Explore COMO Castello Del Nero: A Journey Through Time

Take a Journey Through Time overview

From its first designs as a country residence for Tuscan nobility, to its present life as a luxury escape, COMO Castello Del Nero has been the beating heart of the local community.

Important details from the source

• Renaissance-era frescoes, centuries-old wine cellars and insights into Florence’s noble families — join us on a voyage through nine centuries of history at our Tuscan escape.
• From its first designs as a country residence for Tuscan nobility, to its present life as a luxury escape, COMO Castello Del Nero has been the beating heart of the local community.
• On this self-guided walking tour, you will get to know your new surroundings, and come to know some of the fascinating characters who have called the Castello home.
• As the latest stewards of this historic place, we take our responsibility seriously.
• All our conservation work has been conducted in close partnership with the Accademia di Belle Arti de Firenze, who review the Castello annually.
• Opposite the main entrance of COMO Castello Del Nero sits a 400-year-old cedar tree, which — ancient as it is — is less than half the age of the estate itself.
• The Castello began life in the 12th century as the country residence of the noble Del Nero and later the Torrigiani family, who — like many modern-day Florentines — preferred to swap the city’s sweltering summer heat in favour of the cool Chianti hills.
• Note the width of the entrance archway, designed to accommodate carriages passing directly through to the former stables where today our Michelin-starred restaurant, La Torre, now lies.
• The huge original fireplace is still in use, and while today it’s a peaceful spot for an evening drink, cast your mind back a few centuries to the artisans who worked over the roaring flames, busily preparing magnificent feasts for the noble family above.
• On the first floor of the Castello, you’ll find a fine example of the Del Nero coat of arms — a rearing greyhound — set above the large stone fireplace.
