When Count and Countess Antonio Bolza bought a property in rural Umbria in 1984 they were just looking for a peaceful holiday retreat. The family fell in love with the overgrown Reschio estate which they bought ten years later embarking on a colossal restoration endeavour with the help of Count Antonio’s son, London-trained architect, Count Benedikt Bolza.
Castello di Reschio has been transformed into a unique 36-bedroom hotel, complete with a farm-to-table restaurant and an ethereal subterranean spa, which will open its doors to the public in June 2020. The interior design of both the refurbished castle and houses combines a modern sense of sophistication with historic authenticity. Exposed stonework, ancient timber beams, terracotta-brick and wooden floors, are complemented by custom-made mosaics, intricate stucco work, hand-crafted marble counters and hand-stitched linen curtains, while a series of antique and bespoke furniture and decorative pieces bridge past and present.
