This place is "beyond the stars." I gave it a five star rating in every respect, but it is really far beyond five stars. The apartment/house is absolutely lovely and... read more has everything you need. It also has a spectacular view of the mountains and Lake Como. Brienno is a small village where we found everyone to go out of their way to be helpful to us. It is quiet and away from the tourist frenzy of the bigger towns. Yet, Brienno is within easy distance of stores, hiking, swimming, excellent restaurants, and so forth. Finally, Mattia and Marinella are truly kind. Providing lots of information, as well as a cornucopia of treats on the day of arrival.

  Luxurious - everything we needed and more. The views were breathtaking. Would consider returning for our honeymoon.

  Die Ferienwohnung in Brienno hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Ausstattung ist topmodern und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Der Blick auf den Comersee vom Garten aus ist atemberaubend. Die Kommunikation mit... read more dem Gastgeber war unkompliziert und freundlich. Wir können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen!

  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!!

  Nous avons passé un super séjour dans ce magnifique appartement, les marches à monter valent largement la vue !

Je recommande ce logement les yeux fermés

  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!

  Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in dieser Unterkunft am Comer See! Die Lage ist einfach traumhaft, mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht auf den See und die umliegenden Berge. Die Umgebung lädt... read more zu entspannten Spaziergängen und Erkundungen ein – der perfekte Ort, um zur Ruhe zu kommen.

Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die außergewöhnliche Freundlichkeit des Gastgebers. Von der Begrüßung bis zur Abreise wurden wir herzlich umsorgt und mit tollen Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants versorgt. Man spürt, dass hier mit viel Liebe und Hingabe gearbeitet wird.

Die Unterkunft selbst war makellos sauber, gemütlich und bestens ausgestattet. Wir kommen definitiv wieder und können diesen Ort jedem wärmstens empfehlen!

  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!!

  Mattia’s place is a true gem on Lake Como. The apartment is immaculate with views from just about every window overlooking the lake and town. Mattia’s attention to detail and... read more his family’s genuine care make you feel like your staying with family. We highly recommend you book this gorgeous house and enjoy a relaxing stay on the lake.
