Set among vineyards and olive groves in the Chianti hills, COMO Castello Del Nero occupies a 12th-century castle between Florence and Siena. Paola Navone’s cool-toned interiors sit beside Renaissance frescoes, terracotta floors and broad views across the estate, while rooms and suites retain the building’s generous proportions. La Torre brings Michelin-starred Tuscan cooking to the castle, complemented by relaxed dining at La Taverna and the seasonal Pavilion. COMO Shambhala Retreat adds thermal facilities, treatments and yoga, and the private grounds extend to wine cellars, kitchen gardens, cypress-lined paths and the long outdoor pool below the terraces.
