Architecture & design

Combining unspoilt Umbrian countryside with timeless Italian style, the exclusive villas to rent at Reschio are widely considered among the most beautiful, secluded and well-appointed homes in the world.

Extensively restored by the owner family, the once-decayed traditional Umbrian farmhouses have masterfully been transformed into masterpieces that are nothing short of exceptional.

Thoughtful, beautiful design is at the heart of the restoration work at Reschio Estate. From the architecture to the interior design, it is a place where every window, terrace, swimming pool, shutter, work surface, cabinet and bathtub has been carefully considered and crafted using some of the finest builders, blacksmiths, carpenters, glassblowers, masons and painters working in Italy today.

Crafted to perfection, the impeccably designed properties reflect real artistry and singular aesthetic beauty.

Radiating irresistible timelessness, discerning allure, and historic appeal, the visionary architect Count Benedikt Bolza has combined the handcrafting tradition of master craftsmanship and Italian elegance with a touch of modern flair and eclectic originality. Lime-washed beams, Carrara marble, terracotta floors, original stone walls, arched doorways,  bespoke furniture and antique decorative features have all been tailored to create unique homes.

Everything from light fixtures to furniture is designed to Count Bolza’s exacting specifications. They have been crafted with exquisite skill by artisans – including carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths and upholsters – to complement each villa’s interiors.

Stunningly appointed throughout with bespoke furniture designed by Count Bolza himself, this fine villa for rent in Umbria is brimming with unique pieces sourced from Italy’s best below-the-radar antique markets, innovative design features crafted from salvaged elements of the original structure and artfully woven linens. In this way, while boasting every possible modern amenity, the holiday home rental still preserves something of the character of the old building’s past, epitomised in the great care taken to protect the two ancient mulberry trees that greet guests as they enter the courtyard.
