Overview

Arrighi was in time gone by a watch tower with an adjoining fortified farmhouse and has a commanding view over to Tuscany and all along the Niccone Valley. It was meticulously restored in 2004 and now consists of three buildings: Main House, Guest Cottage and Bread Oven.

The imposing L-shaped main house consisting of the former fortified farmhouse and watch-tower, is approached through the entrance gates, past the guest annex, up a short drive with Holm oaks and mature garden planted with ancient olive trees and Mediterranean plants. A large paved courtyard with fountain leads into Arrighi which has some fine Romanesque features and the origins of the building clearly date back to the 11th Century. It has been renovated to preserve the austere external appearance whilst creating a spacious light modern interior with sandstone flooring and a glass encased external staircase tower. Extensive private grounds and generous 360 degree views, an 18 x 4 m overflow pool and vaulted pool house and the minimal interior make this a unique property.

The Castello di Reschio Estate
Castello di Reschio is a very private estate and nature reserve of some 2,700 acres on the borders of Umbria and Tuscany. Scattered widely apart amongst the olive groves, vineyards and extensive Mediterranean oak and chestnut woods are 50 farmhouses, of which almost half have been restored to date creating exquisite private homes designed to the highest international standards. Integral to Reschio is a unique combination of world class service and a high level of privacy and security.
