Good things come to those who wait; great things come to those who take action with heart and mind in equal measure
Doing things well, using the finest materials, respecting the land, honoring the past while integrating the future, giving the smallest detail as much focus as the big gesture—such is the credo at Reschio, helmed by Count Benedikt Bolza and Donna Nencia Corsini. Here, caring about details isn’t a burden, it’s a baseline. The Bolza family’s elevated taste and impeccable execution is so second nature to them that it seems effortless, which makes guests feel relaxed. But effortful may be more on point, and that fullness tumbles over into a sense of generosity. For the Bolzas, the satisfaction of creating a place of beauty is topped only by the joy of sharing it with others.
TUCKED WITHIN THE CASTLE
PALM COURT
As majestic as the Palm Court is, it represents in microcosm all that Benedikt and Nencia have tackled in bringing Reschio into the 21st century, in giving it soul and life. Architecturally, the Palm Court is a triumph of ironwork and glass fabrication, showcasing the work (as does nearly everything that Benedikt designs) of local craftsmen. The Bolzas themselves often lead impromptu moments in song. Like troubadours of yore, they perform musically and theatrically at various spots around the property, entertaining friends and extended family as well as homeowners and visitors, with impromptu singalongs as well as thoroughly produced yet absolutely lighthearted musicals. There is not a patch of Reschio that does not hum with Bolza current.
Nestled in the castle's walls is a central courtyard that serves as the welcoming heart and central hub for the property’s guests.
The culmination of a multi-year renovation, the soaring glass and steel structure matches the scale and gravitas of the stone fortress it connects.
Nearly everything is a shade of green, a soothing palette complementing the Jazz Age atmosphere inside.

“Nencia is the free spirit behind it all,” benedikt says. “any talent for drama or gift for spontaneity that the children have comes from her.”
