Overview

COMO Castello Del Nero, Tuscany, is an exceptional and serene 740-acre estate in the world-famous Chianti wine region of Italy - and COMO’s first property in Europe. The unique twelfth-century castle features 50 rooms and suites, many of which have views across the surrounding Tuscan countryside, and the breath-taking Villa San Luigi.

The castle’s historic, fresco walls and vaulted ceilings remain untouched, while Milanese interior designer, Paola Navone, has introduced a light and modern ‘COMO’ aesthetic. Our headline villa sits in the heart of COMO Castello Del Nero’s estate, a short drive away from our hotel. It embodies modern Tuscan luxury with its infinity pool, wellbeing annexe and sweeping views. Stays at Villa San Luigi are defined by ultimate seclusion with optional access to all the hotel’s services, experiences and activities.

COMO Castello Del Nero has two dining locations: the Michelin-starred La Torre restaurant showcasing gourmet Italian cuisine using the finest Tuscan produce, and Pavilion, an outdoor restaurant open in the summer, offering ‘al fresco’ Mediterranean dining. La Taverna is a relaxed bar and our COMO mixologists are ready to give every drink a modern twist. The estate is also home to a comprehensive wine cellar perfect for wine tasting experiences and private dining, and its own vineyard, beehives and olive groves. It is literally ‘farm to table’, with the garden carefully overseen by Executive Chef Giovanni Luca Di Pirro.

Italy’s long wellness heritage is reflected in the resort’s COMO Shambhala Retreat, where therapeutic massages and expert treatments are designed to help guests take positive steps to improving their health. In addition, there are tennis courts, e-bikes, a heated outdoor swimming pool and complimentary morning yoga. COMO Castello del Nero offers the same precise service, therapeutic wellness experiences and exceptional food established by the brand in its thirty-year history.

TUSCANY

SAN GIMIGNANO (20 minutes driving)

SIENA (30 minutes driving)

Siena's cathedral, the Duomo, begun in the 12th century, is one of the great examples of Italian romanesque architecture. Its main façade was completed in 1380. It is unusual for a cathedral in that its axis runs north-south. This is because it was originally intended to be the largest cathedral in existence, with a north-south transept and an east-west aisle, as is usual. After the completion of the transept and the building of the east wall (which still exists and may be climbed by the public via an internal staircase) the money ran out and the rest of the cathedral was abandoned. Inside is the famous Gothic octagonal pulpit by Nicola Pisano (1266–1268) supported on lions, and the labyrinth inlaid in the flooring, traversed by penitents on their knees. Within the Sacristy are some perfectly preserved renaissance frescos by Ghirlandaio, and, beneath the Duomo, in the baptistry is the baptismal font with bas-reliefs by Donatello, Ghiberti, Jacopo della Quercia and other 15th century sculptors. The Museo dell'Opera del Duomo contains Duccio's famous Maestà (1308–1311) and various other works by Sienese masters. More Sienese paintings are to be found in the Pinacoteca.
The shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, the town square, which houses the Palazzo Pubblico and the Torre del Mangia, is another architectural treasure, and is famous for hosting the Palio horse race. The Palazzo Pubblico, itself a great work of architecture, houses yet another important art museum. Included within the museum is Ambrogio Lorenzetti's series of frescos on the good government and the results of good and bad government and also some of the finest frescoes of Simone Martini and Pietro Lorenzetti.

On the Piazza Salimbeni is the Palazzo Salimbeni, a notable building and also the medieval headquarters of Monte dei Paschi di Siena, one of the oldest banks in continuous existence and a major player in the Sienese economy.
Housed in the notable Gothic Palazzo Chigi on Via di Città is the Accademia Musicale Chigiana, Siena's conservatory of music.
Other churches in the city include:

Basilica dell'Osservanza
Santa Maria dei Servi
San Domenico
San Francesco
Santo Spirito
San Martino
Sanctuary of Santa Caterina, incorporating the old house of St. Catherine of Siena. It houses the miraculous Crucifix (late 12th century) from which the saint received her stigmata, and a 15th century statue of St. Catherine.

The city's gardens include the Orto Botanico dell'Università di Siena, a botanical garden maintained by the University of Siena.
The Medicean Fortress houses the Enoteca Italiana and the Siena Jazz School, with courses and concerts all the year long and a major festival during the International Siena Jazz Masterclasses. Over two weeks more than 30 concerts and jam sessions are held in the two major town squares, on the terrace in front of the Enoteca, in the gardens of the Contrade clubs, and in numerous historical towns and villages of the Siena province. Siena is also home of Sessione Senese per la Musica e l'Arte (SSMA), a summer music program for musicians, is a fun/learning musical summer experience.
The Palio
The Palio di Siena is a traditional medieval horse race run around the Piazza del Campo twice each year, on 2 July and 16 August. The event is attended by large crowds, and is widely televised. Seventeen Contrade (which are city neighbourhoods originally formed as battalions for the city's defence) vie for the trophy: a painted banner, or Palio bearing an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary. For each race a new Palio is commissioned by well-known artists and Palios won over many years can often be seen in the local Contrade museum. During each Palio period, the city is decked out in lamps and flags bearing the Contrade colours.
Ten of the seventeen Contrade run in each Palio: seven run by right (having not run in the previous year's corresponding Palio) together with three drawn by lot from the remaining ten. A horse is assigned to each by lot and is then guarded and cared for in the Contrade stable. The jockeys are paid huge sums and indeed there are often deals and bribes between jockeys or between 'allied' Contrade committees to hinder other riders, especially those of 'enemy' Contrade. For the three days preceding the Palio itself, there are practice races. The horses are led from their stables through the city streets to the Campo, accompanied by crowds wearing Contrade scarves or tee-shirts and the air is filled with much singing and shouting.
Though often a brutal and dangerous competition for horse and bare-back rider alike, the city thrives on the pride this competition brings. The Palio is not simply a tourist event as a true Sienese regards this in an almost tribal way, with passions and rivalry similar to that found at a football 'Derby' match. In fact the Sienese are baptised twice, once in church and a second time in their own Contrade fountain. This loyalty is maintained through a Contrade 'social club' and regular events and charitable works. Indeed the night before the Palio the city is a mass of closed roads as each Contrade organises its own outdoor banquet, often for numbers in excess of 1,000 diners. On the day of the Palio itself the horses are accompanied by drummers and flag twirlers dressed in medieval costumes who first lead the horse and jockey to the Contrade parish church and then join a procession around the Campo square. There are often long delays while the race marshall attempts to line up the horses, but once underway the Campo becomes a cauldron of wild emotion for the 3 minutes of the race.
