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!

  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!

  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.

Le lac est avec nous et nous accompagne tout au long du séjour grâce à toutes les vues que nous offre l’appartement. S’endormir et se réveiller sur le lac de Côme, difficile de demander mieux…

  We arrived in Brienno for a 6 day stay & the welcome from Mattia was awesome. Mattia's mum & dad left us gorgeous treats as a welcome that's special.... read more Loved the calm gorgeous outlook over Lake Como. Clean and had everything needed for a special adventure. Keep in mind the steps to villa is worth it once you arrive....

  This was an incredible stay! The location is stunning, views of the lake from every room and a nice quiet corner of Lake Como. The hosts are so kind and... read more thoughtful - leaving some delicious food (wine, fruits, pasta, cheese, bread) for us on arrival. I have never had that kind of generosity before from a n Airbnb host. The space is spotless, comfortable, well equipped and so nicely decorated. Having a washing machine was a huge plus for us as this came half way through a 2-week trip. Cannot say enough wonderful things. Highly recommend!!

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

  A fantastic property in a beautiful, quiet section of Lake Como! Mattia was a great host who accommodated my changing travel plans. His property is on the top... read more floor so it offers stunning views of the surrounding area, and is exactly as depicted on the website. It does take a good bit of stairs to get up there, so be cautious if you have a lot of bags or are traveling with some one with limited mobility. Parking can be a little bit of a challenge depending on the day, but if you don't mind walking 5 minutes there is something always available. It's about a 30 minute drive to Como, and has multiple ferry stops within 10 minutes, so exploring Lake Como is fairly convenient as well. All in all a beautiful property that I would most certainly go back to!

  This place is a gem. It far exceeded our expectations. The apartment is delightful with many personal touches (I won’t ruin any surprises), and the hosts showed us extraordinary hospitality.... read more We didn’t know much about the town Brienno before booking, but ended up loving it. It is small and full of locals which gives a much more authentic experience than Bellagio or Como. There is a great bar on deck in town which we swam at every single day. I highly recommend this place and hope to return myself one day.
