We arrived at Castello di Reschio, a 1,000-year-old hilltop castle on the border of Tuscany and Umbria, just married. Few things could beat my own wedding, but even my wife thinks Reschio might have done the impossible.
The 36-room hotel, which opened last year, is within striking distance of gorgeous spots like Spoleto, Assisi, Gubbio, Cortona, Montepulciano, Florence, Siena and even Pisa. But once you’re here, why would you ever want to leave? The estate itself is about the size of Islington. White stallions, yearning for adventure, can be saddled and ridden from the stables to explore its rolling oak and chestnut forests, lakes and olive groves (e-bikes are also on hand). The staff were the kindest I’ve ever known. We felt less at a hotel, more like guests of royalty.
