Six years have elapsed since we last had the pleasure of visiting one of Italy’s most exclusive and best-kept secrets, Castello Di Reschio, way back in 2013 . With so much time having passed we were excited and curious to see just how this estate had evolved over the intervening years.

从我们上一次访问意大利最独家最好的秘密之一--CastelloDiReschio（CastelloReschio），我们已经过去了六年了。经过了这么多的时间，我们很兴奋和好奇地看到这个地产在介入的几年里是如何发展的。

To briefly recap, Castello Di Reschio was formerly the fiefdom of the Bishop of Todi located on the Umbrian side of the border between the then Papal States and the former Grand Duchy of Tuscany (The opposing Tuscan Castle can be glimpsed from the highpoints of the estate over the road which now demarcates the border between the two regions). After the collapse of the tobacco industry which once dominated this pocket of Umbria in the mid-twentieth century, the estate would go into a period of economic decline which would see much of the property’s 2,700-acres of farmland return to a state of semi-wilderness, its 50 outlying farmhouses all fall into various states of disrepair and it’s fortified Borgo would become a dilapidated near-ruin. At least, that is, until 1994. At this time the estate would be purchased by Count Antonio Bolza who would embark on setting the property upon a very different trajectory and begin the long process of restoring and regenerating the land and its dependant buildings into the remarkable estate it is today.

简单地回顾一下，Castello Di Reschio以前是托迪主教的领地，位于当时的教皇国和托斯卡纳前大公国之间边界的翁布里亚一侧(对面的托斯卡纳城堡可以从现在划定这两个地区边界的公路上的高地瞥见)。在烟草业在二十世纪中叶统治了翁布里亚这个地区之后，这片地产将进入经济衰退时期，在2700英亩的农田中，大部分会回到半荒野状态，它的50座外围农舍都会陷入不同的失修状态，而经过加固的Borgo将成为一处破旧的、几近废墟的土地。至少，直到1994年。此时，财产将由安东尼奥·博尔扎伯爵购买，他将开始将财产置于一个完全不同的轨道上，并开始将土地及其附属建筑物恢复和再生的漫长过程，使之成为今天这一非凡的产业。

After graduating from architecture school in London, Count Antonio’s son, Benedikt Bolza (also Count Bolza), would soon take up the baton from his father and would stamp his own impressive mark onto the grounds. One by one the homesteads of the estate would be restored and rebuilt into luxurious accommodation for discerning new owners from around the world, transforming them into idyllic holiday homes set in the golden afternoon light of the iconic Italian countryside. Count Benedikt would fuse master Italian craftsmanship with his own distinct vision for each unique residence on the grounds, designing engineering marvels like the monastic-like underground wine cellar of ‘Casa Delle Suore’, to the grand hand-carved travertine cantilevered spiral staircase of ‘Palazzo’. No detail escapes Count Benedikt’s attention, everything from light fixtures to furniture are all designed to his exacting specifications.

从伦敦建筑学校毕业后，安东尼奥伯爵的儿子贝内迪克特·博尔扎(也是博尔扎伯爵)很快就从他父亲手中接过警棍，并在球场上打上了自己令人印象深刻的印记。这个庄园的住宅将被一个接一个地修复并重建成豪华的住所，让来自世界各地的新主人脱颖而出，把他们改造成田园诗般的假日住宅，坐落在标志性的意大利乡村的金色午后灯光下。贝内迪科特伯爵将把意大利大师的技艺与他对每一处独特住宅的独特愿景融合在一起，设计出一些工程奇迹，比如“卡萨·德尔勒·苏雷”的修道院式地下酒窖，以及宏伟的手工雕刻的石灰华悬臂式的“宫殿”螺旋楼梯。任何细节都逃不过贝内迪科伯爵的注意，从灯具到家具，一切都是按照他严格的规格设计的。

And it’s this extraordinary singular vision, this commitment to creating something truly special, which sets Reschio apart. This monumental project of transforming the immense estate is made all the more exceptional by the knowledge that this is, first and foremost, a family-run affair, an idea passed down between generations.

这是一个非凡的愿景，这个致力于创造真正特别的东西，这让Reschio与众不同。这一改造巨大遗产的宏伟工程，由于知道这首先是家族经营的事情，一种代代相传的观念，而变得更加特殊。

Of the 25 homes on the estate which have been restored and converted into luxury Tuscan-style villas there are ten available to hire when the owner-families are not in residence. The newest of these transformations is the recently completed ‘Casa Delle Suore’. In this property Count Bolza achieves new levels of refinement as he appears to hone his craft with each new build.

在已经修复并改建成豪华的托斯卡纳风格别墅的25套住宅中，有10套可以在业主家庭不居住的情况下出租。最新的这些转变是最近完成的‘Casa Delle Suore’。在这个属性中，博尔扎达到了新的精致水平，因为他似乎在每一个新的建筑中磨练他的手艺。

Thought to be a former nunnery, the ‘House of the Sisters’ is set in an exceptionally private pocket of the estate. Re-orientating the original inward-looking courtyard-style compound (unique on the grounds of Reschio) outwards, Bolza has designed ‘Casa Delle Suore’ to take full advantage of the sweeping surrounding views of the Umbro-Tuscan landscape. Allowing light to flood in, each window frames a picture-perfect moment of golden fallow fields alternating with rolling wooded hills.

“修女之家”被认为是一个前修女院，坐落在这个庄园的一个特别私人的口袋里。重新定位原来的内视庭院风格的大院(独特的理由，以Reschio)向外，博尔扎设计了‘Casa Delle Suore’，以充分利用乌姆布罗-托斯卡纳景观的全面的周围景观。允许光线涌入，每一扇窗户都描绘出一幅完美的画面-金色的休耕地与起伏的树木丛生的小山交相辉映。

Particularly inviting is the 16m x 4m swimming pool featuring gently cascading water down the shallow stone steps leading from the pool lounge terrace and inviting guests into the infinity-edged pool below overlooking the rest of the estate.

特别吸引人的是16米x4米长的游泳池，其特点是从游泳池休息室露台通往浅层石阶的水缓缓级联，并邀请客人进入俯瞰庄园其余部分的无限边游泳池。

Another intriguing feature is the aforementioned underground brick domed wine cellar. An almost meditative sensation comes over as you descend into the dimly lit cool and calming space. Although built to keep wine at a perfectly even temperature year-round, one can’t help but be drawn to this space and feel tempted to enjoy a glass of good wine, or whiskey, in this very location.

另一个耐人寻味的特点是上述地下砖圆顶酒窖。一个几乎冥想的感觉，当你下降到昏暗的灯光，凉爽和平静的空间。尽管它的建造是为了全年保持葡萄酒的完美均匀温度，但人们还是禁不住会被吸引到这个空间，在这个地方喝一杯好酒，或者威士忌。

Stunningly appointed throughout with bespoke furniture designed by Count Bolza himself, the house is studded with unique pieces sourced from the antique markets of Parma and innovative design features crafted from salvaged elements of the original structure. In this way ‘Casa Delle Suore’, while boasting every possible modern amenity, still preserves something of the character of the old building’s past, epitomised in the great care taken to preserve the two ancient mulberry trees which greet guests as they enter the courtyard.

令人震惊的是，整栋房子里都是由波尔扎伯爵自己设计的定制家具，里面堆满了来自帕尔马古董市场的独特作品，以及从原始结构中打捞出来的元素打造的创新设计特色。这样，“Casa Delle Suore”在夸耀一切可能的现代设施的同时，仍然保留了老建筑过去的一些特征，这体现在人们非常小心地保护两棵古老的桑树，它们在客人走进院子时迎接客人。

The lasting impression left by Reschio is one of renewal and continuation. What was once found in a state of near-ruin has now been re-purposed and has found a new incarnation. And in that same spirit of renewal ‘Castello Di Reschio’ is about to embark on yet another transformation, the culmination of years of planning and work and probably the crowning moment of the original idea to purchase the land, as the Borgo itself, the focal point of the Estate nears completion and conversion into a luxury boutique hotel.

Reschio留下的持久印象是更新和延续之一。曾经在一个近乎毁灭的状态下发现的东西现在已经被重新使用了，并且发现了一个新的化身。并且本着同样的复兴精神，“CastellodiReschio”即将开始另一个转变，经过多年的规划和工作，可能是购买土地的最初想法的最高时刻，因为Borgo本身，地产的焦点接近完成，转变为豪华精品酒店。

Scheduled to open in June next year (2020), the hotel will accommodate 36 rooms. Fortunately, we were treated to a guided tour of the worksite to inspect the facilities being retrofitted into the medieval fortifications of the Borgo along with an inspection of the workshops where the hotel’s future furniture and fittings, even art is being designed made and/or collected. To say we’re excited to see Count Bolza final vision fully realised would be an understatement. More to come on this next year.

定于明年（ 2020 年）6 月开业，酒店将容纳 36 间客房.. 幸运的是，我们接受了一次参观工地的导游，检查正在改造的博尔戈中世纪防御工事的设施，以及对酒店未来家具和配件的车间的检查，甚至是正在设计和/ 或收集的艺术品。 说我们看到博尔扎伯爵的最终愿景得到充分实现将是一种轻描淡写的说法。 下一年还有更多。

Also within the grounds of the Estate is the new and exquisitely designed ‘Ristorante alle Scuderie’, a restaurant and bar recently opened in June this year (2019) which will serve as a destination restaurant for the region and will be open to not just the Estate homeowners (or their renters), or future hotel guests, but also to the general public. Showcasing produce sourced from the restored farmland of the property and its surrounding local region, including Reschio’s own olive oil and wine, the restaurant, coupled with the hotel will represent the final transformation for Reschio, from exclusive Estate which only a very select few could experience to inviting a wider audience to sample the Bolza family’s curated slice of Umbrian paradise.

此外，在该地产的基础上，新设计的“RistoranteAlleSculderie”、一家餐馆和酒吧最近于今年6月开业（2019年），该餐厅和酒吧将作为该地区的目的地餐厅，并将不仅向地产业主（或其租户），或未来的酒店客人开放，而且还将向公众开放。展示源自地产及其周围地区的修复农田的农产品，包括Reschio自己的橄榄油和葡萄酒，与酒店相连的餐厅将代表Reschio的最终转变，从专有的房产中，只有极少数的人可以体验吸引更多的观众来对博扎家族的《UM布莱恩天堂》（umbrianParadise）的切片进行采样。比尔•蒂科斯。
