Alles liep perfect. De host was binnen de drie minuten aan de accomodatie en hielp ons met de koffers. Hij gaf ons ook allerlei tips die nuttig waren om ons... read more verblijf compleet te maken. De accommodatie was heel erg goed uitgerust met oog voor detail . Zo was er een grohe kraan met bruis en plat water, een buitendouche met nieuwe lig- en zitstoelen, verse eitjes, fruit, koekjes, … zelfs een taart. We voelden ons meteen thuis in deze met trappen bereikbare accommodatie met een prachtig uitzicht.

  We loved our stay in Brienno at Mattia’s home. Pierluigi welcomed us at our car, helped us with our luggage up the stairs and filled us with wonderful information about... read more his childhood home and the surrounding area. The home is beautifully decorated and has the most magnificent views from the terrace and each room of the home. We enjoyed exploring the tunnels in Brienno and other towns around the lake. We had the best pizza at Bri’en which was recommended to us. We had a drink one night and we were able to wave to our girls on the terrace at the house ; ). Lovely place to stay. We felt very safe and very welcome. Thank you!

  This home was perfect for us after spending the 2 1/2 weeks before, rushing around through over-crowded Italian towns. The home was quiet, peaceful, comfortable and relaxing with absolutely stunning... read more views of Lago di Como. Brienno is a quiet & beautiful little town, which has a wonderful pizzeria and a bar open when it’s off season.
Mattia was passionate about his family’s home and his paese. He provides us with a fresh cheeses, meats, eggs, pasta and fruits from local markets, so that we didn’t arrive empty handed. Little things like that is what makes this home so memorable. Ci vediamo presto, 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!

  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.

  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!

  Wonderful, elegant, unique place with a host that truly went the extra mile for us: Quick communication, common sense guidance and enough food for a couple of snacks/meals.
The... read more view of the lake out the windows is (Website hidden by Airbnb) r! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special experience at Lake Como. Thank you Mattia!

  everything about Mattia’s place was a dream!
from the start, Mattia was super responsive and patient. we arrived an hour later than our intended check-in due to an accidental detour,... read more and Mattia told us to take our time. his father was there to meet us at check in and even helped us with our bags up the stairs.
