A TRIP TO BE THANKFUL FOR
The rolling Tuscan countryside plays epic backdrop to the autumn activities on offer at COMO Castello Del Nero. Having extended its season until December 1, guests can you spend longer learning the art of Chianti wine-making, olive oil harvesting and how to cook a Thanksgiving celebration with a cooking class led by Michelin-starred Executive Chef, Giovanni Luca Di Pirro. If you’re thinking of staying through the holidays, book the Thanksgiving Break In Tuscany, with a three-night stay at the hotel, the hands-on masterclass, wine-tasting and truffle hunting, and a tremendous Thanksgiving feast served Italian-style, of course. When it’s time to roll into bed, do so in a COMO Terrace Suite, which feels more like a private apartment, with exposed beams, high ceilings and 180-degree views over the hilltops and lakes.
