What’s more important: winning the World Series or getting hitched? A star baseball player managed to do both, in the same weekend. He just had to miss his rehearsal dinner to clinch Game 7. Though his family didn’t mind. They were already in Italy at this famed resort, holding down the fort (or in this case, the 800-year-old Italian estate) until he and his bride arrived. Sometimes it’s best to stay calm and party on. This is a celebrity wedding…

A Luxury Hotel in Umbria – Castello di Reschio

That is, until Castello di Reschio came on the scene. This hotel is one to put on your radar. Maybe you’ll run…
