COMO Hotels and Resorts has announced the launch of a new COMO Shambhala Retreat at COMO Castello Del Nero – the first Asian-inspired wellbeing experience in Tuscany.
Bringing COMO’s commitment to lifelong wellness to Italy, the new COMO Shambhala Retreat combines targeted treatments, world-class experts, and energy-giving COMO Shambhala Cuisine at the heart of a historic, 740-acre estate.
Advocating proactive holistic wellness, the new wellbeing sanctuary – 1,000sq m in size – features seven luxurious treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art gym, relaxation area with breath-taking views over the Tuscan countryside and sun-drenched yoga and Pilates studios. Guests can also look forward to invigorating thermal suites, a 25m heated outdoor swimming pool, two tennis courts, and an outdoor fitness area, named the Forest Gym.
When they’re not in the spa, guests can wander COMO Castello Del Nero’s fragrant gardens before tasting local wines, honey, and home-grown olive oil on a new mirrored courtyard, designed by Paola Navone. Cycle through forests and olive groves, walk by towering vistas of vineyards and embark on Tuscan truffle hunting before learning to cook Italian specialities in cooking classes with Executive Chef Giovanni Luca Di Pirro. Guests can also try their hand at authentic experiences including gelato-making with an Italian master, hot air ballooning and winemaking, before retiring to their elegant suite – where the historical charm of the castle is blended with COMO’s signature pared-back luxury.
