Wonderful location on Lake Como. Brienno isn’t a tourist hub so the town and neighborhood is quiet and calm. A great place to call home while exploring the lake. The... read more host was great. He met us when we arrived and checked us out. He even helped with some of the baby’s stuff. There was a wonderful spread of food when we arrived and we easily had enough for dinner that night and breakfast in the morning. The ferry to Bellagio and Verenna is thirty minutes away in one direction and Como is thirty minutes in the other. The town has an amazing pizzeria called Bri’en Pizza e Cafe and there is a small truck that comes by every morning with fresh goods. Keep in mind that there are quite a few steps to get to the apartment but the journey is worth it.

  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.

  Mattia is an exceptional host with a beautiful apartment. His and his families attention to detail and thoughtfulness toward our comfort were second to none. He was available all... read more hours of the day to answer questions and make recommendations. He even handled making reservations for Easter dinner for us weeks before our arrival. Highly recommend. Fantastic!

  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!!

  Loved this place. A few steps to get to it which wasn't a big deal for us. Parking wasn't ideal but at least we had a guaranteed spot, but parking... read more is often difficult in some Italian towns. The village is lovely. Very, very quiet so you'll need to be prepared to use your car to get to restaurants as there's a lively pizza place within 100 yards and that's it except for bar on the lake. The welcome basket was amazing. Gracious, responsive service especially helping with some restaurant reservations. Lots of space to relax. Nice outdoor garden although we didn't use it much. If you want to be able to walk to loads of restaurants this is not the village to stay in, but if you want a quieter place for touring around then you can't go wrong.

  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!

  The place is great. The house is very charming and confortable. The view is great and the little garden is very peaceful. Allegra welcomed us and was really informative and... read more kind. Thank you and we hope we can come back to Brienno one day.

  This was an incredible stay! The location is stunning, views of the lake from every room and a nice quiet corner of Lake Como. The hosts are so kind and... read more thoughtful - leaving some delicious food (wine, fruits, pasta, cheese, bread) for us on arrival. I have never had that kind of generosity before from a n Airbnb host. The space is spotless, comfortable, well equipped and so nicely decorated. Having a washing machine was a huge plus for us as this came half way through a 2-week trip. Cannot say enough wonderful things. Highly recommend!!
