When an iconic, historically significant property undergoes a major transformation, the global travel industry watches with keen interest. It is with immense pride that we share our recent feature in Travel Weekly, one of the most respected and widely read voices in the tourism sector, which celebrated the grand reopening and meticulous renovation of LaChiusa.
The extensive coverage highlighted the thoughtful stewardship of George and Linda Meyers, who purchased the historic hilltop estate in the fall of 2018. Travel Weekly detailed to its professional readership how the property was closed to undergo extensive, historically respectful updates before unveiling its enhanced, modernized beauty to the world the following May. The publication drew special attention to our magnificent, mature olive grove—home to over 900 ancient trees—which proudly continues to provide the liquid gold utilized daily in our renowned garden-to-table restaurant.
Furthermore, the detailed article praised the strategic introduction of Executive Chef Allesandro Goracci, a true Tuscan native, who masterfully directs our culinary vision. Travel Weekly emphasized the unique opportunities available to our guests, ranging from booking private, intimate cooking classes directly in the hotel kitchen to embarking on the intensive, life-changing weeklong Cook in Tuscany immersion program.
This significant recognition from the professional travel trade affirms our ongoing commitment to elevating the LaChiusa experience to unprecedented heights. We have successfully married the modern, luxurious comforts expected of a premier global boutique hotel with the ancient, soulful charm of a historic estate that has proudly stood guard over the village of Montefollonico for centuries.
