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.

  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.

  Herzlichen Dank Mattia und Gianluigi, der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Die paar Treppenstufen haben Mama etwas Furcht eingeflösst, aber Eure wunderbare Gastfreundschaft und die tolle Wohnung mit Aussicht überall haben... read more das mehr als wett gemacht. Vielen Dank, vielleicht ein anderes Mal wieder, alles Gute! LG Chris, Naira, Shushan und Joy

  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!

  Diese Unterkunft ist ein wahres Juwel am Comer See: Eine super Lage, ein wunderschöner Garten mit Blick über den See, die Wohnung liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man... read more in einer Ferienwohnung benötigt. Mattia hat uns ein sehr herzliches Willkommen bereitet und war bei Fragen jederzeit erreichbar - einfach ein super Gastgeber!

  I can't say enough about my stay in Brienno. Mattia and his parents were so kind and welcoming, and the apartment was spacious and spotless, with charming decor and... read more top-notch amenities (beautiful dishware, brand new appliances, lovely bath products). On arrival, we were greeted with a generous, thoughtful, and unexpected assortment of fresh fruits, sweets, coffee and tea, and a refrigerator stocked with fresh milk, pasta, pesto, and salad so that we could dine in if we chose and so that our morning coffee needs were covered. The linens were lovely, the towels fluffy, and the outdoor patios were a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening wine. Brienno itself is absolutely charming, and the more we traveled around, the more we appreciated the incredible views from our apartment and the peace and quiet of the little town. Don't miss the local pizzeria or exploring the labyrinth. I plan to come back to Como with my family and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else!

  Mattia’s place in Brienno was truly special! Incredible views of the lake, a quiet location, and plenty of touches to make you feel right at home. The apartment is very... read more clean and homey, with modern touches that make it a pleasure to stay. Mattia was a great host. He met us at check in and left us with plenty of food, including homemade ragu and fresh pasta! When we make our way back to Lake Como, we will definitely try to stay here again.

  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 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!

  This home in the Lake Como area is truly amazing. There are so many special touches it’s hard to list them all. Among our favorites things... read more were the beautiful space itself (a lot of love went into remodeling and decorating this apartment), the homemade pesto and bolognese sauces given to us at check-in with fresh pastas for each sauce, fresh eggs, prosciutto and bread - we didn't need to get to the market for several days. The space itself is really clean, lovingly cared for and has beautiful views of the lake from all rooms and the garden area. And, it’s super quiet - you’ll sleep like a baby.

Thanks so much for everything Mattia. We've stayed in a number of Airbnb's around the world and you are an amazing host. Thank you made our first trip to Lake Como very special.

If this special apartment is available, do yourself a favor and book it!
