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!

  We had an absolutely magical stay with friends Mattia and Mariella's Como apartment. It was comfortable, very well equipped, clean and in a beautiful location. We will be daydreaming of... read more the long evenings spent drinking wine and relaxing on the terrace overlooking the lake for years after our holiday is over.

Mattia went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was as comfortable as possible and to make check-in and check-out seamless. We particularly appreciated the quick communication and the extras left in the apartment for us to enjoy. Parking is available on the street in Brienno, and while it is a small commune, there are plenty of parks available and there was only one instance on our three day stay that we had to park about 5-10min walk away (not a big deal - it was a good excuse to walk and admire the town).

If you're staying in the apartment, we wholeheartedly recommend the local pizza restaurant for food and drinks on the rooftop and the cafe at the further end of town where you can rent out day beds and enjoy cocktails on the lake or enjoy a swim.

  Nous avons tout simplement adoré notre séjour chez Mattia! Le logement est impeccablement tenu, d’une propreté irréprochable. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié toutes les attentions et les délicieuses friandises!!

Et que dire des vues magnifiques qui s’ouvrent sur le lac de la fenêtre des chambres! Si vous hésitez encore, n’attendez plus une seule seconde!! Vous ne regretterez pas!

  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.

  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.

  Accoglienza impeccabile, sistemazione unica con vista sul lago
