We spent an incredible week in Mattia’s apartment. The property is stylish, but comfortable with everything you might need for a short or long stay.
The host went out of... read more their way to enhance our stay. The welcome hamper is far beyond anything I’ve had before at an Airbnb, with delicious local produce.
My wife got an infected insect bite, and the next morning Mattia’s parents arrived with repellent, cream for the bite….and a box of pastries!!
The views from all the windows and the relaxing garden are spectacular.
Brienno itself is small with no shop, but the pizza restaurant, small bar and large terrace bar are all excellent and authentic.
It’s a shame the Brienno ferry stop is no longer running, but the buses are semi-regular if you don’t have a car.
We have already recommended this place to friends and would definitely use again if returning to beautiful Como

  We had an absolutely magical stay with friends Mattia and Mariella's Como apartment. It was comfortable, very well equipped, clean and in a beautiful location. We will be daydreaming of... read more the long evenings spent drinking wine and relaxing on the terrace overlooking the lake for years after our holiday is over.

Mattia went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was as comfortable as possible and to make check-in and check-out seamless. We particularly appreciated the quick communication and the extras left in the apartment for us to enjoy. Parking is available on the street in Brienno, and while it is a small commune, there are plenty of parks available and there was only one instance on our three day stay that we had to park about 5-10min walk away (not a big deal - it was a good excuse to walk and admire the town).

If you're staying in the apartment, we wholeheartedly recommend the local pizza restaurant for food and drinks on the rooftop and the cafe at the further end of town where you can rent out day beds and enjoy cocktails on the lake or enjoy a swim.

  A superb apartment. Incredible views over Lake Como. Everything in the apartment was top notch and there was even free food provided for when we checked in. It is not... read more the most easily accessible property due to steps, but this did not take anything away from a great holiday in a stunning location. We hope to return one day.

  The apartment was very clean and spacious. The location was perfect and beautiful views of the lake from the main rooms and bedrooms.
Very gracious host! ... read more All amenities were provided along with a great welcome food and snack package.
Easy communication with the host family and they even made reservations to the local pizza place for us per our request.

  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!

  Mattia and his family are the ultimate hosts! They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, happy and even spoiled. The apartment is absolutely beautiful and the location... read more is what dreams are made of. Yes, you need to be of good health to climb stairs but it’s worth every single step and more!
