The apartment was so fabulous - so well designed with a gorgeous outdoor area and views of the lake from every room. We especially loved having dinner under the... read more stars and, waking up to such an incredible view? There are no words. Grazie mille!

  Very cute apartment 🙂 Communication was very easy, so it was a very nice stay in all aspects!

  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.

  If we could give Mattia and this place 12 stars, we would! The Airbnb was in a stunning and private location. Mattia greeted us upon arrival, showed us around the... read more place and gifted us some delicious food. Brienno is a sleepy town so the thoughtful touch of food was great when we couldn’t get to the store right away. A car is a must to stay here but it’s only a short drive from Como. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful stay on Lake Como.

  We truly had a perfect stay. The location couldn’t be better, the view is insanely great, and we just felt right at home. Mattia went out of his way to... read more make us feel welcome at the place and in the town. Looking forward to returning some day, I hope!

  This is a lovely apartment with a stunning view, and a fantastic host. Mattia was always very fast to respond, friendly, and super helpful. We were greeted down at the... read more street upon arrival and shown exactly where to park and how to find the apartment. They even welcomed us with food items, a bottle of wine, and a bunch of sweet treats, which we appreciated so much after a long travel day. We loved the apartment and it was enough room for a family of five. And the kitchen had everything we needed to make several meals. And the patio/garden overlooking the lake was stunning.

  Mattia was an outstanding host, and this was a perfect apartment for our family of 4 with 100 small touches that made our stay fantastic. The pictures don't lie; the... read more views from this apartment are outstanding!

  Mattia was an extremely gracious host and there were so many thoughtful touches (fresh homemade pasta and bolognese, fruit and local foods presented upon arrival and fresh flowers in every... read more room). The views from every room were spectacular! Beds and furniture were extremely comfortable and beautifully curated in each room. The town is quaint and off the main tourist track.

Mattia was very responsive to all of our questions and messages.

Two very small things I would clarify for anyone booking this space.

1. There were 75-85 cobblestone steps to get to the apartment, a great workout, but could be difficult to access for some guests. (But everywhere on Lake Como has tons of steps)
2. While parking is free, it is on street public parking, so you are not guaranteed nearby parking, especially when the restaurant next door is open.

Overall, I would recommend this space to anyone, it was a perfect space to enjoy the views and culture!
