Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
COMO Castello Del Nero is built around the combination of serious cuisine and serious wellness, making it a fit for travellers who want both under one roof. The 12th-century castle retains frescoed rooms, and dining is anchored by a fine-dining restaurant, alongside a COMO Shambhala wellness retreat for treatments. Rooms and communal areas take in panoramic Chianti countryside views, and the property is pet friendly with free parking included. The location is rural, so a car is needed, and with limited dining alternatives nearby, guests are largely reliant on the on-site restaurants; pricing reflects the historic setting and level of service.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 17 hotels we list in Tuscany is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- La Torre Restaurant occupies the former stable and serves an à la carte menu paired with local Chianti wines, offering a formal dining option without leaving the property.
- Rooms retain original architectural details like beamed ceilings and frescoes, giving each space a distinct character rooted in the building's medieval origins.
Things to Consider
- Tavarnelle Val di Pesa sits in the Chianti countryside, so a car is practical for reaching Florence, Siena, or exploring surrounding towns independently.
- Rates reflect the property's history, fine-dining restaurant, and wellness facilities, positioning it toward the higher end of the regional market.
