The best time to go to Nesso is typically from late spring (May) to early autumn (September), when the weather is warm and pleasant, superb for enjoying the lake and outdoor activities.
May and June offer comfortable temperatures, usually ranging from 15°C to 25°C, with fewer crowds than the peak summer months. This period is ideal for those who enjoy hiking the surrounding trails or exploring the village's historic architecture without the intense heat. The Fiumelatte, one of Italy's shortest rivers, is often at its most impressive during these months.
July and August are the warmest months, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C. This is the prime time for swimming in Lake Como, taking boat trips, and dining al fresco. While it's the busiest period, Nesso, being a smaller village, generally feels less crowded than the larger towns on the lake. If you're planning a trip with family and want to maximise time on the water, this is an excellent choice.
September brings slightly cooler temperatures, typically between 18°C and 25°C, and the crowds begin to thin out. The water remains warm enough for swimming in early September, and the changing colours of the foliage around the lake create a picturesque setting.
