Mattia and his family have a wonderful home and did everything in their power to make our stay special. My family and I can’t thank them enough. The photos of... read more the property do not do it justice, the views of the lake are breathtaking. The entire flat was thoroughly cleaned when we arrived, with all amenities provided plus more. We have stayed in the area in various airBnBs and this was by far the best, as well providing excellent value for the quality of the home. Highly recommended for a quiet getaway and within reach of all key areas of Lake Como.

  We had an exceptional three nights stay as a group of three. Host's attention to detail was impeccable and all the products made available to us were of top quality.... read more The kitchen was just perfect for cooking and instead of going out we ended up making five meals, saying that nothing was amiss is an understatement. This was the best AirBnB by far we have ever stayed, host's responsiveness, scenery, fresh flower decorations, easy access to local produce and privacy of the apartment itself were astonishing. Cherry on the top was that our only concern about parking was countered by our host kindly providing access to the easy (by Italian standards) garage just downstairs. Thank you!

  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!☀️😊

  If your looking for a quiet picturesque town in Lake Como. This is the place. Waken by sunshine and church bells each morning. Just a dream come true. Everything you... read more need and more was provided for us. Mattia a perfect host. We can’t wait to return!

  Alles liep perfect. De host was binnen de drie minuten aan de accomodatie en hielp ons met de koffers. Hij gaf ons ook allerlei tips die nuttig waren om ons... read more verblijf compleet te maken. De accommodatie was heel erg goed uitgerust met oog voor detail . Zo was er een grohe kraan met bruis en plat water, een buitendouche met nieuwe lig- en zitstoelen, verse eitjes, fruit, koekjes, … zelfs een taart. We voelden ons meteen thuis in deze met trappen bereikbare accommodatie met een prachtig uitzicht.

  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.

  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!!

  Bella vista!
Attentive + Friendly Mattia was waiting for us to arrive and the kitchen was stocked with fresh goodies for dinner + breakfast.

Bright natural light, creative... read more steps 90 steps up from the. Urn for a super view of Lago di Como!

Grazie mille:-)

  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!

  This place is incredible and we had the most amazing time. There are stunning views from the windows and in the private yard. Mattia's family left us with fresh pasta,... read more sauces and all sorts of other delicious foods to enjoy. We cooked almost every night at home, ate outside, and just enjoyed the home. Brienno is a quiet town, but if you don't want to drive, is easily accessible by bus, and the ferry during the summer. Lake Como lives up to the hype and Brienno is a beautiful and peaceful corner of the lake to enjoy it! Highly reccomend!!
