Castello di Reschio | Italy

Lisciano Niccone, Umbria
Independent

Aurelle Curator's Verdict

Castello di Reschio is a cinematic masterpiece for design lovers and romantics who crave the seclusion of a private estate with the soul of a thousand-year-old fortress. Those seeking high-touch, traditional hotel service may find the youthful staff and owner-led quirkiness a bit unpolished, but the sheer aesthetic perfection and privacy are unrivaled. The one signature experience worth the journey is a twilight session in the subterranean Bathhouse, followed by a glass of estate-grown wine in the Palm Court.
