About COMO Castello Del Nero

If you’re after a taste of la dolce vita, you’re in the right place. The latest addition to the COMO collection is a 12th-century castle set in the rolling hills of Chianti. All Renaissance frescoes, vaulted ceilings, and serene, design-led interiors, it’s a fairytale estate with a storybook location to match – you’ll look out over manicured gardens, vineyards and olive groves.

Unsurprisingly, dining is a real highlight here. Guests can choose from Michelin-starred La Torre, relaxed La Taverna and al fresco Pavilion. But the estate centrepiece is the COMO Shambhala Retreat, which specialises in Eastern-inspired therapies, restorative rituals, yoga and expert-led wellness programmes. For relaxing in the sunshine, meanwhile, there’s an outdoor pool with a countryside view.

Want to explore? The retreat hires out Vespas and vintage Fiat 500s so you can zip around the hillsides like a true local. It’s an easy 40-minute drive to magical Florence, too.

Families are welcome here, but the minimum age for the spa is 16.



Wellness at COMO Castello Del Nero

A COMO hotel wouldn’t be complete without the signature COMO Shambhala Retreat. This elegant, cocooning sanctuary offers a range of spa treatments and therapies including massages, yoga and non-surgical Guinot facials.

LOCATION

The retreat is at the heart of a historic 740-acre estate, made up of gardens, vineyards and olive groves. Florence and Siena are within driving distance, so you’ve got easy access to some of the world’s best art galleries, pizza and pasta, and designer shopping. 

The closest airport is Florence, around 40 minutes’ drive away. Alternatively, you can fly into Pisa – an hour and 15-minute drive from the resort. 

WHEN TO GO

Tuscany tends to be mild all year round. The hottest months are July and August. The best time to visit is from April to June and then September and October when it’s warm but not as muggy.
