Accoglienza impeccabile, sistemazione unica con vista sul lago

  If you are looking at this place - book it right now!!! We could not say enough glowing things about this stay and this family. We stayed here for the... read more week prior to our wedding and words could not describe our gratitude for the way they went above and beyond to make this a magical experience for us!

Regarding the stay: The breakfast they include is marvelous and they went above and beyond to even provide a fresh breakfast on the morning of our wedding! The home itself is a bit hard to reach (a lot of steps uphill, so not for the faint of heart), but gosh is it worth it! The views are amazing in this essentially 360-view home; like, really - breathtaking to watch the sun rise and set. We found the bell-tower quite charming and was not disruptive at all with the windows closed. We were never short on any food, drink, amenity, or space. They think of literally everything - even down to items for children if you have any. The space is comfortable, the AC is great, and everywhere was very clean. The home itself is thoughtfully and beautifully decorated. Truly one of the best Airbnb experiences of anyone who came to our wedding, and one of our very favorites ever! Although the historic town of Brienno itself does not have too much to offer, it's located very ideally on the lake and not far from any major town or ferry port! Furthermore, Mattia's family provided us with great spots both near and far for food! This stay is perfection as far as one can go for Airbnbs on the lake!

Regarding the hosts: We could write a novel on our gratitude towards Mattia and his parents. To our complete surprise, Mattia's family decorated the entire home since they heard we were staying there for our wedding! Not only that, Marinella hand-painted and embroidered special items for us and Pierluigi literally hammered a nail into a beam in the home just so my wedding dress could hang fully!! They even left fresh food for an easy, authentic Italian dinner for our first night (which of course lasted much longer than that)! Their thoughtfulness even extended to securing us a coveted dinner reservation and arranging for a private taxi for us to get there. Unfortunately, during our time on the lake and our wedding, we encountered a taxi strike and there were no cars to rent in all of Como. And as if their kindness was not already overwhelming enough - Mattia's family literally rented their own car to us just so our stay wouldn't be ruined (And it quite literally would have been ruined without it)!

Although we can't guarantee you will experience this exact time with them that we did, we know that this is all a testament to their character. They are thoughtful, detail-oriented, attentive, and kind. This stay is beautiful, well-priced, and actually worth the inevitable hike up stairs you will encounter on the lake. We will forever remember this amazing stay and family!

  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.

  Everything was exceptional

  We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful house! Quiet, spacious, elegant and extremely well-supplied with everything - even fresh groceries to start off our stay! The private garden overlooking the... read more lake was perfect for al fresco dining. Mattia was a very friendly host and extremely helpful during check-in, even helping us carry up our luggage!

  Mattia’s place was amazing. The decor was beautiful and the view spectacular! The beds were super comfortable and the towels plush! Everything was super clean. Mattia left... read more us with pasta, fruit, tart, coffee, bread etc so it was a lovely welcome. The town is charming. Yes the steps were tough but worth the effort. Parking was difficult but we did manage to find a space every night! Thank you for an amazing stay at your place!

  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!

  Very beautiful place with a stunning view of Lake Como. Clean apartment, friendly owner. When checking in, we found various treats from the owner. There are practically no entertainment and... read more restaurants within walking distance, only one pizzeria nearby. The nearest supermarket is 15 minutes away by car. The place is good if you travel by private car. With thanks to Mattia!☀️😊

  We truly had a perfect stay. The location couldn’t be better, the view is insanely great, and we just felt right at home. Mattia went out of his way to... read more make us feel welcome at the place and in the town. Looking forward to returning some day, I hope!

  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.
