A magnificent and completely private property with breath-taking views over the private nature sanctuary of the Castello di Reschio Estate and to the Appenines beyond.
Bell’Aria has been meticulously converted by its owners and the Reschio team to create a home that is luxurious without being ostentatious, mixing modern comfort with traditional materials.
The result is an elegant Italian Villa with the ease and charm of an English Country House, offering flexible accommodation for anywhere from two to seventeen guests.
Separated into three distinct zones - the North Side, South Side and Garden House - Bell’Aria offers its guests real individual privacy, even at full occupancy. It is an oasis of calm and tranquility perched up on its hill, but also a great place for a gathering of friends, family and children.
The gardens and grounds are beautifully landscaped and have a variety of terraces, dining areas, hammocks, a covered outdoor sitting room with fire place, a pool house and a separate covered rose loggia beside the generous swimming pool. As with the house itself, the many different areas of the garden give guests spaces in which to be alone, as well as spaces in which to come together. There is also an Astroturf tennis court in the upper garden.
Within the walls of the castle is this pocket-sized chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, perfect for intimate celebrations. Restored by the family while Count Benedikt and Donna Nencia Bolza lived in the castle with their five children, the walls are covered with fine monochrome frescoes, trompe l’oeil columns and delicate floral paintings. On the back wall is a fresco that tells the story of the Bolza family and their origins.
With a talented team of chefs can create just about anything. One-off meals, full-time catering, parties and feasts – you’re in good hands. Simple summer salads from our synergic kitchen garden, Umbrian feasts on your sun-dappled terrace, a relaxed evening with pizzas hot out of the outdoor oven…anything is possible.
Each house has its own dedicated housekeeper who ensures everything is ready for arrival, no matter the time of day or night. Bedrooms are filled with just-picked flowers, bathrooms stocked with our bespoke Ortigia products, and kitchen pantries filled with local essentials: fruit, milk, yoghurt, cheese, prosciutto, pasta, and our homemade torta di cioccolato.
The estate drivers know their way around, whether you need a quick hop from the airport, or a full-day excursion around Tuscany and Umbria’s delightful hilltop villages and medieval towns. Helicopter trips are also available on request.
Activities can be arranged, clay pigeon shooting, fishing, truffle hunting, tennis, cooking classes and cycling including electric bikes.
