are hoteliers by passion: we cherish every day because we do what we have always wanted to do. We have travelled a lot, and the whole experience at Lupaia is based on what we would be looking for in our perfect hotel.<\/p>\n

What was the inspiration behind the hotel, and where do you continue to find sources of inspiration?<\/h3>\n

We were extremely lucky to have found this Tuscan farm estate which dates back to 1622, and is laid out like a little village, with lots of privacy in the midst of nature. The idea was to create a hotel that didn\u2019t feel like a hotel. Guests should feel at home, yet everything they desire is taken care of. That\u2019s why there are no kitchen hours or designated places where we serve food or drinks \u2013 this is possible anywhere on property, at any time of the day. The first rule for our staff is that the answer to a guest\u2019s request can never be \u201cno\u201d \u2013 we empower everyone to be creative and find a solution. In our downtime, we continue to travel around the world and bring the best ideas home.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”16928″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”16929″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”center” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”small_modern” color=”Default” quote=”The idea was to create a hotel that didn\u2019t feel like a hotel.

How do you think your hotel stands apart from other luxury hotels?<\/h3>\n

Size does make a difference. Having only 12 rooms and suites allows us to provide a very personal service and to remember our guests\u2019 preferences. We have all the facilities of a larger resort, but the intimacy and tranquillity of our quiet little hilltop hideaway makes it a unique experience.<\/p>\n

If you only had 24 hours to get a taste for your hotel experience, what would you recommend a guest\u00a0must<\/em>\u00a0do?<\/h3>\n

Our \u2018Sunset Negroni Experience\u2019 is something we created for truly memorable moments. There is a little hidden pergola on the edge of our fields overlooking the valley and town of Montepulciano. A private barman leads our guests there for a private cocktail experience, where he will mix Negronis for them, while Montepulciano is aglow in the red evening sun. This is the essence of Lupaia and gives guests a true taste of Tuscany<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”16930″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]\n

How would you describe your own perfect luxury experience?<\/h3>\n

Service that is not obtrusive but anticipates guests\u2019 needs. Staff that are dedicated and personable and who will go beyond the call of duty. A room that is comfortable, and makes you feel at home, while providing all the luxury amenities. A restaurant that serves excellent food, made with the best local, seasonal ingredients. And unique experiences, rooted in the region or destination that I will remember for a long time to come.<\/p>\n

Do you have a vision for the future of the hotel?<\/h3>\n

We continue to invest in the property, and every year brings new services and little improvements for our guests. Joining SLH after six years of operation makes us feel really proud and has provided a great boost of motivation to the whole team. We don\u2019t want to grow the number of rooms, but provide an unforgettable experience that creates lasting memories for our guests.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”16931″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#f4f4f4″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”-20″ bottom_padding=”0″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” class=”c2-row” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_color=”#000000″ shape_divider_position=”top” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”straight_section” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”0px” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”bottom” column_margin=”none” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bottom_padding=”30″ bottom_padding_tablet=”20″ text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” class=”c2-inner-row” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”5px” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”small_desktop” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text el_class=”c2-heading”]\n
