The Reschio Houses

The Reschio Estate An ancient estate, a millennium-old castle, a forward-thinking family - and the singular aim of protecting and restoring an extraordinary corner of unspoilt Umbria. This is Reschio.

Explore 1,500 hectares of pristine wilderness, protected, restored and brought back to thrilling life by a dynamic family. A thousandyear-old castle meticulously restored and stylishly reimagined into a dazzling hotel. Private homes restored to the highest of international standards and tailor made to individual owner’s needs.

The estate services From clever chefs who will magic up a feast for a crowd, to behindthe-scenes magicians who will create a theatrical birthday party, our services cover every eventuality, and make sure that every stay is as relaxed or surprise-filled as you wish. From exploring our ancient forests and flower meadows on horseback, to wild swimming in the lake or having an Italian cooking lesson, Reschio is crammed with delightful experiences.

Horses Our outstanding stables, launched by our founder, Count Antonio Bolza, in 1999, is home to some of Italy’s finest, most highly skilled dressage horses. Lessons, wild hacks across the estate and early evening performances will introduce you to these magnificent creatures.

10

Activities There are a variety of activities for guests to enjoy at Reschio including an estate lake with its well-equipped cabin, two Astroturf tennis courts complete with a tennis pavilion, horse riding and miles of mountain bike tracks.

12

Naturally the flavours of Reschio are readily available from foraging walks, olive oil or wine tastings to cookery classes and, on summer evenings, the open air cinema is a great attraction

14

The Reschio Centre Just a short stroll from the Hotel Castello di Reschio is the heart of the estate where our horses, an intrinsic part of Reschio, have their stables.

Dressage is practiced in the manéage and riding lessons for all ages and all abilities are available. Tennis courts are up a few steps with a pavilion and, for the less energetic, drop into the Bar Centrale for coffee, a refreshing drink or an aperitif before lunch or dinner in the Alle Scuderie Restaurant.

Adjacent is a shop with farm produce including wines, olive oil and honey as well as many of Reschio’s favourite things.

Step into the cool shade of Alle Scuderie and take a seat amongst the lofty fern-trees, head out onto the broad terrace or perch at the long, marble Bar Centrale. With its soaring ceilings, hand-crafted furniture and wide-reaching views, it exudes an air of old-world Italian glamour. Our organic kitchen garden does most of the hard work here, which combined with the freshest local produce, creates simple menus with elegant touches, and pizzas straight from our outdoor oven. Bar Centrale is just the place to pause for a pre-dinner cocktail or post-dinner drink.

22

From light red wines and rosés, to golden honey and fragrant olive oil, all our products are fully organic and made right on the estate.

24

Bottega and Accademia di Cucina La

26

The Bottega di Reschio has a fine selection of wine, olive oil, honey and free range eggs all produced at Reschio and beautifully packaged to take home.

There is much more too, many tempting artisanal made items and, if your time at Reschio has unleashed your creativity, there are pocked watercolours, leather notebooks, foraging baskets, secateurs and leather carrying pouches too.

Located in Ristorante Alle Scuderie’s piazza is our Accademia di Cucina della Bottega. Choose between a foraging walk in the grounds to pick what takes your fancy and learn to create a variety of dishes or transform the best of our local produce into scrumptious Italian meals.

The

Private Spaces at Reschio

If you feel the urge to be tucked in a special place where no one can find you, book one of the secret spaces at Reschio, where two or, sometimes more, can be secluded in luxury. Maybe dine, or drinks at sunset, an especially indulgent time in the Bathhouse or be lost in your own wild experience, whatever you choose, contact Concierge and they will be able to book somewhere for your exclusive use.

The

Houses

Scattered around the wild expanse of Reschio are 8 magnificent houses, available for rental. All are former farmhouses, once in ruins but now carefully and meticulously restored by the Bolza family.

Keeping to the original footprint of the farmhouses, each house is truly unique and thoroughly liveable. What they all have in common, though, is the location, sitting amongst our charming hills with undisturbed views of the pristine estate.

Arrighi High on the hills of Reschio is the impressive Arrighi, a former watchtower and farmhouse that dates back to the 11th century. Stroll across the wide, paved courtyard, past the stone fountain and into this warm and welcoming house, with its light, modern interiors, cool sandstone floors and soaring ceilings.

Outside, the glass-encased staircase tower is an architectural show-stopper, but what’s most striking about Arrighi is its surroundings - it’s hard to drag yourself away from those sweeping views over the estate, the Niccone valley and over to Tuscany.

Barco There’s a pleasingly synergic symmetry to Barco that stems from its landscaped courtyard, the focal point of the house. Inside, curving arches and an open-plan feel give a breezy sense of space, while the central dining room brings the outdoors in, opening right out onto the terraces leading to the swimming pool, garden and spa-bath. It’s here, on the shady terrace, that you’ll want to spend your day, nose in a book or dining outdoors, gazing at uninterrupted views of the castle and of nearby Castello di Sorbello. The location is spoton, too, close to Ristorante Alle Scuderie, the stables and tennis courts.

BARCOLINO is the spacious self-contained one-bedroom guest cottage in the grounds, available when the main house is not occupied.

Bell’Aria Bell’Aria is a perfect example of how the Reschio team works closely with house owners to create an utterly unique and bespoke home that is both aesthetically beautiful and liveable. This is Italian elegance with a touch of English country house charm - where modern style meets traditional materials, where refined luxury meets kick-off-your-shoes comfort. Take your pick from numerous outdoor lounging areas – on the terraces, by the pool, on the lawns - and take in the views over Reschio’s private nature reserve and, on crisp clear days, all the way to the Apennines.

Cercoschene Completely restored and furnished in April 2021 Cercoschene has profited from the whole of Reschio’s design ethos. Architecture, interior design, bespoke furniture from B.B. for Reschio, it has all come magically together.

Stepping over the threshold into a new double height entrance with an unsupported solid stone staircase, it is a real show stopper. Terraces, some covered in wisteria or protected by mature fig trees, are all around the house, each with stupendous views over olive groves and vineyards to ancient oak and chestnut forests beyond.

An outside dining area, with a bread oven is a few steps from the panoramic swimming pool and lounge where an open fireplace will tempt you into evenings of chatter and stargazing. One of the four bedrooms is an independent studio, with kitchenette. The writer’s desk is for those that want to bring their work with them, but with these views you might be inspired to write poetry

Piantaverna This delightful farmhouse, nestled on a slope bang in the centre of the estate, is a recently restyled gem.

Light-flooded interiors and bespoke furniture, carefully selected by the Reschio design team, mix cleverly with period pieces, creating a stylish, organic feel. Unlike other properties, Piantaverna’s infinity pool sits on a terrace above the house, surrounded by fragrant lavender gardens and with dreamy views of Reschio’s rolling hills. You’ll happily lose a day here, relaxing in the balmy shade of old oak trees.

Spinaltermine Tranquil, secluded and peaceful: Spinaltermine is in a remote corner of the estate, surrounded by undisturbed wilderness and with jaw-dropping views across Reschio and the surrounding hills. This is one for those seeking a slice of nature in its purest form.

Tisciano This house still retains the sense of the farmhouse that it was centuries before, despite the drop-deadgorgeous interiors within. The aromatic gardens lead directly into Reschio’s ancient olive grove with forests extending beyond. It is a haven for wild life. The light and bright spacious interiors lean heavily on 1950’s Italian design, while outside you are spoilt for choice with the extensive outdoor lounging areas – loggias, pool terraces, alfresco dining and all with outstanding views across Reschio’s private nature reserve.
