Lake Front with Large Balcony, Lake Access & Boat Dock

La Dolce Vita'
On The Shores of Lago d' Como, Nesso is on the road from the city of Como to Bellagio, offering postcard views of the lake. You will know you are in Italy the minute you arrive. The house is situated in Nesso, a lakefront Italian village, dating back to Roman times, a step back in time. 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 lakeside retreat that puts you front and center on the lake looking west over the wonders of the region. The house is located off the main road via a waterfall crossed lane, down a garden staircase providing the perfect waterfront vacation in this secluded, historic retreat.

Enjoy the lakeside garden, boat dock, where you swim, and only a short walk to town to restaurants, bars and the ferry. Villa Rosina is perched on the shore of Lake Como where the lake activity of boats coming and going can be enjoyed from the terrace over a morning café or an evening aperitif. 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 water front 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.

A very pleasant apartment which was well positioned immediately next to the lake in Nesso, a quiet village equi-distant between Como and Bellagio. The terrace was quite simply spectacular - sitting out watching the boats on the lake was so tranquil throughout the day. Access to the lake for late afternoon swimming was also delightful (and much needed after some sweltering days)!

Beautiful location on Lake Como
This place is conveniently located between Como and Bellagio, in the community of Nesso. The road around the lake is very narrow, so it was really nice to have beautiful walking paths to restaurants, gelato shops and ferrys. The house is well cooled in the summer heat and is very comfortable with great views. We enjoyed our mornings and evenings on the desk watching all the boats go by.

Wonderful Getaway!!
Being in Nesso was so lovely. We spent every morning on the porch watching the lake. Most days we went down to the dock for swimming. We decided to not have a car so the grocery store was a ten minute walk as was the distance to the ferry stop to get to other parts of the lake. We walked to the waterfall and enjoyed jumping off the bridge. If you want to get away, this is a lovely small town.

Stunning views in a perfect location. We will be back!
The house was perfectly equip for a family of 4. Three beds, plus too baths made it convenient for everyone in the family to have privacy and space. The AC in the bedrooms made sleeping a breeze. The apartment was walking distance to a couple restaurants, but we preferred to drive do to the narrow Italy streets. Lots of steps to walk up and down to the apartment, but we did not mind, because it allowed us to get our daily steps in. The apartment was actually cleaner and prettier than the VRBO website showed. My daughters loved jumping in the water at the boat dock. We had an excellent time and are already talking about when we can come back. Our host, Lino was excellent in communicating with us before and during our stay. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Nice Place
We stayed for four nights, while touring Italy with our two sons, ages 23 and 21. It’s as beautiful as the pictures show, however, the steps to get down to the property and the driveway, others need to know, may be a challenge. It is a very steep driveway and many steps down to the house. Coming up to the main road could pose a challenge to those not able to handle a lot of stairs. Though Nesso is beautiful, there are limited options for food. We rented a car from Como to be able to travel for restaurants, etc. I would absolutely recommend this rental as it is just gorgeous and has everything. The deck and the views are breathtaking and the home itself has a very warm feel. Would love to return in th colder months to use the beautiful fireplace. The owner was always accessible to questions. Come and see for yourself, you will NOT be disappointed.

Bellisimo e Perfetto!!
What a wonderful place we were fortunate enough to stay at for a week in May! This exceptionally well-maintained middle apartment was exactly as shown and described on the listing, and very comfortable for 6 adults inside and outside. Hosts Lino and Amy were welcoming and quickly answered questions as needed. Nesso was a perfect, quieter little town for us. We enjoyed walking the ancient Roman trail to go to the ferry launch for trips to other towns, to restaurants or to the market. We especially enjoyed our time on the great wraparound veranda taking in the spectacular views with our morning cappuccinos, evening meals, and glasses of wine. This spot is *very* special. For us, it was the best rental we've ever stayed at over our many decades of travel. We highly recommend this Villa Rosina apartment to all. Grazie, Lino and Amy!

Can I give this place 6 STARS please??
Quite simply—off the charts. Anyone who has stayed in Como before knows that to get a place right on the water ranks among the world’s great locations, so this place already had massive props just based on location alone. Plus a little dock?? Incredible! My family of 5 (two grown kids, one spouse, plus my husband and I, reveled in our daily belly flops, floats, and swims in the stunning water, all under the watchful gaze of families of swans, mergansers, and ducks, bells from the church giving a gentle ding-dong now and then. Then we would towel off, loll in the canvas chairs for a bit, then walk the stairs up to the house, which perched on the rise above the lake like a butter-yellow birthday cake. It wasn’t all stuffy and fancy—just wonderfully comfortable and inviting. We enjoyed every corner of the house, which had every single thing you could want. Aperativos on the broad veranda (we were in the 3-bedroom middle unit) overlooking the lake at sunset were especially wonderful. The kitchen was easy and roomy, and we enjoyed making a couple of suppers with goods bought from the tidy little market a short walk away, where we would get fresh eggs, croissants, fruits & veggies every day. Nesso is tiny but has awesome pizza at Tre Rose overlooking the lake. Since Nesso has limited ferry service, we found it best with our big bunch to drive to Bellagio (15 minutes), where the ferry service is much more frequent. Note that the driveway takes some nerves of steel, but it’s doable if you don’t freak out too much! Our host made the entire process easy, relaxed, and problem-free—he was super available and we can’t thank him enough for our remarkable stay. Go go go go go!!! You will NEVER forget it!
