The hotel also offers a complimentary shuttle service to and from Florence or Siena and is around 30-minutes from Aeroporto di Firenze-Peretola - Florence’s International airport, which makes it easily accessible from anywhere in Europe.
Temperatures in the area range from a minimum of 3°C in December and January to a maximum of 30°C in July and August, the warmest summer months.
Some of the main features and services on offer include a 25-metre outdoor heated swimming pool, a gym, 2 tennis courts, free yoga sessions on some days, car and Vespa rentals, laundry dry cleaning and pressing services, complimentary wi-fi, complimentary shoe-shine, and even a heliport!

The COMO Suite and COMO Terrace Suite offer the ultimate in Tuscan accommodation, with extensive living space, rare 18th-century frescoes, and panoramic views.
The hotel has a special opening offer, 'Experience COMO Castello Del Nero' is perhaps the perfect way to discover the hotel for the first time during the late spring and summer.
