Nesso is located on Lake Como in the middle between Bellagio and Como. The municipality includes the following fractions: Borgo, Castello, Vico, Scerio, Onzanigo, Tronno, Lissogno and Careno. The morphology of the territory has strongly influenced the development of Nesso which is made up of various locations scattered on the steep slopes of the mountains that flow into the lake.

Today , this picturesque Italian village definitely is one of the top destinations to visit.
