Castello Del Nero Tavarnelle Val Di Pesa (Tuscany)

If you are looking for a Tuscan retreat, you would be hard pushed to find one more perfect than this. The converted 12th Century castle offers its guests historical surroundings, boutique charm and modern luxury facilities. However, the heart of this retreat has to be the spa designed by the exclusive ESPA. The rooms and suites combine elegance with modern comfort, and the 18 unique suites boast carefully restored original frescos, family crests, vaulted ceilings plus flat screen TV's and air-conditioning when you don't need your goose down duvet or cashmere blankets. And after a day exploring the region La Torre restaurant will treat you to a gourmet experience of real Tuscan cuisine. Where, in summer you can enjoy your dinner on the panoramic terrace and in winter beside the historic fireplace, whilst the Bar offers a more informal dining experience.
