Iconic villas, a hidden waterfall, and a swim in the lake — two unhurried hours on the most beautiful stretch of water in Italy.
The Route
La Dolce Vista extends the Villas Escape further along the lake — past the grand estates of the central shore, all the way to the spectacular Nesso waterfall gorge.
The Highlight
Nesso is one of the least-visited villages on Lake Como, tucked into a deep limestone gorge on the eastern shore. The waterfall that plunges through the Orrido di Nesso into the lake is almost impossible to reach on foot — but from the water, the view is extraordinary.
Most visitors to Lake Como never see it. On La Dolce Vista, it's one of the highlights of the journey.
