Heavenly Castello

We stayed at Castello di Reschio last year in April and vowed to return in a slightly warmer month. Exquisite Castello di Reschio

We visited this year in May, but the weather was no warmer. This spring has been cooler than usual and wet. We need rain in Italy after a couple of very dry years so we are not complaining.

Castello di Reschio did not disappoint on our return visit.  We swam in the pool despite the overcast, cool weather. The sun came out occasionally on day 1.

 

 



This time the second restaurant, La Scuderie, was open and we ventured a little further on the property. There is an excellent equestrian centre (pity I have zero interest in horses) near the restaurant.

I expect the white horse is much photographed, I know I took lots of photos.


There are 2 other horses.


All three together.

If you were into riding horses I’m sure this would be the place to be.


The restaurant area is stunning. Nothing here is left to chance.





 

The path back towards the castle leads to what was once a small church, now an event area with accommodation in the building behind.

 

The gardens are a perfect balance between manicured and left to nature. I love the areas left to grow wild.






There are gorgeous views of the hills nearby.

The Palm Court is the perfect place to sit and read or enjoy a cool drink…lots more on last year’s post.

We loved this table placed above the Palm Room.

We enjoyed time in the glorious Roman bath.

The boot room has an area where flowers gathered from the gardens are sorted and sent off to various rooms in the Castello.


We had our last breakfast in a small room beside the usual room. It was exquisite!




Our room was delightful.

We said goodbye to this incredible place again…I hope we come back.
