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!

  Fantastic experience all around. Mattia set the bar by which all other hosts will be measured. The home was comfortable, clean, and wonderfully provisioned for our stay. The groceries that... read more Mattia provided were an absolute life-saver and meant the world to us. Brienno is a quiet and pretty village with great old passages to explore near the shore (underneath and around the old buildings that line Via Regina road)… and the views from the property are amazing.

Parking can be a bit tricky in anything larger than an estate car (station wagon), but Mattia helped us with suggestions and instructions about the house’s allocated spot. The fact that Mattia met us and helped with luggage and told us everything we needed to know about the location was absolutely above and beyond.

We would highly recommend this stay to anyone — not just for the great home but also for the wonderful hospitality.

  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.

  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!

  Mattia and his family have a wonderful home and did everything in their power to make our stay special. My family and I can’t thank them enough. The photos of... read more the property do not do it justice, the views of the lake are breathtaking. The entire flat was thoroughly cleaned when we arrived, with all amenities provided plus more. We have stayed in the area in various airBnBs and this was by far the best, as well providing excellent value for the quality of the home. Highly recommended for a quiet getaway and within reach of all key areas of Lake Como.

  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.

  Wir waren mit Familie, Hund und Enkelin 10 Tage in der schönen Wohnung von Mattia.
Gut ausgestatte Wohnung inklusive der Küche. Erste Lebensmittel bereits vorhanden und wir brauchten nicht... read more gleich einzukaufen. Vielen Dank dafür!
Mattia hat uns beim Gepäck geholfen um es die Treppenstufen hoch zu tragen.
Trotz des leider schlechten Wetters haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und beabsichtigen wieder zu kommen!
Beste Grüße Horst

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

  we visited Dipinto Sul Lago, hosted by Mattia ..... from 22 - 25 July 2024.
This is a traditional modern Italian appartment, that is very nice and clean. Everything worked... read more seemlessly from start to end. All pre-information was flawless, and was done orally by Mattia's father Pierluigi, who also helped us to carry up our luggage & kept a parking space for 1 of our cars (we were 2 families).
The family had bought us some food and put in the refrigerator + we got sparkling wine & Pierluigis mother had baked us a cake and left so many other nice things.
The house is equipted with all amenities, and even cold water tap in the kitchen, even with sparkling water if you want.
The only downside we found was the stairs leading to the apartment - it is 81 steps, so if you're not in good condition, this is not for you - we actually enjoyed the excercise 🙂

  Very cute apartment 🙂 Communication was very easy, so it was a very nice stay in all aspects!
