RESCHIO, ITALY

When Count and Countess Antonio Bolza found their peaceful holiday retreat in 1984, it was surrounded by an overgrown and ramshackle estate. A decade later, Antonio sold his successful publishing company and bought the 1,500-hectare Reschio estate. The estate had fifty abandoned farmhouses and an ancient castle. Together with his family of five children, they set up home in unknown Umbria.

He decided to share their utopia with like-minded souls, those seeking tranquility and seclusion in an unspoilt swathe of Italian countryside. Fortunately, this aristocratic family had the wherewithal within their ranks. In 1999, their son Count Benedikt returned from studying and practicing architecture in London and immediately took up the reigns, designing and building masterful creations from the original farmhouses, winning awards along the way

Interiors

Custom-made marble washstands, finest linens, bespoke furniture and intricate stucco work everything is laid, built, hand-stitched and formed by a remarkable team of local artisans, some of the finest working in Italy today.

The interiors are at the heart of the estate. The rare furniture and oil paintings are sourced from Italy’s best below-the-radar antiques markets and can be purchased from the Reschio Dealership at the Tabaccaia
