Castillo del Nero, Tuscany

Enveloped by the rich, rural beauty of Tuscany, this elegant historic estate is the perfect base from which to immerse yourself in the charms of the region.

Castillo del Nero enjoys a truly picturesque location nestled in amongst rolling hills, wheat fields, olive groves and vineyards. The property itself, and the extensive grounds, dates back to the 12th century when it housed Florentine noble families. Wonderfully restored and luxuriously appointed, the guestrooms maintain their traditional heritage with wood-beam ceilings and terracotta floors. The interiors are more up-to-date, boasting modern amenities like air conditioning and flat-screen TVs. 

From the beautiful outdoor swimming pool to the natural ESPA spa, it’s hard to choose the most impressive feature of this sophisticated hotel. The restaurants, La Torre and La Taverna, serve delicious gourmet cuisine complemented by award-winning wines produced from the surrounding vineyards. Activities here include tennis, golf, art and architecture tours, wine and olive oil tastings and endless walking opportunities through the extensive grounds. The property can also organise day trips to nearby cities such as Florence.
