Tuscany is a land of enchanting landscapes, rich history, and unparalleled culinary delights. My recent stay at COMO Castello Del Nero, nestled in the heart of this picturesque region, was an unforgettable experience that tantalised the senses.

Every meal at COMO Castello Del Nero was a celebration of Tuscan flavors. I indulged in homemade pizza straight from the wood-fire oven, its crust perfectly crisp and toppings bursting with freshness. The handmade pasta was a revelation, each bite a testament to the region’s culinary expertise.

Evenings were spent sipping COMO’s own wine, produced in the vineyard just beyond my doorstep. The rich, complex flavors of the wine were the perfect complement to the stunning surroundings.

Staying at Podere San Filippo, my home away from home, I was greeted daily by the soothing scent of lavender. The lushness of Tuscany was palpable, with the fragrance of blooming flowers and fresh herbs filling the air. This sensory immersion in nature’s aromatherapy added an extra layer of relaxation to my stay.

The tranquility of this sanctuary enveloped me, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Taking a plunge in the Castello’s pool on a hot summer day was incredibly refreshing, the cool water providing a welcome respite from the sun. Each moment was imbued with a sense of peace and relaxation, making it easy to unwind and truly enjoy my surroundings.

Tuscany’s beauty was a constant feast for the eyes. From the vibrant bees and butterflies fluttering around the vineyards to the stunning architecture of Tuscan homes, castellos, and churches, every view was a postcard-perfect scene. The rolling hills, lush vineyards, and timeless structures created a landscape that was both serene and awe-inspiring.

The highlight of my stay was witnessing Andrea Bocelli perform in Tuscany. His voice, rich and emotive, resonated through the evening air, adding a magical soundtrack to my Tuscan adventure. This unforgettable experience was the perfect finale to my sensory journey, leaving me with cherished memories of a truly special place.

My stay at COMO Castello Del Nero was an extraordinary indulgence that engaged all my senses. From the taste of exquisite local cuisine to the soothing scents and stunning sights, every moment was a celebration of Italy’s legendary heritage and natural beauty. This enchanting destination is a must-visit for anyone seeking a sensory-rich escape in one of the world’s most beautiful regions.
