The location is stunning with views from the terrace across the Lake and down on the lovely hillside village of Nesso. We had a great 3 week stay in the quirky house, where Mira the house manager was more than helpful and available if required. The house is well equipped if you choose to cook, though we didn’t. We felt that the indoor and outdoor furniture could have been more comfortable, including the main double bed.There are 2 well stocked mini markets quite close by 100-200m down the steps, 2 bars about the same distance and a restaurant an easy 300m walk - open for dinner and some lunches, others are lower down the steep village hill.Nesso is a pretty and quaint village, but very very hilly. The walk down the very steep steps and alleyways to the ferry port, Google estimated at 17mins. Coming back up was quite hard for two quite fit seniors, requiring rest breaks along with other tourists.The roads on the Nesso side of the lake to Como or Bellagio are very narrow. As an experienced driver in Italy, our Fiat Panda was about the largest car I would drive there. 15km to Como often took 30mins mostly in 3rd gear. Equally the little road from the main road to the private car park was less than 2m wide, (there is a warning sign at the turn in) with very few (but some) passing places. Car parking spaces around the different levels of the windy road through Nesso are at a premium. We never found one in the 3 weeks stay in early June. It’s a great for exploring the Lake.
