Location

Reschio farmhouses are sanctuaries hidden from the outside world, part of a thriving, working estate with its stables, its winery, olive groves, clay pigeon shoots, tennis courts and private Osteria and Bottega. Private riding lessons through the quiet hills can be arranged, Castello di Reschio Estate’s chefs can drive guests to the farmsteads for a one-to-one pasta-making lesson and resident wine experts can host tastings in the Castello’s winery. The estate office has an unrivalled local knowledge and can arrange anything from mountain biking, painting classes, art history excursions to private tours of Chianti vineyards or the many ancient hilltop towns of Umbria and Tuscany.

Also, within an hour’s drive of the Estate are such towns as Assisi, Arezzo, Cortona, Gubbio, Perugia and Siena and many other smaller sights to explore.
