Lupaia, a country estate in the heart of Tuscany, lays on foundations more than a thousand years old, with the main house and annex dating back to 1622.
The owners, an Austrian family who also manage the inn, have created an intimate and romantic hideaway with splendid views of medieval villages, vineyards and olive groves.
