12th C. Converted Castle On My Tuscany List · Chianti Base — Day Trips To Florence And Siena
A 12th-century castle that puts Florence and Siena both within reach — the smartest base on my Tuscany list.
The third seat in my featured Tuscany trio goes to COMO Castello del Nero: a 12th-century converted castle in Chianti, well-positioned for day trips to Florence and Siena. Position is the operative word — this is the estate for travelers who want the countryside and the cities.
The castle sits in the heart of Chianti, almost equidistant from Florence and Siena, which makes it the rare estate stay that doesn't force a choice between landscape and sightseeing. Frescoed original rooms meet COMO's clean contemporary hand, and the brand's signature Shambhala wellness philosophy runs through the spa and the kitchen.
I’ve visited in person, so I can tell you which rooms are worth asking for. Within my trio, the logic is simple: Castiglion del Bosco to settle into an estate, Casole for the traditional castle, Castello del Nero to use Tuscany as your daily playground and come home to a castle each night.
Work with me and you get two things: Fora perks, and someone who knows Castello del Nero personally. As a Fora advisor, my clients receive a space-available upgrade, daily breakfast, and a hotel credit. I know the property and the team, so I personalize your stay, from the room I request to what’s arranged before you arrive, and I’m your direct line to them while you’re there. Rates are identical to booking direct.
Castello del Nero earned its place on my list. Let me match you to the right room, time it to the right season, and build the rest of the trip around it.
