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

Reschio
Extraordinary Characters

Meet our long-standing residents, from the smartly turned-out Contessa (she simply has to change three times a day) to the long-suffering Ornella, the chambermaid, who has kept the Castello spick and span for centuries...

Ruggero the Butler

The Reschio Negroni comes with a health warning, it is most addictive and could cause marital strife. Should you find yourself in this dilemma, Ruggero, the butler, will surely oblige and find you a dusty attic room for a lonely night. We love having fun and loved re-enacting our favourite Charlie Chaplin clip. After all, we have the most perfect show stopping set in our Palm Court

Domenico & Domenica da Cesi

Some weddings take time, but some innamorati just won’t wait... Domenica and Domenico da Cesi fell so very in love here at Reschio in 1687 that they chose to marry on the spot - even though our chapel of San Michele was looking rather rustic that century. These days, nature’s floristry has been tamed to make room for fellow revellers, and there’s a roof again - but love-struck brides and grooms all still marvel at how the place brims with wild beauty

La Contessa

The long-standing residents of the Castello are taking well to their new companions. La Contessa changes three times a day, so she’s been grateful to room service for helpfully transporting all her laundry - it’s terribly kind of them to insist!

Ornella the Chambermaid

For centuries, Ornella, the chambermaid, has proudly kept the Castello ‘spick and span’. Over the past two years she has been getting rather irritated, with the new arrivals, for leaving dust everywhere... but it could be said that she takes her obsession with cleanliness a little too far, at times….

Ruggero the Butler

Ruggero the butler. He is a true innovator! Embracing the new technology that has arrived at Reschio, he can slice bread with the highest precision now. Remembering his days at the Ritz, he exclaims 'Oh! If only Dame Nellie Melba could see how thin I can make her melba toast!

Nonna Giorgetta

Darkness falls at Reschio. But it isn’t time for bed just yet… Like all the best grandmothers, Nonna Giorgetta knows all the best stories. As you can see, her bedtime stories attract quite an audience... young and old. From tales of enchanted forests and fearless adventurers, the bambini slip off to sleep, their heads full of dreams. But a few always stay to hear how it all ends - for is it true that a wandering knight once saved the Castello from a fearsome dragon - with the help of a clever princess?

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 1,500-hectare estate. Or even the most recent residents, Benedikt and Nencia Bolza, who lived here until recently with their five children, racing around the ruins having a very jolly time (even if the ceilings did occasionally collapse)
