On The Shores of Lago d' Como, Nesso is on the road from the city of
Como to Bellagio, offering a postcard view of the lake. You will
know you are in Italy the minute you arrive. The house is situated
lakefront on a private lane of a quiet little Italian village, dating
back to Roman times, close to lake attractions and Milan, with easy
trips to famous Italian cities.

Villa Rosina, owned by the Famiglia Pertusini for centuries, is a
perfect peaceful lakeside respite that puts you front and center on
the lake looking west over the wonders of this region. The house is
located off the main road via a waterfall crossed lane, down a garden
staircase. Fling open the shutters once inside, walk out onto the
patio….It's really a postcard view you have here on this private
property that comes with a lakeside garden, small dock by the shore
where you can jump into the water and short wolk to town. Villa
Rosina is perched on the shore of Como where the lake activity of
boats coming and going can be enjoyed from the terrace over a morning
café or an evening aperitif. Nesso is within walking distance and has
been a lakeside village from Roman times. It is your little step
back in time. With great views, lovely gardens of cherry and chestnut
trees next to the house.

Nesso, 16 km midway between Como and Bellagio, is on the Como "leg"
of the lake. It is an old centre with picturesque groups of houses
spread along the hilly slopes and along the shore of the lake. In
Nesso you have a few restaurants, grocery, pharmacy, post office and
about anything else you need for a relaxing time. Conveniently
located for trips to Bellagio, Milan, Lago Maggiore, Lago d'Garda and
Lugano, Switzerland is 55 km away.

The lake is meters in front of the rental.


San Pietro e Paulo's church bells toll on the half hour from the
steeple seen from the balcony. The Roman Catholic Church, one of
three in town, was built in 1095.

A ferry stop is found up an ancient path and the little fisherman's
harbor of Nesso just a few minutes further.

The town is dotted with waterfalls. In the center of town the Tuf
and Nose streams, which descend from the Pian del Tivano, join to
form a waterfall that plunges spectacularly into a gorge which can be
seen from the road or from the lake, by passing under an old Roman
bridge.

Near Piazza Castello, by the waterfall on the main road, there are
the ruins of an ancient castle. The ruins set themselves up with
Romanesque showiness. The nineteenth century medieval fortification
is highlighted by three little towers that are grafted on the ancient
massive wall. It dominated the houses of the ancient village, where
the inhabitants found safe shelter and defense in the moments of
danger.

Mountains to hike, with surprises around each turn. The Pian di Nesso
(Plain of Nesso) is at a height of about 900m. It is a scenic
mountain locality and is on the way to Monte Palazone and Monte San
Primo.
