Lupaia Wedding Cost (2027): Prices & Capacity

Lupaia is a 12-room hotel made from five restored farmhouses on a private hill between Montepulciano and Pienza, settled by farmers in 1622 and reached by three kilometres of gravel through vineyards and woods. It has a restaurant with an open kitchen, a bar and wine room, a library, an infinity pool and a heated Jacuzzi, and it takes weddings only when one group has the whole place for three nights.

For 2027 that is €23,000 a night for 24 guests in double occupancy, €69,000 for the required three nights with breakfast and taxes included, plus a €5,000 daily food-and-drink minimum that is not cumulative, so the planning floor is €84,000 before the mandatory planner and the suppliers. The wedding ceiling is 36, indoors or out, the hotel sleeps 32 at most, and ceremonies are symbolic. It is the private-hotel weekend for 24 to 32 people who want food, service and the Val d'Orcia more than a big party.

Lupaia is the wedding where the hotel stay is the wedding. Twenty-four to 32 people take over a hilltop hotel with a serious kitchen, eat together for three days, marry in the garden looking toward Montepulciano and dine under the brick vaults, and because the 36-person ceiling applies indoors as well as out, the rain plan is simply the restaurant. Few small Tuscan venues can say that.

The cost is concentrated: €84,000 before a planner, and 24 guests pay almost the same as 32, so it is expensive per head and makes sense only if three days of private-hotel hospitality is the point. A planner is compulsory, food is Lupaia's, 36 is four more than the beds, and the gravel road rules out coaches. For a 30-person wedding that wants to feel like a house party with staff, it has a clearer identity than almost any villa.

A nightly exclusive-use rate for the whole hotel with 24 guests included, three nights minimum, plus a daily food-and-drink minimum met through the hotel's own restaurant and bar. Occupancy above 24 is priced separately.

Planning ranges for three nights with the daily minimums inside the food line, one wedding day, a welcome gathering and a departure meal, planner, photography, florals, light production, music and transfers. They exclude occupancy above 24, off-site rooms, flights, attire and any tent.

Thirty-six is the ceiling for every function, indoors or out; the spaces are the hotel's own rooms and gardens, used as they are.

The hotel itself: ceremonies and dining are allowed indoors for the full 36, so no tent is needed for the number. The question is the sequence, which room takes the ceremony, where drinks happen while dinner is set, and how dancing follows, since the terms do not draw it; ask for one indoor running order. The restaurant is a room you would choose, which is the point.

Twelve rooms and suites across five farmhouses, 24 in double occupancy within the rate, up to 32 with extra beds in the suites and the two-bedroom Master Suite, allocated by access and proximity to the restaurant. At 36 the last four stay nearby.

Food and drink are Lupaia's, from a seasonal Tuscan kitchen and a southern-Tuscany wine list, against the €5,000 daily minimum; confirm what counts toward it. A planner is required for the ceremony, décor, music, flowers and hair, with contacts from the hotel. No music cut-off is stated, so agree the dancing location, sound limits and finish in the contract; the SIAE licence is separate. Suppliers come up the gravel road, so size vehicles accordingly.

Lupaia hosts blessings and symbolic ceremonies in the garden or indoors. The legal civil ceremony is at the Comune di Torrita di Siena, at the Palazzo Pretorio, Parco del Tondo, the council chamber or the Teatro degli Oscuri, or in Montepulciano's historic centre. Non-Italian couples need a Nulla Osta, an Atto Notorio and certified translations; allow 60 to 90 days.

The last three kilometres are unpaved and unsuited to low cars or coaches; use cars and minibuses, and let Lupaia arrange transfers.

Late May, June and early September. July and August are hot and want a late ceremony and the pool; September and October are wetter, which Lupaia handles because 36 fit indoors. The hotel is open mid-March to early December and the pool is unheated.

Best for: 24 to 32 guests; a 12-room hotel to yourselves for three days; a kitchen worth the minimum; a rain plan that is the restaurant; the Val d'Orcia from the garden.

Things to consider: €84,000 before a planner and no relief for fewer guests; a 36 ceiling and 32 beds; a required planner and in-house food; three kilometres of gravel; the legal ceremony in town; no stated music rules.

For Lupaia, the most useful question is not whether another property has a prettier view. It is whether you want to spend the weekend as a private group inside a 12-room hotel, and whether that experience is worth a planning floor of €84,000 before most wedding vendors are added, assuming three daily F&B minimums apply.
