Amazing apartment! Very close to main attractions in Cernobbio & Como. Super close to the ferry.
Great host who is very responsive!

  If you are looking at this place - book it right now!!! We could not say enough glowing things about this stay and this family. We stayed here for the... read more week prior to our wedding and words could not describe our gratitude for the way they went above and beyond to make this a magical experience for us!

Regarding the stay: The breakfast they include is marvelous and they went above and beyond to even provide a fresh breakfast on the morning of our wedding! The home itself is a bit hard to reach (a lot of steps uphill, so not for the faint of heart), but gosh is it worth it! The views are amazing in this essentially 360-view home; like, really - breathtaking to watch the sun rise and set. We found the bell-tower quite charming and was not disruptive at all with the windows closed. We were never short on any food, drink, amenity, or space. They think of literally everything - even down to items for children if you have any. The space is comfortable, the AC is great, and everywhere was very clean. The home itself is thoughtfully and beautifully decorated. Truly one of the best Airbnb experiences of anyone who came to our wedding, and one of our very favorites ever! Although the historic town of Brienno itself does not have too much to offer, it's located very ideally on the lake and not far from any major town or ferry port! Furthermore, Mattia's family provided us with great spots both near and far for food! This stay is perfection as far as one can go for Airbnbs on the lake!

Regarding the hosts: We could write a novel on our gratitude towards Mattia and his parents. To our complete surprise, Mattia's family decorated the entire home since they heard we were staying there for our wedding! Not only that, Marinella hand-painted and embroidered special items for us and Pierluigi literally hammered a nail into a beam in the home just so my wedding dress could hang fully!! They even left fresh food for an easy, authentic Italian dinner for our first night (which of course lasted much longer than that)! Their thoughtfulness even extended to securing us a coveted dinner reservation and arranging for a private taxi for us to get there. Unfortunately, during our time on the lake and our wedding, we encountered a taxi strike and there were no cars to rent in all of Como. And as if their kindness was not already overwhelming enough - Mattia's family literally rented their own car to us just so our stay wouldn't be ruined (And it quite literally would have been ruined without it)!

Although we can't guarantee you will experience this exact time with them that we did, we know that this is all a testament to their character. They are thoughtful, detail-oriented, attentive, and kind. This stay is beautiful, well-priced, and actually worth the inevitable hike up stairs you will encounter on the lake. We will forever remember this amazing stay and family!

  Our stay at Mattia’s place was absolutely wonderful! Not only is the place beautiful and clean, Mattia treated us with immense kindness. He stocked the house with snacks and fresh... read more foods/fruits and even helped us get to a boat excursion reservation when we first checked in and didn’t know how to navigate there (he literally drove us himself!). He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. This home away from home was a quiet slice of heaven for us in Lake Como. I highly recommend booking your stay here!

  If you are looking for a peaceful place and beautiful surroundings then this appartment is for you! You will be stunned by the beauty of the lake and mountains. Waking... read more up to this scenery every day and being able to see it from every window is a treat that no one deserves and yet you are living it every moment of your day. Easy reachable by car, by the lake and the host is simply one of the best. We used Airbnb for years and Mattia is one of our favorite hosts up to date. Quick with responses, easy to communicate, and very helpful. He supplies you with various amounts of different types of food to end your evening of arrival or start the morning and then you can drive to the nearest supermarket Cetti 15 min by car on a straight road and it has everything. And did I mention the steps…you need to climb up to be in paradise. Thank you Mattia for sharing this place with the world of adventurous people!

  This place is "beyond the stars." I gave it a five star rating in every respect, but it is really far beyond five stars. The apartment/house is absolutely lovely and... read more has everything you need. It also has a spectacular view of the mountains and Lake Como. Brienno is a small village where we found everyone to go out of their way to be helpful to us. It is quiet and away from the tourist frenzy of the bigger towns. Yet, Brienno is within easy distance of stores, hiking, swimming, excellent restaurants, and so forth. Finally, Mattia and Marinella are truly kind. Providing lots of information, as well as a cornucopia of treats on the day of arrival.

  Absolutely stunning! Such a warm welcome. The apartment is amazing and the views are spectacular! This is a truly beautiful place. We have had an exceptional stay in Brienno.... read more Thank you so much Mattia, Pierluigi and Marinella for your advice and recommendations, for attention to details: fresh flowers, embroidered sheets, wedgewood plates and of course for the thoughtfulness of fruits, bread, biscuits, ham, cheese, pasta and the tart.
Renting a boat from Turati in Argegno was a great idea!
We will surely come back again!

  Amazing luxury apartment with stunning views of the lake, great attention to detail and loads of extras. Mattia was easy to communicate with and was very accommodating for our needs... read more with a young baby. A perfect base to explore all that Lake Como has to offer.

  Herzlichen Dank Mattia und Gianluigi, der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Die paar Treppenstufen haben Mama etwas Furcht eingeflösst, aber Eure wunderbare Gastfreundschaft und die tolle Wohnung mit Aussicht überall haben... read more das mehr als wett gemacht. Vielen Dank, vielleicht ein anderes Mal wieder, alles Gute! LG Chris, Naira, Shushan und Joy

  This place is incredible and we had the most amazing time. There are stunning views from the windows and in the private yard. Mattia's family left us with fresh pasta,... read more sauces and all sorts of other delicious foods to enjoy. We cooked almost every night at home, ate outside, and just enjoyed the home. Brienno is a quiet town, but if you don't want to drive, is easily accessible by bus, and the ferry during the summer. Lake Como lives up to the hype and Brienno is a beautiful and peaceful corner of the lake to enjoy it! Highly reccomend!!

  Luxurious - everything we needed and more. The views were breathtaking. Would consider returning for our honeymoon.
