Great place and great host.

  We loved our stay in Brienno at Mattia’s home. Pierluigi welcomed us at our car, helped us with our luggage up the stairs and filled us with wonderful information about... read more his childhood home and the surrounding area. The home is beautifully decorated and has the most magnificent views from the terrace and each room of the home. We enjoyed exploring the tunnels in Brienno and other towns around the lake. We had the best pizza at Bri’en which was recommended to us. We had a drink one night and we were able to wave to our girls on the terrace at the house ; ). Lovely place to stay. We felt very safe and very welcome. Thank you!

  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!

  5 stars - Mattia and his family are amazing and friendly hosts.

Their Airbnb is impeccable with beautiful and thoughtful touches throughout the space. It is so clean, peaceful... read more and very relaxing. It has everything you need, and more.

Communication was always quick, clear and helpful leading up to the stay and during the stay.

It's evident that they love what they do and are passionate about creating beautiful experiences for all their guests.

What made our stay extra special is they offered and prepared refreshments and snacks for the morning of my wedding which was so appreciated by all of us.

I am so thankful and I will definitely be returning again in the future.

I highly recommend.

  Fantastic experience all around. Mattia set the bar by which all other hosts will be measured. The home was comfortable, clean, and wonderfully provisioned for our stay. The groceries that... read more Mattia provided were an absolute life-saver and meant the world to us. Brienno is a quiet and pretty village with great old passages to explore near the shore (underneath and around the old buildings that line Via Regina road)… and the views from the property are amazing.

Parking can be a bit tricky in anything larger than an estate car (station wagon), but Mattia helped us with suggestions and instructions about the house’s allocated spot. The fact that Mattia met us and helped with luggage and told us everything we needed to know about the location was absolutely above and beyond.

We would highly recommend this stay to anyone — not just for the great home but also for the wonderful hospitality.

  Our stay was amazing from start to finish! Mattia was so responsive on text that check in was so smooth and easy. We arrived and were shown the garage for... read more parking and then were taken on a tour of the apartment. It was as beautiful as it looks in the pictures, but what really made this a stand out stay was how accommodating and generous Mattia and his family had been. They had left us milk, a few things to put a lovely lunch together, breads, a bottle of wine, things for breakfast, and a home made tart! They are the best air bnb hosts I have ever had - friendly, informative and accommodating. Brienno itself was a beautiful and authentic small town, with loads of swimming places, an amazing pizza restaurant and a fab terraced bar by the water. Close enough to the big towns to be convenient but small enough to be away from crowds and really feel immersed in the Italian experience. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

  The apartment was perfect, with beautiful scenery and views of Lake Como from every window and room. Quiet town with great lake access, walking distance. The home was stocked... read more with food and water. Our family had an amazing time. Thank you, Mattia, Pierluigi, and Marinella for your hospitality.
