Hotel Castello di Reschio
Umbria, Italy
Opened June, 2020
The Castello, dating back to 1050, is a historical gem brimming with interest and intrigue. Now, after years of careful restoration, it has been transformed into a singularly unique hotel filled with wit, whimsy and effortless style. Within the walls of the castle are two interlinked courtyards — one now encased in glass and starting a new life as the Palm Court. The other is a wonderful grassy lawn circled by impressive mature umbrella pines and cypresses. It is blessed with perfect acoustics and the home to concerts, recitals and pop-up events
Location
Perugia airport is the most convenient, just a 45 minute drive away. Florence airport, to the north, is about two hours by car.
Accomodation
Rooms
The Bedrooms are all situated within the castle, on the ground and second floor. The custom-designed furniture includes a four-poster Campaign Bed, the Drinks Bar, the marble & brass basin Wash Stand and in most rooms the Dressing Table. There are also antique and historic pieces in all rooms. If you are travelling with children, please contact us directly to enable us to suggest the best options for your family.
Suites San Michele
Exposed stonework, terracotta bathroom floors and an Umbrian feel make themselves at home alongside custom-made furniture, beautiful Italian fabrics and unique four-poster beds. The feel is warm and vibrant with antique oil paintings and traditional photography on the walls. Located just next to the Parish Church of San Michele Arcangelo, outside the castle walls, these suites have heart-soaring views along the Niccone valley, and those on the ground floor have their own private gardens.
The Tower Suite
This suite is a real show-stopper, rising up over five floors of the Castello’s tower. The entrance passes right over the huge gateway to the castle, leading to a living room, up to the master bedroom (with king-sized bed) and bathroom. The floor above houses the second bedroom (with queen-size bed) and bathroom, which in turn leads up to the study. By the very nature of this historical tower, there is no lift and some rooms are more compact than others in the castle but, at the top, a roof garden with an open-air tub — and frankly extravagant views over the Umbrian countryside is quite a bonus.

Infrastructure
The Bathhouse
The castle’s ancient wine cellars, below the Palm Court, have been transformed into our otherworldly Bathhouse, a steamy, dreamy retreat. Worn stone steps lead down to a tranquil sanctuary of therapeutic interconnecting spaces, offering holistic, nurturing treatments to soothe both body and soul
The Palm Court
The wrought-iron columns and glass ceiling create an exotic fin-de-siècle space, with an air of Agatha Christie mystery (but without the murder). On arriving at the Castello, it is a perfect first port of call. A place to take in an invigorating negroni, while also absorbing the majesty of the castle’s walls from within. Pluck a book from our library and sit back with another icy glass of something delicious
The Library
The perfect place to steal away and read a book, or even write one while sitting at the jewellery makers’ table. The castle cat, forever stalks the book shelves. Our gamekeeper found and identified that this wild cat (who had its met demise in a road accident) was an extremely rare specimen, he is registered by the authorities as a national treasure
The Old Kitchen
The castle’s former kitchen is now a relaxing place to meet friends for a preprandial drink or even to have a light supper in one of the window seats gazing out at the stunning views. The original hearth is still the focal point, especially when an autumn fire is blazing
The Swimming Pool
Our outdoor pool is a thing of natural beauty. Settled in the landscape surrounded by mature trees and fragrant gardens, inviting a casual dip. It feels like wild swimming, as you skim over the ripples to the undulating views beyond with paintbrush cypresses, glimmering olive groves and ancient vineyards. The old Torrino has had a renaissance and its attentive staff cater for your every whim.
History
If these walls could talk... they’d probably tell thrilling tales of the 13th-century owner Marques del Monte, or about the Archbishop of Todi, whose coat of arms from 1610 still hangs above the entrance. Or perhaps about Count and Countess Antonio Bolza who arrived in 1984 and planted the seed for the idea of transforming and regenerating the

Biking
Our unspoilt estate is just the place to explore on two wheels, with kilometres of tracks to race around on, or to gently cruise along with the wind in your hair. High quality bikes (including electric bikes) of all sizes can be hired through our estate service team
The Lake
Our secluded, glassy-calm lake is surrounded by nothing but untamed nature, and you really must experience it by exclusively hiring out the lake cabin for the day (for a minimum of six people). It’s magical: just you, the birds, wheeling in the sky above, and that rippling water. Take a dip, glide about on the paddleboards, lounge on the wooden deck, tuck into a freshly-made picnic, start a water-fight ... whatever, really. It’s up to you
Wildlife watching
Our hills and ancient forests are filled with wildlife, from wild boar and roe deer, to foxes and porcupines. They don’t just trot out on demand, though. Head out on a gentle nature hike with our gamekeeper for the best chance of a glimpse of the creatures that call Reschio home
Magical Movies
As the sun sets, our outdoor cinema whirrs into life. Twice a week, throughout the summer, a programme of films is shown in the Teatro Equestre, featuring Italian classics. Popcorn, soft drins, wine, beer and pizza are all served. For those that to see their favourite films, it can be booked exclusively for up to 25 people.
Around the Area
The landscapes of Umbria and Tuscany inspired the canvases of the Renaissance painters, and exploring the hazy hills, medieval hill-top towns, museums and art galleries is a rare treat. Within an hour’s drive of Reschio are the spellbinding towns of Assisi, Arezzo, Cortona, Gubbio, Perugia and Siena. The long summer season, meanwhile, is alive with open-air concerts and opera, as well as little seasonal festas held in villages and towns. Then there’s the food to discover and the Sangiovese wines to try...
Dining
Ristorante Al Castello
The western ramparts echo with history, after all this fortified castle was built a 1000 years ago to defend the southern territories from the rampaging north. The restaurant enjoys amazing tranquil views with stunning sunsets and fig trees gloriously perfume the terrace in summer. Everything has been designed and custom made by B.B. for Reschio with a magnificent dresser as the centre piece. Here castle-dwellers are tempted each morning by a splendid buffet breakfast. Traditional Italian specialities are served each evening, using ingredients sourced from the estate or nearby. Other spaces, such as a semi-secluded dining table for eight or the Old Castle Kitchen, where guests can linger over liqueurs and coffee, with a blazing fire in the winter. It is a restaurant for every season
Ristorante Alle Scuderie
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. Bar Centrale is just the place to pause for a pre-dinner cocktail or post-dinner drink.
Accademia di Cucina della Bottega
Located next door to Ristorante Alle Scuderie, our cookery school will lead you on creative foraging walks in the grounds to pick what takes your fancy, show you how to create a variety of dishes, and transform the best of our local produce into scrumptious Italian meals
Palm Court Bar
A cool respite from the summer heat or a blazing fire in the winter chill; the Palm Court Bar is a place to relax while luggage is whisked to your Castello suite. It is the hub of the hotel, somewhere to linger over an espresso and plan daily excursions or to sip a cocktail and gossip
Secret Spaces
High up inside a tower, within the castle ramparts, are two ancient colombaie — or dovecotes, now these hideaways have become secret places, lit by candles and roaring fires. Perfect for an atmospheric dinner for two in La Colombaia Piccola, or, an ideal spot for drinks or post-supper nightcaps for up to six people in La Colombaia Grande.
