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.

  We had an exceptional three nights stay as a group of three. Host's attention to detail was impeccable and all the products made available to us were of top quality.... read more The kitchen was just perfect for cooking and instead of going out we ended up making five meals, saying that nothing was amiss is an understatement. This was the best AirBnB by far we have ever stayed, host's responsiveness, scenery, fresh flower decorations, easy access to local produce and privacy of the apartment itself were astonishing. Cherry on the top was that our only concern about parking was countered by our host kindly providing access to the easy (by Italian standards) garage just downstairs. Thank you!

  5 stars - Mattia and his family are amazing and friendly hosts.

Their Airbnb is impeccable with beautiful and thoughtful touches throughout the space. It is so clean, peaceful... read more and very relaxing. It has everything you need, and more.

Communication was always quick, clear and helpful leading up to the stay and during the stay.

It's evident that they love what they do and are passionate about creating beautiful experiences for all their guests.

What made our stay extra special is they offered and prepared refreshments and snacks for the morning of my wedding which was so appreciated by all of us.

I am so thankful and I will definitely be returning again in the future.

I highly recommend.

  Our stay at Mattia’s place was absolutely wonderful! Not only is the place beautiful and clean, Mattia treated us with immense kindness. He stocked the house with snacks and fresh... read more foods/fruits and even helped us get to a boat excursion reservation when we first checked in and didn’t know how to navigate there (he literally drove us himself!). He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. This home away from home was a quiet slice of heaven for us in Lake Como. I highly recommend booking your stay here!

  Wir verbrachten 1 Woche in dieser schönen und gemütlichen Wohnung und haben uns ab dem ersten Tag sehr wohl gefühlt. Mattia hat sich nach unserer Ankunftszeit erkundigt und uns vor... read more Ort pünktlich und persönlich für die Schlüsselübergabe empfangen. Die ungefähr 80 Treppenstufen hinauf zur Wohnung werden mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht auf den Comersee belohnt. In der Wohnung wurden wir mit diversen Köstlichkeiten empfangen, sodass der erste grosse Einkauf im Lebensmittelgeschäft gut warten konnte. Auch sonst fehlte es an nichts. In der Küche ist mit Geschirr, Küchengeräten, Gewürzen etc. alles vorhanden, gut ausgestattet und sauber. Auch in den Badezimmern waren alle nötigen Utensilien wie Seife, Duschmittel, Toilettenpapier, Frottetücher… vorhanden. Schlafzimmer und Wohnzimmer waren ebenfalls einwandfrei und aufgeräumt. Der kleine gepflegte Garten mit Elektrogrill, lädt zum verweilen ein. Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt, wir kommen wieder!

  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 a wonderful stay at Mattias’ place! As a family with two kids and two lovely grandparents joining us, it was the perfect spot for a relaxed and memorable... read more trip.

Mattias’ parents gave us a warm welcome upon arrival (even though we had to adjust the arrival time during the day — they were super flexible!). They showed us everything: the flat, the surroundings, where to park — and even had a table reserved for us at a great nearby pizzeria.

The apartment was cozy and well-located, making it an ideal base to explore the beautiful Lago di Como. One tip: avoid long car journeys — instead, take the morning boat from Brienno for a scenic and peaceful ride with stunning lake views.

Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a calm and charming getaway!

  Mattia’s home is simply amazing! He left no stone unturned when it came to comfort and hospitality. The views are stunning and the home feels like an Italian paradise. There... read more are steep stairs but, even with twin toddlers, we managed just fine. Mattia helped us with our bags when we arrived, he had a breakfast spread waiting for us to indulge in, essentials were also included in the fridge and pantry and two portacots and high chairs were all set up. We have stayed in many airbnbs and hotels over the years and Mattia’s home is by far the standout. We hope to come back one day, not only because of the great apartment, but Mattias attention to detail made everything so easy for us.

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

  Alles liep perfect. De host was binnen de drie minuten aan de accomodatie en hielp ons met de koffers. Hij gaf ons ook allerlei tips die nuttig waren om ons... read more verblijf compleet te maken. De accommodatie was heel erg goed uitgerust met oog voor detail . Zo was er een grohe kraan met bruis en plat water, een buitendouche met nieuwe lig- en zitstoelen, verse eitjes, fruit, koekjes, … zelfs een taart. We voelden ons meteen thuis in deze met trappen bereikbare accommodatie met een prachtig uitzicht.
