A medieval border castle turned country hotel, restored over decades by the family who live on the estate.
Life at Castello di Reschio is shaped by the land, the seasons, and the family behind it all. Built in 1050 to defend the border where Umbria meets Tuscany, the castle sits at the heart of a private estate of oak woods, vineyards, and olive groves. The Bolza family bought it in 1994 and spent decades restoring it, opening the castle as a hotel of 36 rooms and suites in 2021.
Every detail has passed through the family’s hands. The spa fills the former wine cellars with a salt-water pool, dining is within the castle walls and in the old stables, an oval pool sits below the walls under umbrella pines, and purebred Andalusian horses, bred on the estate, are ridden out across the hills. It feels more like a home than a hotel, because it is.

Property Details
Furniture made on the estate
Count Benedikt Bolza’s furniture line, B.B. for Reschio, is made on the estate in a converted 1940s tobacco factory by Reschio’s own blacksmiths, carpenters, and upholsterers, working in wood, brass, steel, and leather. The beds and lamps in the rooms come from these workshops.
The Bathhouse spa
The spa is set in the castle’s former wine cellars, with a salt-water pool lit from a high window, bath rituals, and lymphatic massage.
Dining across the estate
Ristorante al Castello has a sunset-facing terrace within the castle walls. Alle Scuderie, in the former stables at the center of the estate, cooks from the organic kitchen garden and has the long marble counter of Bar Centrale. The Palm Court bar sits in the castle courtyard.
The Andalusian horses
Count Antonio Bolza began breeding purebred Andalusian horses at Reschio in 1999. They are schooled in classical dressage and taken out on rides across the estate.
The pool below the castle
A heated pool sits below the castle walls, spilling over its stone rim to the lawn under umbrella pines. Bar Torrino serves light lunches and drinks through the day.
Bookable activities
Tennis, rowing on the estate lake, e-bikes, and walking trails through the oak woods.
