I can't recommend Mattia's lovely home enough! The setting and atmosphere is exceptional and you can tell so much care is put into making sure guests have an unforgettable experience.... read more />
When we arrived, Mattia had saved us a parking spot near the entrance so unloading our bags was a breeze. He took time to get us familiar with the apartment and no detail was overlooked. From fresh fruits and vegetables, jam prepared by his father and homemade bolognese from his mom you really feel like you're at home.

10/10 will return again to visit this very special place!

  Mattia was a great host! The apartment exceeded our expectations and Mattia provided great service throughout our stay, eg. dinner reservation, some food, fruits, snacks and wine at arrival, etc.... read more 10/10 recommended!

  Amazing luxury apartment with stunning views of the lake, great attention to detail and loads of extras. Mattia was easy to communicate with and was very accommodating for our needs... read more with a young baby. A perfect base to explore all that Lake Como has to offer.

  This home is so much more charming than expected. The surrounding area adds to the charm with the church bells, a lido that is walkable along with a cafe and... read more a fresh meat/cheese truck parked within walking distance. This is an incredible stay.

  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!!

  It was so peaceful and beautiful, and the home itself was amazing! Mattia was so helpful and friendly, going truly above and beyond any expectations!

  Perfect stay, really great location and communication

  Fantastic experience all around. Mattia set the bar by which all other hosts will be measured. The home was comfortable, clean, and wonderfully provisioned for our stay. The groceries that... read more Mattia provided were an absolute life-saver and meant the world to us. Brienno is a quiet and pretty village with great old passages to explore near the shore (underneath and around the old buildings that line Via Regina road)… and the views from the property are amazing.

Parking can be a bit tricky in anything larger than an estate car (station wagon), but Mattia helped us with suggestions and instructions about the house’s allocated spot. The fact that Mattia met us and helped with luggage and told us everything we needed to know about the location was absolutely above and beyond.

We would highly recommend this stay to anyone — not just for the great home but also for the wonderful hospitality.

  We had an absolutely magical stay with friends Mattia and Mariella's Como apartment. It was comfortable, very well equipped, clean and in a beautiful location. We will be daydreaming of... read more the long evenings spent drinking wine and relaxing on the terrace overlooking the lake for years after our holiday is over.

Mattia went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was as comfortable as possible and to make check-in and check-out seamless. We particularly appreciated the quick communication and the extras left in the apartment for us to enjoy. Parking is available on the street in Brienno, and while it is a small commune, there are plenty of parks available and there was only one instance on our three day stay that we had to park about 5-10min walk away (not a big deal - it was a good excuse to walk and admire the town).

If you're staying in the apartment, we wholeheartedly recommend the local pizza restaurant for food and drinks on the rooftop and the cafe at the further end of town where you can rent out day beds and enjoy cocktails on the lake or enjoy a swim.

  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!
