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

  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.

  I can't recommend Mattia's lovely home enough! The setting and atmosphere is exceptional and you can tell so much care is put into making sure guests have an unforgettable experience.... read more />
When we arrived, Mattia had saved us a parking spot near the entrance so unloading our bags was a breeze. He took time to get us familiar with the apartment and no detail was overlooked. From fresh fruits and vegetables, jam prepared by his father and homemade bolognese from his mom you really feel like you're at home.

10/10 will return again to visit this very special place!

  The apartment was amazing. After realizing that the address MUST include the town (there are multiple of their address number/street in different towns around the lake), we were kindly greeted... read more by Mattias mom and dad. The garage parking was excellent. The steps to the apartment are a bit brutal but manageable with handrails all the way up. The view is so so so worth it. Mattias family is clearly proud of the apartment and they should be. They were probably the most hospitable airbnb hosts I’ve ever had in my 8+ years of airbnbing. It’s perfect for a family. They had a high chair for my daughter and food, snacks, everything we needed. The water is drinkable, showers great, robes were so nice, and plenty of towels and extra blankets! We felt right at home and it made the stay so much better. The welcome book was super helpful in picking activities and restaurants. Thank you again!

  Very beautiful place with a stunning view of Lake Como. Clean apartment, friendly owner. When checking in, we found various treats from the owner. There are practically no entertainment and... read more restaurants within walking distance, only one pizzeria nearby. The nearest supermarket is 15 minutes away by car. The place is good if you travel by private car. With thanks to Mattia!☀️😊

  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.

  On s’est sentie comme à la maison.

  Wir waren mit Familie, Hund und Enkelin 10 Tage in der schönen Wohnung von Mattia.
Gut ausgestatte Wohnung inklusive der Küche. Erste Lebensmittel bereits vorhanden und wir brauchten nicht... read more gleich einzukaufen. Vielen Dank dafür!
Mattia hat uns beim Gepäck geholfen um es die Treppenstufen hoch zu tragen.
Trotz des leider schlechten Wetters haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und beabsichtigen wieder zu kommen!
Beste Grüße Horst

  Die Eltern von Mattia haben uns sehr herzlich willkommen geheissen. Dass sie für uns diverseste Lebensmittel bereit gestellt haben, um uns die Ankunft zu erleichtern, hat uns extrem gefreut! Die... read more Einrichtung der Wohnung ist sehr liebevoll gestaltet und die Aussicht auf den See grandios! Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!

  Wonderful location on Lake Como. Brienno isn’t a tourist hub so the town and neighborhood is quiet and calm. A great place to call home while exploring the lake. The... read more host was great. He met us when we arrived and checked us out. He even helped with some of the baby’s stuff. There was a wonderful spread of food when we arrived and we easily had enough for dinner that night and breakfast in the morning. The ferry to Bellagio and Verenna is thirty minutes away in one direction and Como is thirty minutes in the other. The town has an amazing pizzeria called Bri’en Pizza e Cafe and there is a small truck that comes by every morning with fresh goods. Keep in mind that there are quite a few steps to get to the apartment but the journey is worth it.
