Mattia couldn’t have been a better host for us! He welcomed us warmly, provided us with everything we could have asked for (fresh food and everything you need to cook... read more in the house) and was there for us for any question we had.
We spent a wonderful time in Brienno and I can only recommend everyone wanting to go there to stay at Mattia‘s place! You won’t find a better one. Thank you for everything!

  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!

  Mattia is a friendly host. Although I never met him personally, I did meet his father who was a real gentleman.

The description was very accurate - note... read more the stairs which are listed but are tricky!

The location was pleasant but for real flexibility with the ferry you need to go to another town.

The apartment has a lot of amenities. Such a lovely touch to have a little toy car our two year old could play with.

The views….incredible!

The pizza place….delicious!

Overall a traditional, quaint apartment with very helpful hosting.

  Mattia and his family have a wonderful home and did everything in their power to make our stay special. My family and I can’t thank them enough. The photos of... read more the property do not do it justice, the views of the lake are breathtaking. The entire flat was thoroughly cleaned when we arrived, with all amenities provided plus more. We have stayed in the area in various airBnBs and this was by far the best, as well providing excellent value for the quality of the home. Highly recommended for a quiet getaway and within reach of all key areas of Lake Como.

  This place is such a gem! Super cozy and very clean. The host went above and beyond to make our visit extra special! The view is amazing! It’s decorated so... read more beautifully! We can’t wait to visit again!
