Not your average Tuscan estate, this 12th-century castle is set in 740 postcard-worthy acres in that sweet spot in Chianti, south of Florence and north of Siena. The fifty guest rooms and suites are traditionally decorated with wooden beamed ceilings, terracotta floors, dainty loveseats and marble baths with mosaic detail, alongside modern touches.
What makes COMO Castello Del Nero special
• Castello del Nero has three dining venues including the Michelin-starred La Torre, which has a seasonal menu sourced from local farmers and the estate’s own organic garden.
• COMO’s outrageously well-connected concierge, who can get you almost any restaurant reservation
• A plethora of activities - Whether it’s truffle hunting on the property, wine tasting – of course – or taking a hot air balloon over the Tuscan countryside to a morning picnic, the incredibly efficient COMO team seems more than willing to help guests make a stay at the castle much more than about accommodation.
• The hotel has a fleet of red Vespas and vintage Fiat 500s to help you explore the gorgeous Tuscan countryside
• Come nightfall, you can also arrange stargazing on the hotel’s panoramic terrace with an expert from the Astronomical Observatory of Chianti.
• COMO Shambhala Retreat wellness facility. For those who want to focus on wellness, COMO has also brought the first Asian-inspired spa to the region. The Shambala retreat offers bespoke massages, pilates and yoga sessions, thermal suites and a 25-metre heated outdoor swimming pool.
• The hotel’s frescoed Heritage Suite’s gorgeous murals were restored under the beady-eyed supervision of the Italian Fine Art Commission.
