‘ Luxuriously comforting and pampering, this is a superb place to be cocooned for the Christmas feast’
Christmas in Tuscany
Escape to the Castello del Nero for a relaxing and rejuvenating festive season. Inhale the atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside in winter with its frosty and misty mornings, the cypress trees standing proud against the rolling hills and the rows of stumpy stakes in the bare vineyards. Amidst this timeless landscape, you will be nurtured and pampered at the luxurious Castello del Nero, situated in the Val di Pesa about 30 minutes south of Florence. Here you will be able to appreciate the Renaissance features of this restored, originally from the 12th century, castle, such as its frescoed walls, ceilings and fireplaces. The hotel has 50 rooms and suites, a COMO Shambhala spa and two restaurants including the Michelin-starred La Torre, and a bar, La Taverna, with its vast fireplace that creates a cosy glow in the winter months and situated in the castle’ s original kitchen. Spend your time here unwinding, in the spa, reading in the Taverna, or taking walks through the estate. Perhaps take yourselves into Florence or Siena or hire a local guide to give you a private tour of the sites that interest you most.
NOTES We include flights from London to Pisa or Florence, and either a private transfer or a hire-car. The Castello del Nero does operate a shuttle to Florence, about 30 minutes away and to Siena, every other day( to be advised over the Christmas days). Pisa is about 75 minutes away.
