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.

  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!

  The apartment was perfect, with beautiful scenery and views of Lake Como from every window and room. Quiet town with great lake access, walking distance. The home was stocked... read more with food and water. Our family had an amazing time. Thank you, Mattia, Pierluigi, and Marinella for your hospitality.

  Beautiful apartment with stunning view. Enjoyed the environment and the very nice welcome

  Mit viel Liebe zum Detail ausgestattete Ferienwohnung mit tollem Garten und Aussicht. Es fehlte an nichts, im Gegenteil, es war mehr als man erwarten kann (Proscecco, Früchte, Kuchen etc.). Sehr... read more nette Gastgeber und gute Einführung. Wer eine ruhige und aussergewöhnliche Ferienwohnung am Lago di Como sucht ist hier richtig. Bitte beachten, es führen ein paar steile Treppen zur Unterkunft. Vielen Dank nochmals.

  Mattia is a friendly host. Although I never met him personally, I did meet his father who was a real gentleman.

The description was very accurate - note... read more the stairs which are listed but are tricky!

The location was pleasant but for real flexibility with the ferry you need to go to another town.

The apartment has a lot of amenities. Such a lovely touch to have a little toy car our two year old could play with.

The views….incredible!

The pizza place….delicious!

Overall a traditional, quaint apartment with very helpful hosting.

  Wir haben uns die Woche in Mattia‘s Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir haben die Ruhe und Ursprünglichkeit des Ortes sehr genossen. Der Blick auf den See war fantastisch - vom... read more Garten aus und nahezu von fast allen Fenstern im Haus.

  This place was adorable, thoughtful, wonderful. Really it checked all the boxes. Mattia and his partner were so helpful as well. They even booked a dinner for us... read more one night. I highly suggest this place, ESPECIALLY if you have a car.

  Mattias’ place is truly a gem. It’s beautifully decorated and so comfortable. He and his family even supplied delicious homemade pasta sauces and a tart that was one of the... read more best I’ve had. He had great recommendations for local food but the place is also lovely to stay in and make a home cooked meal overlooking the lake.

  If you are looking for a peaceful place and beautiful surroundings then this appartment is for you! You will be stunned by the beauty of the lake and mountains. Waking... read more up to this scenery every day and being able to see it from every window is a treat that no one deserves and yet you are living it every moment of your day. Easy reachable by car, by the lake and the host is simply one of the best. We used Airbnb for years and Mattia is one of our favorite hosts up to date. Quick with responses, easy to communicate, and very helpful. He supplies you with various amounts of different types of food to end your evening of arrival or start the morning and then you can drive to the nearest supermarket Cetti 15 min by car on a straight road and it has everything. And did I mention the steps…you need to climb up to be in paradise. Thank you Mattia for sharing this place with the world of adventurous people!
