For Timothee Chalamet, meeting Kylie Jenner’s big sisters would always be a nerve-wracking moment.
But imagine being flown to a remote castle in the Italian countryside to come face to face with the Kardashians for the first time.
That’s exactly what Kylie did when she thought it was time for Timothee to meet her £770million family – including her tiger mum, ‘momager’ Kris Jenner.
MailOnline can reveal that in a bid to ensure everything ran smoothly, Kylie, 27, rented out the entire Reschio Hotel – a converted 10th-century castle with 36 bedrooms located in the Italian countryside – and the Call Me By Your Name star invited , 29, as an “induction” into the family when the pair had already been dating for six months.
A well-placed source told MailOnline: ‘Kris, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall – they had all met Timothee before but the relationship was very new at the time and they wanted to get to know him well.
‘It wasn’t until Timothee went on holiday with the girls and Kris – and a bunch of Kylie’s friends – that he was considered part of the family, it was a kind of introductory holiday.
‘And that’s actually what Kylie and Timothee fell in love with, they came back from that holiday as a real couple.
“They couldn’t keep their hands off each other, kissing by the pool.”

Reschio Hotel is a family-run hotel located on the lush border between Tuscany and Umbria. It is built in and around a 10th-century castle with 1,500 hectares of vast land dotted with brush cypresses, olive groves and white roads winding through the valley.
After centuries of fighting between marquises and noble Italian families, the castle was acquired in 1982 by the Austro-Hungarian Bolzas family, who have vowed to restore it to all its former glory after it had been abandoned, overgrown and redeveloped over the years. had become feral. 20th century.
The 1,000-year-old restored castle welcomed its first guests in the spring of 2021 and Ms. Jenner rented it out in the summer of 2023.
The rooms include a buffet breakfast, air conditioning, free minibar, WiFi and Ortigia bath products.
Each bedroom window looks out over the expansive estate, wrapped in hand-stitched linen curtains and the furniture is custom made with Italian wood and fabric.
Grand Rooms cost £1,000 per night, with stone walls and ancient wooden beams above four-poster beds and fresh flowers laid out for guests as they bathe in the exposed bathtubs.
For £1,770 per night, guests can stay in the Grant Suite, a spacious room with sitting area, desk and wood-filled fireplace and plush velvet armchairs.
The most luxurious of all, the Tower Suite at £3,298 per night, is located in the oldest part of the castle, built in 900 AD. The two-bedroom suite is spread over five floors and has a terrace with panoramic views of the valley and surrounding farm buildings.
During the Italian holiday, Kylie posted a series of glamorous photos to her Instagram page
The Kylie Cosmetics founder and Chalamet fell in love and took an afternoon away together, enjoying a picnic of cakes, fruit and Italian wine in a meadow where he bought her a bouquet of birthday flowers.

The roof garden also features an open-air pool.
Within the Tower lie the hotel’s ‘secret rooms’, lit by candles and crackling fires, described in the brochure as ‘perfect for an atmospheric dinner for two’ or ‘after-dinner nightcaps’.
Being the birthday girl, Ms. Jenner and her new boyfriend no doubt took this area as their own.

One of Hollywood’s most secretive romances, Jenner and Chalamet have kept their now two-year relationship out of the public eye and the mother-of-two posted photos from her trip at the time but was careful not to reveal he was with her.
Fans joked that the picturesque Italian holiday meant she was in her “Timothee Chalamet era,” due to his role in the dreamy romance film Call Me By Your Name, but no one knew he was actually there.
But the Mail can confirm that the Complete Unknown star was present and took part in all the activities, including pasta making, long sunset drinking sessions by the pool and wild swimming in Lake Trasimeno.
Ms Jenner’s older sister Kendall, 29, a keen equestrian, was no doubt thrilled with the purebred Spanish stallions waiting in the stables as guests were encouraged to explore the grounds on horseback.

Also highly recommended are binoculars to scan the vast landscape for wild boars or falcons.
Elsewhere in the hotel there is a tennis court and library, which is also home to a cat that rummages through the bookshelves and is so unique in its home and habits that it is ruled by the authorities as a national treasure.
Hotel staff are waiting on every corner to cater to the family’s ‘whim’ with a babysitting service for £20 an hour – Ms Jenner shares six-year-old daughter Stormi and two-year-old son Aire with her former partner and rapper, Travis Scott.
Set in a landscape of fragrant gardens and mature cypress trees, the large heated oval pool gives the illusion of wild swimming in the surrounding centuries-old vineyards, but also has a pool bar.
The cellars once intended for wine have been converted into a spa accessed by ancient stone steps leading to a warren of soothing spaces, including two treatment rooms, a sauna and a hammam. Among the caves there is also a plunge pool of almost heavenly tranquility, illuminated by rays of light from windows high above.
There is also a cookery school at the hotel where guests can be guided on foraging walks around the grounds, where guests can choose what they want and then create Italian meals from it – Mrs Jenner enjoyed this one afternoon.

At the end of a long day of partying, long dinners were enjoyed in the covered, pine-covered courtyards, serving local delicacies such as fresh pasta and wines.
Just a month after their successful holiday in the Italian countryside, the beauty mogul and the Dune star decided to publicly confirm their relationship after they were spotted kissing at the US Open in September.
Since then, they have only been photographed a handful of times, with fans baffled by the relationship between a svelte “artsy” French-American actor and a Los Angeles-based influencer known for her role in the reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
But the couple once again defied expectations and proved they were more in love than ever as they posed together at the Golden Globes, locking their lips in a kiss.
