With great views, lovely gardens of cherry and chestnut trees next to the villa, this is truly the place for an Italian holiday.
One of the few waterfront properties around the lake with water access. Wonderful views, festive with the sound of the church bells, remote location nestled between Como and Bellagio. Tourist trips to Bellagio are only 25 minutes away.

This place was truly a gem, we came to celebrate my mother's birthday and it was the perfect stay. We had dinners outside on the terrace with the most beautiful views of the lake and some of the days when we stayed in the town, we spent swimming at the dock, tanning in the lounge chairs, and there's a trail that starts nearby the church and leads all the way to the waterfall and bridge in the center of Nesso, where you can also swim!
Lino was very helpful to explain the check in process when we arrived to the house in the dark, but if you need to get in contact with him, call him directly rather than text, he responded immediately by phone call. The parking was very easy (just be sure not to have a big van!) We had an SUV and it was fine to drive up and down the narrow driveways. Also note that there are many steps from the parking lot down to the house, and it's not that bad if you don't have any physical restraints, but definitely would be difficult for older or disabled people.
The only con to this stay was the wifi, I would not recommend for people who need to work remotely - while it was fast enough for a few people to work and zoom call, it was a public network and it went out every hour or so for about 30 mins, which was very inconvenient for those of us working remotely.
This was such a peaceful location in Nesso! It is the bottom portion of a house right above the lake . Absolutely gorgeous !We enjoyed the two decks and it was well supplied with all amenities needed. We drove a car here and explored Como and Bellagio along with taking a ferry from Bellagio to Varenna. All beautiful. We left a couple morning at 7:30 am and had no trouble finding parking in Como or Bellagio . We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend !!
Great waterfront 3 bedroom home on the waterfront with plenty of comfortable outdoor seating and great views through multiple lake-facing windows. We liked that we were close to the town of Nesso and away from busier tourist locations. The kitchen was well appointed with nice pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc. We were a short walk from the public ferry and found it easy to use to explore the towns around the lake. It was sooo quiet at the home! Need to know there are 97 steps down to the home but that’s par for the course while in the Como area. Also, we found the bed a bit hard and the tv very small which was disappointing given how cheap larger tvs are these days. But that wouldn’t dissuade us from renting the home again!
All was very nice, but we were not informed about the 90 steps we had to climb to get in and out of the house. It is not a problem if you are young and fit, but when you are old it is not easy to bring the luggage in and out.

Lovely place but double booked
Prior to our stay was very stressful as the owner is on two platforms and double booked us. He did help find another place to stay but sorting out the changed payment was also stressful - thought we had been given some compensation only to find out it had been used in the calculations and we also lost the discount for a weekly booking.
The property and the village were beautiful, if you walk about the pedestrian paths we found 3 small places to buy food, well stocked so needn't have worried about buying in Como, which would have made a difference as travelling by bus. Buses and boats very crowded at this time of year.
Lino's place was what we were looking for, it was above the lake with amazing views and we could swim in the lake from the property. We dove off the dock and swam in the lake a lot. Being on the dock down on the lake was a very special feeling. We even rented boats a couple of days and picked people up from the dock. Renting a boat at least one day allows you to really experience and see Lake Como from the water. Nesso is the perfect location on Lake Como and is a cool old word village with cobblestone, church bells, waterfalls and a Roman bridge. We ate at Ristorante pizzeria locanda Tre Rose for lunch and a few dinners. Everything the serve is wonderful.
Lino and the local staff are easy to work with. Relax and enjoy the lakeside lifestyle of Lake Como here.
Le giardino est très sympa avec une belle terrasse et un accès à 2 pas au lac.
Tres belle semaine dans une très jolie maison partagée avec des familles très sympathiques.
La région est escarpée et le parking parfois difficile. De bonnes jambes et un véhicule pas gros gros facilitent le quotidien. C’est le prix à payer pour ce merveilleux endroit.
Schöne Lage, schöne Wohnung, aber nur 3 Schlafzimmer
Wir waren in der EG Wohnung im vorderen Haus, das näher am See liegt. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und hat alles was man braucht. Der direkte Seezugang ist super und auch das Grundstück sehr schön. In ein paar Minutennist man zu Fuß bei einem Restaurant, beim Bäcker und einem kleinen Laden. Das Einzige was wir nicht gut fanden war das fehlende 4. Schlafzimmer. Laut Beschreibing des Objektes sind es vier Schlafzimmer, zwei davon mit Doppelbett und zwei mit je zwei Einzelbetten. Es gibt jedoch nur ein Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbett. Das vermeintliche vierte Schlafzimmer ist das ausziehbare Sofa, das im offenen Wohnbereich steht.
Großzügige Wohnung mit einmalig schönem, eigenem Seezugang
Die Wohnung ist geräumig und gut ausgestattet, mit tollem Blick auf den See und das gegenüberliegende Ufer. Auf der Terrasse, ebenfalls mit Blick auf den sie, kann man Essen, Sonnen oder den Abend ausklingen lassen. Einmalig ist aber der eigene Seezugang über einen Steg mit einem vorgelagerten kleinen Liegebereich!!!
We had a wonderful stay. The location and Nesso are very pleasant with its view on the lake and its direct access for swimming. Lino is available to help when needed.
A small drawback: the back of the apartment, which is more underground due to the natural configuration of the place, lacks a permanent ventilation system to eliminate humidity in the rooms.
This apartment is in a fabulous location with access to the lake. The apartment is well equipped and very clean. We stayed in the garden apartment which has a terrace overlooking the lake. You do lack a little privacy as the first floor apartment overlooks you. We moved the table but the addition of a large sun umbrella over the table would solve the problem. Nesso is lovely with a great restaurant, bar, pharmacist and a tiny shop. Stock up on the way unless you have to drive all the way back to Como. We had a fabulous holiday and will definitely return to Lake Como.
Nesso is a small village, but perfectly located between Como and Bellagio. So you have full access to the touristy experience, but from a small, quaint town that has a near-by grocers, several superb restaurants, and the charm of church bells echoing across the lake. Swimming access from your backyard. A patio to eat dinner outside. All around superb!
Hidden gem for a peaceful and quiet vacation, but perfectly located for easy transport th
We absolutely loved our stay at this Nesso property. The lake views, swims, quiet evenings sitting on the large patio overlooking the lake made this secluded and beautiful home the perfect place to unwind, take in the local flare and beauty of Nesso. The home is perfectly located for easy commute via bus or boat to any Lake Como town, and the people of Nesso are friendly, welcoming, and fun. We loved our stay, and hope to come back in the future.
