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.

  Fabulous hosts in the most charming home in Brienno. We enjoyed the yard immensely. The views from all the rooms were so beautiful. We were so surprised... read more by the welcoming gifts, such as, fresh produce, eggs, homemade bolognese, homemade jam, and a pie! We have never has such wonderful treatment at an Airbnb.
Mattia was always available for any questions. I highly recommend this wonderful escape to Lake Como. I hope to come back someday soon.

  Our stay was amazing from start to finish! Mattia was so responsive on text that check in was so smooth and easy. We arrived and were shown the garage for... read more parking and then were taken on a tour of the apartment. It was as beautiful as it looks in the pictures, but what really made this a stand out stay was how accommodating and generous Mattia and his family had been. They had left us milk, a few things to put a lovely lunch together, breads, a bottle of wine, things for breakfast, and a home made tart! They are the best air bnb hosts I have ever had - friendly, informative and accommodating. Brienno itself was a beautiful and authentic small town, with loads of swimming places, an amazing pizza restaurant and a fab terraced bar by the water. Close enough to the big towns to be convenient but small enough to be away from crowds and really feel immersed in the Italian experience. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

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

  Wow! Anyone considering managing or owning an Airbnb should stay here. In fact Airbnb should offer clinics using this property and this host family to demonstrate how well it can... read more (and should) be done. They have thought of literally EVERYTHING that it takes to make a stay exceptional. We didn’t want to leave!

While we didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Mattia, his father Pierluigi was easily one of the nicest & most helpful hosts I’ve ever met. To say we will be back isn’t just talk…While Brienno is a small & quiet village, we can be sure there’s a place (this place) to call home next year while on Como.

  The apartment was very clean and spacious. The location was perfect and beautiful views of the lake from the main rooms and bedrooms.
Very gracious host! ... read more All amenities were provided along with a great welcome food and snack package.
Easy communication with the host family and they even made reservations to the local pizza place for us per our request.

  Wir haben uns die Woche in Mattia‘s Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir haben die Ruhe und Ursprünglichkeit des Ortes sehr genossen. Der Blick auf den See war fantastisch - vom... read more Garten aus und nahezu von fast allen Fenstern im Haus.

  Wir (Eltern, Oma, Kids 9, 13) waren rundum zufrieden mit dem Aufenthalt von Buchung über Ankunft (großartiger persönlicher Empfang mit einem Grundstock an leckeren typischen Spezialitäten, die wir im Laufe... read more der Woche alle probiert haben, Kuchen, Obst, Gemüse und sogar Kühlwaren und eine persönliche Einführung und Begrüßung) über den gesamten Aufenthalt. Die Wohnung ist klasse ausgestattet, wohnlich und sowohl diese als auch der kleine Garten bieten großartige Ausblicke auf den See und die Umgebung und eine Auslaufmöglichkeit für den Hund. Ankommen und wohlfühlen ist hier angesagt 😊.
Als wir staubedingt über 3 Stunden später als angekündigt ankamen, war Mattia absolut liebenswürdig und unkompliziert und seine lieben Eltern haben den Check-in übernommen.
Die Pizzeria nebenan, die Möglichkeit zur Nutzung der angebotenen Fährverbindung am See, die romantische Atmosphäre, der Lebensmittelvan mit lokalen Produkten, die Waldnähe des Hauses!
Ein Traum und Paradies! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

  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.

  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.
