About this property

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)!

Fabulous return visit

This was our second visit to la Rosina and it was just as lovely as we recalled. While the location is a little tricky with steep narrow access off the main road and lots of steps to the villa, for those who don’t have mobility problems the reward is a beautiful home with idyllic views. Nesso is quiet which was perfect for us, yet close by car, bus or ferry to the more touristy popular destinations around lake Como. We hope to visit again sometime.

Fantastic home in a stunning location

We had a great stay in a beautiful property. Our only minor complaint was over the communication process with the owner and property manager which was a bit haphazard. For example, a few months after paying deposit and receiving confirmation of our booking I received an email out of the blue, asking if I would like to ‘go ahead with the booking’.... this was speedily recognised as a mistake, but caused us a few hours of worry. Arrival details were also not clear. Lost on page 3 of detailed instructions on how to locate the property, was a tiny note stating we should contact the property manager before arrival. We missed this, and arrived expecting to find a key and to be able to enter the property, but could not. Fortunately we arrived at during office hours on a weekday, and were able to speak with the property manager and it was all cleared up quickly, so no harm done.... but could have been very different if we had arrived late at night, or on a Sunday. Advice to other renters - make sure you contact the property manager as stated! The road to the property was very narrow and steep as noted in other reviews, however we were able to drive our rented Peugeot estate/ people carrier down to the house.... not easy, but also not impossible!

Stay on Lake Como

We really enjoyed our stay in lino's apartment. The setting is stunning, and we loved hearing the church bells chime, and swimming in the lake.

Why they chose this property

Located in the heart of Lake Como district, Villa Rosina offers unparalleled mountain views of this idyllic area of Italy. Combines the best of old world charm with the latest amenities. Little could compare to the spender of the panoramic deck and terrace area overlooking the garden and lake. The waterfront villa is a secluded historic retreat. The villa is located off the main road via a waterfall crossed lane, down a garden staircase.

What makes this property unique

Rent a boat to explore miles of Lake Como and keep it at your private dock, swim or sunbath from the property. One of the few properties in Nesso to have water frontage and the most breath taking views. Half way between Como, know for it's silk, and Bellagio, both a short 25 minute drive.
