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.

  Amazing! Mattia and his family made my family and I (5 guest) feel welcomed and at home. Upon arrival Mattias father met us at the time of check-in. He saved... read more us a parking spot and showed us around the home. We were also welcomed with home made pasta, fruit, and goodies. The views from the every room in the home are breathtaking. Keep in mind there are stairs to get to the home but it's absolutely worth it. I would definitely come back. Thank you Mattia!

  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 couldn’t have been a better host for us! He welcomed us warmly, provided us with everything we could have asked for (fresh food and everything you need to cook... read more in the house) and was there for us for any question we had.
We spent a wonderful time in Brienno and I can only recommend everyone wanting to go there to stay at Mattia‘s place! You won’t find a better one. Thank you for everything!

  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.

  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.

  Our stay at Mattia’s place was absolutely wonderful! Not only is the place beautiful and clean, Mattia treated us with immense kindness. He stocked the house with snacks and fresh... read more foods/fruits and even helped us get to a boat excursion reservation when we first checked in and didn’t know how to navigate there (he literally drove us himself!). He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. This home away from home was a quiet slice of heaven for us in Lake Como. I highly recommend booking your stay here!

  I can't say enough about my stay in Brienno. Mattia and his parents were so kind and welcoming, and the apartment was spacious and spotless, with charming decor and... read more top-notch amenities (beautiful dishware, brand new appliances, lovely bath products). On arrival, we were greeted with a generous, thoughtful, and unexpected assortment of fresh fruits, sweets, coffee and tea, and a refrigerator stocked with fresh milk, pasta, pesto, and salad so that we could dine in if we chose and so that our morning coffee needs were covered. The linens were lovely, the towels fluffy, and the outdoor patios were a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening wine. Brienno itself is absolutely charming, and the more we traveled around, the more we appreciated the incredible views from our apartment and the peace and quiet of the little town. Don't miss the local pizzeria or exploring the labyrinth. I plan to come back to Como with my family and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else!
