This 1,560-hectare private estate is shaped by cypress trees and morning mists, but above all by its stud farm, where some forty Spanish horses (the famous Pura Raza Española) are the stars of this prestigious setting.
Here, dressage horses of exceptional grace are trained using patient, almost meditative methods. For riders, Castello di Reschio offers private lessons, rides through the hills, and activities designed to foster a bond between horse and rider.
The hotel itself embraces raw beauty: centuries-old stone, custom-made furniture designed by the owner, restored frescoes, and light filtered as in a Luca Guadagnino film.
In the rooms, the softness of the materials meets the breathtaking view of the hills. Everything here exudes calm and good taste. Guests can stroll through the terraced gardens, the spa housed in the old cellars, or the Italian restaurant with its regional touches.
When the warm weather returns, the architecturally stunning pool serves as a natural basin whose waters reflect the castle. A world apart, where la dolce vita has never been more aptly named
