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.

  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!

  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.

  Fantastic stay at Mattia's apartment! The description matched the reality when we turned up - very clean, stylish and comfortable, and great location - easy to get around Como without... read more staying at the crowded segments. Mattia and his father were very helpful with the check-in process and made us feel very comfortable. We had no complaints or inconveniences throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay in Como, especially for the unbeatable view of the lake from your own front porch. Not to forget the generous portions of food that the hosts had provided prior to check-in!

Thanks, Mattia and Pierluigi!

  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!
