Mattia was a very generous host. He provided us with some fruit, treats, meats & cheese, eggs water, bread and so much more upon our arrival. The house was... read more beautiful. Air conditioning worked great. Kitchen was very well stocked and equipped with everything. Bathrooms were clean and had great water pressure. The bedrooms were comfortable and good size. The front entrance courtyard was a great place to start the day with breakfast and end the night with a glass of wine. The pizza place down the road played great music in the evening too. We loved the area and explored nearby towns and villages. Rent a boat if you can…the most fantastic end to our 3 weeks in Italy. Thank you Mattia. We cannot wait to return!

  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!

  Mattia’s place in Brienno was truly special! Incredible views of the lake, a quiet location, and plenty of touches to make you feel right at home. The apartment is very... read more clean and homey, with modern touches that make it a pleasure to stay. Mattia was a great host. He met us at check in and left us with plenty of food, including homemade ragu and fresh pasta! When we make our way back to Lake Como, we will definitely try to stay here again.

  Mattia is an amazing host and his apartment is stunning. He is thoughtful and attentive to every detail. He started our visit by saving a parking spot for us before... read more welcoming us to his lovely apartment. There are lake views from every window. It’s bright, clean, and spacious and has a beautiful yard with a lake view. Brienno is a cute town that feels very authentic and non- touristy. There is only one restaurant and no market in town other than a van that comes in the mornings (but not on Sundays). That said, Mattia had quite a bit of food available in the apartment including homemade jams and pasta sauces. There was enough for our family to eat in for most meals. If you plan to visit other towns by ferry, it’s important to note that the ferry only stops in Brienno a few times a day. You can drive to another town nearby to catch it, but parking can be a challenge (both for the ferry and when you return to Brienno). We loved our stay at Mattie’s place and found it quite relaxing and beautiful.

  Wonderful, elegant, unique place with a host that truly went the extra mile for us: Quick communication, common sense guidance and enough food for a couple of snacks/meals.

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…

  Fantastic apartment with stunning views and delightful furnishings and decor. We loved the little garden which gave our dog space to run. The steps up to the apartment could be... read more challenging for some but we enjoyed the daily exercise they required. The town of Brienno is interesting, quiet and quaint and well connected. It is well situated allowing easy exploration of what Lake Como has to offer. Nearby Argegno has a nice selection of restaurants and great boat connections as well as boat hire.

Mattia and his Mum & Dad are fantastic hosts doing everything they can to make life easy. The welcome hamper was fabulous and the kitchen was well stocked with condiments, oils, etc, etc.

We hope to return!!

  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!

  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!
