Wellbeing fans have been familiar with the COMO brand for some time. After all, the hotels around the world have stood for customized and luxurious vacations for more than 30 years. The COMO hotels stand for outstanding service as well as excellent cuisine and unique spa experiences. The innovative COMO Shambhala concept is responsible for the latter. The focus is on holistic wellbeing offers. COMO Castello del Nero now offers the holistic, Far Eastern retreatis in Tuscany.

Tuscan Retreat

Tuscany is the quintessential postcard idyll. Gentle hilly landscapes glow in lush green, while golden-yellow fields and olive groves are grouped around vineyards. The 300-hectare COMO Castello del Nero is no exception. The centerpiece of the estate is the COMO Shambhala Retreat. It offers 1,000 square meters of sauna, steam room, outdoor pool, thermal suites and treatment rooms. From most places, the view always falls on the beautiful nature of the Chianti region.

The Milanese Paola Navone was responsible for this. She transformed the estate, built in the 12th century, into the country estate that today combines Asian influences and typical Italian dolce far niente. Although the sweet idleness is not quite true. Because whoever wishes to, treats themselves not only to restful treatments. They can also take part in guided yoga, meditation, pilates or fitness courses. Of course, these are led by internationally renowned professionals. 

Food against aging

If you are looking for the most enjoyable way to proactively do something for your holistic well-being and youthful freshness, neither the gym nor the tennis courts are the right place. All you have to do is go to the restaurant. Because there, the team takes care of you with scientifically supported, balanced dishes. Sounds healthy? It is. And wonderfully tasty, too. 

One of the three restaurants may even adorn itself with a Michelin star. The ingredients come from the region, some even from the restaurant's own farm. Thanks to the Far Eastern influence, the results are surprising: Soba noodles with dulse flakes or fresh salmon salad with Italian herbs are popular signature dishes. Those who want to recreate the dishes at home can let star chef Giovanni Luca Di Pirro share his secrets at a cooking class. 

Signature Ritual in Tuscany Retreat

The retreat in Tuscany also relies on the proven COMO Shambhala concept, but also uses local treasures. In the signature ritual, sea salt and homemade olive and lavender oil are used in the full-body peeling. The ingredients for this come from the castle garden. Also popular: the skin detox and anti-aging treatments.
