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.

  We found Mattia's home and neighborhood to be the relaxing getaway we hoped for at Lake Como. We were greeted by Mattia's kind parents who helped us with luggage... read more up the stairs, gave a tour of their charming home, and welcomed us with a gift of wonderful fresh fruit, eggs and delightful local Italian treats that we snacked on during our stay. While the stairs are a climb, we enjoyed the strength it built in our legs and the view is 1000% worth it! The garden is just beautiful and fragrant. We spent our evenings on the patio playing family games, drinking vino rosso and enjoying the gorgeous lake views. Brienno is close enough to the larger towns to get to quickly for day trips, but a far enough from the summer tourists hustle and bustle. We preferred this location. Grazie Mille!

  Fantastic apartment with stunning views and delightful furnishings and decor. We loved the little garden which gave our dog space to run. The steps up to the apartment could be... read more challenging for some but we enjoyed the daily exercise they required. The town of Brienno is interesting, quiet and quaint and well connected. It is well situated allowing easy exploration of what Lake Como has to offer. Nearby Argegno has a nice selection of restaurants and great boat connections as well as boat hire.

Mattia and his Mum & Dad are fantastic hosts doing everything they can to make life easy. The welcome hamper was fabulous and the kitchen was well stocked with condiments, oils, etc, etc.

We hope to return!!

  We had a wonderful stay here with my mom. The location was magical, the apartment was beautiful, and our hosts were extra helpful! We would definitely come back!

  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!

  Un coin de paradis au bord du lac de Como ! Un accueil 5 étoiles par Mattia avec beaucoup d’attentions et le souci du détail. On se sent comme dans... read more une maison de famille. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir.

  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.

  Our stay was amazing from start to finish! Mattia was so responsive on text that check in was so smooth and easy. We arrived and were shown the garage for... read more parking and then were taken on a tour of the apartment. It was as beautiful as it looks in the pictures, but what really made this a stand out stay was how accommodating and generous Mattia and his family had been. They had left us milk, a few things to put a lovely lunch together, breads, a bottle of wine, things for breakfast, and a home made tart! They are the best air bnb hosts I have ever had - friendly, informative and accommodating. Brienno itself was a beautiful and authentic small town, with loads of swimming places, an amazing pizza restaurant and a fab terraced bar by the water. Close enough to the big towns to be convenient but small enough to be away from crowds and really feel immersed in the Italian experience. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

  Amazing experience staying at this one of a kind property! The views were out of this world (from every window!) and the apartment has been thoughtfully renovated- original features mixed... read more with modern amenities. Mattia and his parents are very thoughtful and kind, providing guests with everything they could possibly need. The village is quiet, which was just what we were looking for with our 5 month old baby. The garden terrace is beautiful and private with stunning views of the lake. It was great to come home after visiting the busy towns like Bellagio to relax in the garden watching the lake. Private parking was available and there is a famous pizzeria a 1 minute stroll away. If you are looking for a peaceful and private stay with incredible views then is the place to book!

  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.
