Villetta tree Rose - Apartment Rental Listing Details

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.
