Castello del Nero awarded Most Excellent Hotel by Cond Nast & Johansens

Castello Del Nero Hotel & Spa was awarded “Most Excellent Hotel” at the 2013 Condé Nast & Johansens Annual Awards For Excellence held at a glamorous location in central London this month. Johansens marked the launch of their 2013 Guides at the event, attended by leaders in the global hospitality industry.

Created to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across the hotels and spas in the Johansens guide collection, the much coveted Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence are a trusted mark of quality, recognised by discerning consumers and travel professionals alike.

The 2013 Annual Awards for Excellence were determined by the combined results of the Johansens online voting system, guest survey reports and inspector feedback. This award comes days after the hotel’s La Torre Restaurant was awarded Two Forks by the independent Italian food guide, Gambero Rosso.

Fabio Datteroni, General Manager at Castello del Nero said: “It is an incredible motivation for all of us to receive this acknowledgment from our industry and in particular from our hotel guests. We make the greatest effort each day to provide an authentic luxury Tuscan experience for our guests, in the hotel, in La Torre Restaurant and in our ESPA spa, and we will continue to strive for the highest standards of hospitality.”

Located twenty minutes from Florence and thirty minutes from Siena, Castello del Nero Hotel & Spa commands views across the rolling Tuscan hills and vineyards from its fifty meticulously restored rooms, shade dappled terraces and heated outdoor pool. The estate produces its own red wine and extra virgin olive oil, showcased in the acclaimed La Torre Restaurant.

A la carte menus are served for lunch and dinner and feature a range of Giovanni Luca Di Pirro’s signature dishes showcasing typical Tuscan flavours and made with the freshest local produce. Accommodation with breakfast starts from EUR380 per night. Dinner for two in La Torre Restaurant starts from EUR50 for the Traditions of Tuscany Tasting Menu.
