A superb apartment. Incredible views over Lake Como. Everything in the apartment was top notch and there was even free food provided for when we checked in. It is not... read more the most easily accessible property due to steps, but this did not take anything away from a great holiday in a stunning location. We hope to return one day.

  We loved our stay at Mattia’s. The town was fantastic and had everything we needed in walking distance - wine/snack bar right on the water, coffee bar, delicious pizza... read more restaurant, and a pop up vegetable stand. The apartment has an incredible view and was a prefect stop on our trip. Be aware there are a lot of stairs to get to the apartment, but that’s also how you have spectacular views.

  Mattia couldn’t have been a better host for us! He welcomed us warmly, provided us with everything we could have asked for (fresh food and everything you need to cook... read more in the house) and was there for us for any question we had.
We spent a wonderful time in Brienno and I can only recommend everyone wanting to go there to stay at Mattia‘s place! You won’t find a better one. Thank you for everything!

  We arrived in Brienno for a 6 day stay & the welcome from Mattia was awesome. Mattia's mum & dad left us gorgeous treats as a welcome that's special.... read more Loved the calm gorgeous outlook over Lake Como. Clean and had everything needed for a special adventure. Keep in mind the steps to villa is worth it once you arrive....

  Die Ferienwohnung in Brienno hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Ausstattung ist topmodern und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Der Blick auf den Comersee vom Garten aus ist atemberaubend. Die Kommunikation mit... read more dem Gastgeber war unkompliziert und freundlich. Wir können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen!

  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!

  Mattia’s place is a true gem on Lake Como. The apartment is immaculate with views from just about every window overlooking the lake and town. Mattia’s attention to detail and... read more his family’s genuine care make you feel like your staying with family. We highly recommend you book this gorgeous house and enjoy a relaxing stay on the lake.

  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!

  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!

  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.
