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.

  It was so peaceful and beautiful, and the home itself was amazing! Mattia was so helpful and friendly, going truly above and beyond any expectations!

  Mattia’s place in Brienno was truly special! Incredible views of the lake, a quiet location, and plenty of touches to make you feel right at home. The apartment is very... read more clean and homey, with modern touches that make it a pleasure to stay. Mattia was a great host. He met us at check in and left us with plenty of food, including homemade ragu and fresh pasta! When we make our way back to Lake Como, we will definitely try to stay here again.

  We were welcomed as if we had been long time family friends. The local food provisions were a great treat and we really enjoyed our time here. We would... read more definitely book the apartment again. Thanks for everything and for being so helpful and accommodating.

  Wir waren als Familie 14 Tage in der Wohnung. Von der Begrüßung weg haben wir sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Begrüßung hat der Papa von Mattia, Pierluigi vollzogen. Er hat uns... read more alles erklärt und auch Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben. Am meisten überrascht waren wir von den unzähligen Leckereien die uns bei Ankunft überreicht würden.
Der Kontakt mit Mattia bei Fragen war super schnell.
Einer der besten Airbnb Unterkünfte die wir bis jetzt hatten.

  we visited Dipinto Sul Lago, hosted by Mattia ..... from 22 - 25 July 2024.
This is a traditional modern Italian appartment, that is very nice and clean. Everything worked... read more seemlessly from start to end. All pre-information was flawless, and was done orally by Mattia's father Pierluigi, who also helped us to carry up our luggage & kept a parking space for 1 of our cars (we were 2 families).
The family had bought us some food and put in the refrigerator + we got sparkling wine & Pierluigis mother had baked us a cake and left so many other nice things.
The house is equipted with all amenities, and even cold water tap in the kitchen, even with sparkling water if you want.
The only downside we found was the stairs leading to the apartment - it is 81 steps, so if you're not in good condition, this is not for you - we actually enjoyed the excercise 🙂

  Die Ferienwohnung in Brienno hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Ausstattung ist topmodern und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Der Blick auf den Comersee vom Garten aus ist atemberaubend. Die Kommunikation mit... read more dem Gastgeber war unkompliziert und freundlich. Wir können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen!

  Mattia’s place is a true gem on Lake Como. The apartment is immaculate with views from just about every window overlooking the lake and town. Mattia’s attention to detail and... read more his family’s genuine care make you feel like your staying with family. We highly recommend you book this gorgeous house and enjoy a relaxing stay on the lake.

  Top Haus. Top Aussicht. Alles da, um sich sofort zu Hause zu fühlen. Der Urlaub konnte sofort starten.
