In the heart of Tuscany, the historic COMO Castello del Nero offers pastoral relaxation in picturesque seclusion. Fifty rooms and suites delight guests with high wooden beamed ceilings, four-poster beds, and mosaic-tiled bathrooms. A Michelin-starred restaurant serves the finest Italian specialties, with ingredients sourced from the estate itself or from local producers. At the COMO Shambhala Retreat, treat yourself to a relaxing massage before setting off on a tour of the wine region, truffle hunting, or horseback riding through the characteristic Tuscan hills. The nearby cities of Florence and Siena also invite you to explore.
In keeping with tradition, Castello also offers a sophisticated COMO Shambhala Retreat with a comprehensive range of massages, facial and body treatments, thermal suites, a sauna, an ice fountain, and an aromatic steam bath. Sports facilities include a fitness room, two tennis courts, an outdoor gym in the forest, and a yoga and Pilates studio where you can take free yoga classes. There is also plenty to experience in the surrounding area: take a guided cultural excursion to Florence or Siena, go truffle hunting followed by lunch, or ride through the vineyards and olive groves.
Choose from 50 rooms and suites. The bright, cool-toned interior design is by Paola Navone and is complemented by unique Renaissance wall frescoes and classic terracotta floors that evoke the history and age of the property. The Heritage Suite impresses with extra-high ceilings, a fireplace, and dramatic stucco, while the two-bedroom COMO Suite with a panoramic terrace is ideal for families. However, the hotel's luxury masterpiece is the spacious San Luigi Villa, which can accommodate up to 14 guests. Here you can enjoy a private infinity pool, five bedrooms, a large living area, exclusive service, and absolute tranquility amidst the Tuscan hills.
COMO Castello also sets high standards when it comes to cuisine. Most of the products come from local farmers, the hotel's own vegetable garden, or the estate's vineyards, olive groves, and beehives. Chef Giovanni Luca Di Pirro will delight your palate with exquisite Italian cuisine in the elegant La Torre, which has even been awarded a Michelin star. La Taverna, on the other hand, is more cozy and rustic in style and offers a selection of Tuscan specialties. At the bar, you can enjoy great cocktails, champagne, reserve cognacs, grappas, and whiskeys, while the wine cellar houses various treasures and is available for private wine and olive oil tastings.
COMO Castello Del Nero is a unique luxury hotel in the heart of the world-famous Chianti wine region in beautiful Tuscany.
