Location

Nesso is a picturesque village sitting on the Bellagio banks of Lake Como. Literally split in half by its famous gorge, it is real heaven for those who seek peace, tranquility, and all the regenerating aspects of slow-living.
Careno, part of Nesso, is one the most interesting hamlets in the the area.
Located a short distance from the nearby village of Pognana Lario, Careno is a handful of small houses arranged in a curious triangle shape, very characteristic to view from the lake.
Careno hosts the amazing Church of San Martino, a Romanesque building of medieval origin dating back to at least 1184, the year of the document signed by Pope Lucius III in which it is first mentioned.
Keys to visit the church can be obtained from the nearby Trattoria del Ponte.
The church overlooks the lake and is within walking distance of a cozy grassy beach that is very popular with locals, which is why it tends to be especially crowded especially on summer weekends.
Nesso has two piers: the main one is in the oldest part of the village (Borgovecchio), while the other is in the hamlet of Careno. Both are operational during the summer season, so in the off season it is best to reach Como or Bellagio by car.
Beaches in Nesso
If you are in Nesso and want to relax on a beach, you can get to the public beach in Careno (via del Pontile), which is partly lawn and partly natural sand.
