Como Castello Del Nero’s Edvaldo Brito speaks to Renae’s World
Deep in the rolling Tuscan hills, COMO Castello Del Nero stands as a beacon of refined elegance—a 12th-century castle exquisitely reimagined into a world-class wellness retreat by the globally acclaimed COMO Hotels & Resorts.
In an exclusive interview, Edvaldo Brito, General Manager of COMO Castello Del Nero, sits down with luxury hotel and wellness expert Renae Leith-Manos to explore the seamless blend of ultra-luxury hospitality and holistic wellbeing.
From Michelin-starred dining to immersive wellness escapes, this Tuscan sanctuary offers an unparalleled experience for discerning travelers seeking both indulgence and rejuvenation.
A Haven for Luxury and Wellness Travelers
Set on 700 acres of breathtaking countryside, COMO Castello Del Nero is more than just a hotel—it’s a destination where history, wellness, and indulgence intersect. The estate has garnered global acclaim, securing prestigious accolades such as Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 50 and Travelers’ Choice Awards in both the US and UK.
At the heart of the COMO philosophy is transformational wellness. Guests can embark on curated fitness and mindfulness journeys, from yoga, Pilates, and guided meditation to 300km of scenic nature trails perfect for e-biking and hiking.
For epicurean travelers, La Torre, the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, presents an exquisite vegetarian-focused menu crafted from organic, farm-to-table ingredients. COMO’s culinary philosophy extends beyond indulgence, offering nutrient-rich, wellness-focused gastronomy designed to nourish the body and elevate the senses.
The Curry Sisters Yoga Retreat: A Unique Wellness Experience
Last November, COMO Castello Del Nero played host to the Curry Sisters Yoga Retreat, a transformative wellness experience blending movement, mindfulness, and relaxation. Surrounded by Tuscany’s idyllic landscapes, guests immersed themselves in a deeply restorative program, a concept that COMO is keen to expand upon in future retreats.
As a fitness enthusiast himself, Edvaldo Brito embodies the wellness ethos that COMO represents. His personal commitment to health—whether through his daily 10km cycling commute, Pilates sessions, or explorations of nearby Tuscan villages—is reflected in the property’s holistic offerings.
Beyond Wellness: A True Tuscan Experience
For those seeking authentic Tuscan immersion, COMO Castello Del Nero curates private wine tastings, exclusive e-bike tours through vineyard-covered hills, and visits to family-run wineries, offering a true taste of local life.
As Edvaldo puts it, COMO Castello Del Nero is “the perfect place to do everything—and absolutely nothing.” Whether indulging in bespoke wellness programs, exploring hidden villages, or simply soaking in the castle’s breathtaking surroundings, guests leave with a renewed sense of balance, vitality, and inspiration.
