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 can't say enough good things about Mattia and his beautiful home. Our flight was delayed so we got to his home exhausted and late. He greeted us with an... read more umbrella and warm smile, helped us carry our luggage, and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay--including food! We felt right at home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Mattia!

  We found Mattia's home and neighborhood to be the relaxing getaway we hoped for at Lake Como. We were greeted by Mattia's kind parents who helped us with luggage... read more up the stairs, gave a tour of their charming home, and welcomed us with a gift of wonderful fresh fruit, eggs and delightful local Italian treats that we snacked on during our stay. While the stairs are a climb, we enjoyed the strength it built in our legs and the view is 1000% worth it! The garden is just beautiful and fragrant. We spent our evenings on the patio playing family games, drinking vino rosso and enjoying the gorgeous lake views. Brienno is close enough to the larger towns to get to quickly for day trips, but a far enough from the summer tourists hustle and bustle. We preferred this location. Grazie Mille!

  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 place is great. The house is very charming and confortable. The view is great and the little garden is very peaceful. Allegra welcomed us and was really informative and... read more kind. Thank you and we hope we can come back to Brienno one day.

  This home was perfect for us after spending the 2 1/2 weeks before, rushing around through over-crowded Italian towns. The home was quiet, peaceful, comfortable and relaxing with absolutely stunning... read more views of Lago di Como. Brienno is a quiet & beautiful little town, which has a wonderful pizzeria and a bar open when it’s off season.
Mattia was passionate about his family’s home and his paese. He provides us with a fresh cheeses, meats, eggs, pasta and fruits from local markets, so that we didn’t arrive empty handed. Little things like that is what makes this home so memorable. Ci vediamo presto, Mattia.

  The apartment was so fabulous - so well designed with a gorgeous outdoor area and views of the lake from every room. We especially loved having dinner under the... read more stars and, waking up to such an incredible view? There are no words. Grazie mille!

  Beautiful apartment with stunning view. Enjoyed the environment and the very nice welcome

  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 was an extremely gracious host and there were so many thoughtful touches (fresh homemade pasta and bolognese, fruit and local foods presented upon arrival and fresh flowers in every... read more room). The views from every room were spectacular! Beds and furniture were extremely comfortable and beautifully curated in each room. The town is quaint and off the main tourist track.

Mattia was very responsive to all of our questions and messages.

Two very small things I would clarify for anyone booking this space.

1. There were 75-85 cobblestone steps to get to the apartment, a great workout, but could be difficult to access for some guests. (But everywhere on Lake Como has tons of steps)
2. While parking is free, it is on street public parking, so you are not guaranteed nearby parking, especially when the restaurant next door is open.

Overall, I would recommend this space to anyone, it was a perfect space to enjoy the views and culture!
