You can stop looking for your perfect property. In this video, produced by GStudio, feel the warmth of the Tuscan sun on your skin and the taste of fresh sourdough as we take you on a wander through the Brusceto, situated on the remarkable Castello di Reschio estate and marketed by Knight Frank in London for €5.8 million.
Lying in rolling hills and unspoiled fields on the borders of Tuscany and Umbria, this seven-bedroom property has been lovingly restored to include modern luxuries whilst maintaining the beautiful, rustic aesthetic of the original farmhouse.
The elegant Brusceto is kept light and spacious with its stone walls and neutral colour palette, with such warming touches an original fireplace in the living room and a farmhouse-style, fully equipped kitchen making you feel like you’ve never been away.
Comprised of both a Main House and Guest Annex, Brusceto is the perfect retreat for families – with room for up to fourteen guests – but, as you’ll see from our video, it’s easily a couple’s paradise.
Of course, it’s not just what’s inside that counts. Brusceto also comes with such enviable amenities as a heated infinity pool, changing and laundry rooms, pool house, bread oven and seating area for outdoor dining. It’s (almost) enough to make you miss the stunning panoramic views, including the 1,500 hectares of the Castello di Reschio estate.
Also a nature reserve, the estate is home to vineyards, olive groves, vast woodland and 50 farmhouses, half of which have already been restored to the highest international standard. The estate also provides a full concierge service for you to take advantage of, including personal drivers and a daily maid service, and you can enjoy such activities as clay pigeon shooting and horseback riding.
Classic Italian dishes can be enjoyed on the estate’s private Osteria restaurant, or maybe you’d prefer to unwind in Brusceto and learn how to make your own pizza, with an entire house menu and wine list available to be delivered right to your doorstep or, indeed, poolside….
The Castello di Reschio is situated within close proximity of Cortona, Perugia and Arezzo. The nearest airport is Perugia for both private and commercial flights, then Florence, Pisa or Rome. Train links are provided at Cortona on the main Florence – Rome line.
