Reschio is a 1,500-hectare, family-owned estate in the rolling hills of Umbria, Italy, where over a thousand years of history meet refined contemporary living. At its heart lies Hotel Castello di Reschio, a 10th-century castle originally built on the border of Umbria and Tuscany as a papal defence fortress. Today, it has been transformed into an exquisite retreat with just 36 rooms and suites, and rustic Italian character. Scattered across the estate are beautifully restored farmhouses available for private stays, each crafted with meticulous attention to detail, everything in Reschio is designed by the estate’s own in-house studio. Beyond its walls, Reschio encompasses organic vineyards and olive groves, stables for horse riding, a flourishing creative program of art, design, and gastronomy, and a sense of place that makes every stay a true immersion into Italian heritage, nature, and elegance.

The Bolza family & Reschio
In 1984 Count Antonio Bolza and his wife discovered the overgrown ruins of Reschio, a neglected estate in Umbria, scattered with abandoned farmhouses and crowned by an ancient castle. Over the following years, Antonio sold his publishing company and invested entirely in restoring the estate. His son, Count Benedikt Bolza, trained as an architect in London, returned in 1999 and took leadership, reimagining the farmhouses as private homes and transforming the castle into a 36-room hotel. Today, Benedikt works alongside his wife, Donna Nencia, while Antonio and his wife remain on site. Under their stewardship, Reschio has become a haven of design, nature, and heritage, marrying conservation with luxury living
