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!

  Top Haus. Top Aussicht. Alles da, um sich sofort zu Hause zu fühlen. Der Urlaub konnte sofort starten.

  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.

  Amazing apartment! Very close to main attractions in Cernobbio & Como. Super close to the ferry.
Great host who is very responsive!

  Mattia is an amazing host and his apartment is stunning. He is thoughtful and attentive to every detail. He started our visit by saving a parking spot for us before... read more welcoming us to his lovely apartment. There are lake views from every window. It’s bright, clean, and spacious and has a beautiful yard with a lake view. Brienno is a cute town that feels very authentic and non- touristy. There is only one restaurant and no market in town other than a van that comes in the mornings (but not on Sundays). That said, Mattia had quite a bit of food available in the apartment including homemade jams and pasta sauces. There was enough for our family to eat in for most meals. If you plan to visit other towns by ferry, it’s important to note that the ferry only stops in Brienno a few times a day. You can drive to another town nearby to catch it, but parking can be a challenge (both for the ferry and when you return to Brienno). We loved our stay at Mattie’s place and found it quite relaxing and beautiful.

  We had a wonderful stay at Mattias’ place! As a family with two kids and two lovely grandparents joining us, it was the perfect spot for a relaxed and memorable... read more trip.

Mattias’ parents gave us a warm welcome upon arrival (even though we had to adjust the arrival time during the day — they were super flexible!). They showed us everything: the flat, the surroundings, where to park — and even had a table reserved for us at a great nearby pizzeria.

The apartment was cozy and well-located, making it an ideal base to explore the beautiful Lago di Como. One tip: avoid long car journeys — instead, take the morning boat from Brienno for a scenic and peaceful ride with stunning lake views.

Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a calm and charming getaway!

  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!

  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.

  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.
Mattia also helped to make reservations at a restaurant for us and cancel them when we had a last minute change of plans. he was patient and polite throughout.
the house is clean and beautifully decorated. you will feel at home immediately. if you are considering booking this place, don’t hesitate! all our thanks and love to Mattia and his parents for the wonderful stay.
