A Weekend Escape to Como Castello del Nero


Four days at Como Castello del Nero felt like stepping into a Tuscan dream. The historic charm of this 12th-century castle combined with modern luxury made it the perfect escape. Mornings started on the beautiful breakfast terrace, where the view over vineyards and olive groves set the tone for the day. 

As I’m currently training for L’Étape du Tour de France, I couldn’t wait to explore the area on two wheels and spend some time on my bike. Whether heading toward Chianti, Val d’Elsa or exploring nearby villages, each ride from the hotel was an adventure and I wish all of my training would be this scenic. After a long day in the saddle, the pool was a slice of heaven. Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect place to unwind tired legs and recover to be ready for another day on the bicycle. ;) 

 

Whether you're a cyclist or simply in search of tranquility in Tuscany, this place is the perfect elegant escape rooted in history and nature.
