Why is Reschio more than a hotel in Umbria? (Part 2)

Tucked into the hills of Umbria, Hotel Reschio has earned a reputation for quiet luxury, architectural beauty, and refined Italian hospitality. But what makes Reschio truly exceptional goes far beyond the hotel walls. The estate itself is a living, breathing ecosystem—part private retreat, part working estate—offering guests an immersive experience in slow living, artisanal craft, and timeless rural life.

Private Houses
Scattered across the vast landscape are a collection of restored farmhouses—each one uniquely transformed into a private retreat. These rural homes combine rustic charm with understated elegance and are available for rental, offering an intimate, independent way to enjoy Reschio’s peaceful surroundings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finest Equestrian Life
Reschio is also home to a world-class equestrian centre and stud farm, where Spanish Thoroughbred horses are bred, trained, and celebrated. The estate hosts a dressage school led by expert instructors and often stages elegant performances. For guests, this offers a chance to witness or participate in a centuries-old equestrian tradition—one of the estate’s most distinctive features.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reschio Flavours
For those who love the culinary arts, Reschio offers a cooking school that brings local ingredients and traditional recipes to life. From hand-rolled pasta to fresh estate produce, it’s a hands-on way to connect with Umbrian culture. The estate also features its own restaurants, where guests can enjoy seasonally inspired menus rooted in the land’s bounty.

 

 

 

 

Wellness in Nature
To unwind, the Bathhouse offers thermal-style baths and a selection of massages and treatments, all housed within the stone vaults of an ancient building. It’s a place of deep calm—ideal after a day of riding or walking the trails.

 

 

 

 

 

A Working Estate with Soul
What sets Reschio apart is its ongoing commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability. The estate produces its own cheeses, raises livestock, and cultivates organic crops, maintaining a rhythm that has defined rural Italian life for centuries. There’s also a beautifully curated Bottega—a craft store showcasing handmade pieces, many of which are designed and produced on the estate itself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this haven of authenticity and exquisite taste, every detail is carefully considered, nothing is left to chance. Rechio also designs and produces its own decorative pieces, from furniture and lighting, to hand-painted walls and artisanal accessories. Each creation is crafted with local materials and natural resources, and brought to life by skilled Italian artisans. Rechio has not only restored an abandoned area, but also created jobs and made it sustainable.

Combining nostalgia for bygone eras with modern sensibilities, Rechio’s design philosophy celebrates restoration and repurposing with today’s technology. The result is a collection of truly inspired pieces that combine aesthetic beauty with functionality and everyday comfort.

If you’d like to take a piece of Reschio home with you, many of these items are available for purchase here.
