Once the country home of the eminent and influential Florentine Del Nero and Torrigiani families, this stunning 12th century castello is, once again, held in the highest esteem in Tuscany's Chianti region.
Retaining as many of the original features as possible, whilst seamlessly incorporating all the modern amenities that a discerning traveller could desire, COMO Castello Del Nero provides a luxurious escape in 740 acres of the beautiful Tuscan countryside.
The main castello is the heart of the hotel with other buildings that would have once housed the stores and servants quarters converted into further unique spaces. The bar has been created in the original kitchens, whilst the hotel's Michelin-starred La Torre restaurant was once home to the estate's stables. The castello continues to grow with plans to convert the many estate buildings found across the 740acres into further accommodation.
