COMO Castello Del Nero

When I first booked this hotel (to attend my friend's wedding), I thought this was overpriced. But, it was very much worth it! Undeniably - this is the BEST hotel breakfast I've ever had. This place makes a Ritz Carlton breakfast taste like school cafeteria food. The tiramisu I ordered via room service was better than tiramisu I had in US Italian restaurants with tasting menus. Overall food here, is on a new level! The room was cozy and had phenomenal views. Turndown service came with gummy candies that were on a new level. Lastly, The team strikes the last balance of professionalism and warmth. Receptionists and restaurant staff always were attentive and came with a smile. Would probably nudge Michelin to give this place 2 keys, instead of 1 key.

We stayed here on a family vacation with a rental car driven from Rome. In looking at the map, I was unsure how the location would work out, as our goal was to drive to small Tuscan towns each day. Turns out this was a great location and a great property. The room was clean and large, staff was very friendly and accommodating, food was good we had breakfast and dinners, and the setting is very pretty. We have a special needs son, and everyone was very kind and helpful in handling any special requests we had to meet his needs. We left this property to go to Florence, and in retrospect wished we had stayed longer at Como Castello. The hotel is well located for driving in Tuscany - we enjoyed the pretty ~1 hour drives to some of the smaller towns we visited, and the roads are good. There is a small town near the property for gas, and a few restaurants. Overall a great location, superb friendly and helpful staff, and great property. We would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed here for 3 nights as a side trip to our stay in Florence. The hotel is spectacular! It’s a castle overlooking beautiful Tuscan hills and olive groves. Amenities were top notch. Breakfast in the Pavilion was so delicious and everything was so fresh. Yoga with Giulia facing the hills in the morning was a wonderful way to begin our day. What made our stay even more special was the staff. From the bell hop to the breakfast wait staff everyone treated us like we were well liked family members :). Giulia at the front desk, Maria at the spa and Francesca , Valentina and Giuseppe at the Pavilion deserve special mention. If you are planning a trip to Tuscany you must stay here!

One of the most impactful properties I have visited and I will highlight a few desired improvements. My photos will also tell an impressive story. PROS: tranquil, serene, beautifully styled, gorgeous gardens, 10 mile vistas, incredible breakfast service, location CONS: limited private public areas, at peak service hours staff pressed, some rooms may be compact and lack views, dimmer lighting at Taverna and Pavillion in evening. My first COMO and I will try others. Used PLAT AMEX got upgraded to 201 suite which was incredible. Friendly and warm staff!

We stayed here for 2 nights of a Backroads cycling trip in Tuscany. The hotel is pretty with magnificent views of the hills and valleys of the region. Our room (204) had a nice view. The breakfasts were lovely and we also enjoyed a nice dinner outside on the terrace one night during our stay. The pool is lovely and offers incredible views. We utilized the spa at Como Castello del Nero and give our experience mixed reviews. The hotel only has about 50 rooms, but oddly feels much bigger and offers less intimate service than expected.
