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!

  Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Mattias Ferienwohnung. Vielen Dank dafür!!

Die Wohnung hat eine gute Größe für uns vier Erwachsene, ein Kleinkind und einen Hund. Die beiden Badezimmer... read more waren sehr praktisch. Es gibt eine Galerie, die für kleine Kinder nicht sicher ist, aber das war kein Problem, denn unser Kind blieb einfach unten oder amüsierte sich in dem schönen kleinen Garten.

Für unseren Hund war die Wohnung auch perfekt, denn es gab den Garten und vor allem war die Wohnung sehr ruhig - die Fenser sind sehr geräuschundurchlässig - die Wände dick, sodass unser Hund auch nie gebellt hat.

Die Betten sind gut und es gibt eine umfangreiche Ausstattung, sodass es uns an nichts gefehlt hat. Zu Begrüßung gab es eine Menge Essen, was unsere Ankunft nach einer längeren Anreise überaus angenehm und entspannt gemacht hat.

Die Umgebung ist toll. Man kann ab der Wohnung schöne Spaziergänge machen oder zu Ausflügen aufbrechen. Wunderbar war der Aufenthalt udn wir kommen gern wieder!

  Nous avons tout simplement adoré notre séjour chez Mattia! Le logement est impeccablement tenu, d’une propreté irréprochable. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié toutes les attentions et les délicieuses friandises!! Brienno est... read more un village au charme authentique, un peu en dehors des sentiers battus ou du tourisme de masse. Il fait bon y flâner! Et que dire des vues magnifiques qui s’ouvrent sur le lac de la fenêtre des chambres! Si vous hésitez encore, n’attendez plus une seule seconde!! Vous ne regretterez pas!

  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.

  Great place and great host.

  We can't say enough good things about Mattia and his beautiful home. Our flight was delayed so we got to his home exhausted and late. He greeted us with an... read more umbrella and warm smile, helped us carry our luggage, and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay--including food! We felt right at home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Mattia!

  This place is such a gem! Super cozy and very clean. The host went above and beyond to make our visit extra special! The view is amazing! It’s decorated so... read more beautifully! We can’t wait to visit again!

  The apartment was very clean and spacious. The location was perfect and beautiful views of the lake from the main rooms and bedrooms.
Very gracious host! ... read more All amenities were provided along with a great welcome food and snack package.
Easy communication with the host family and they even made reservations to the local pizza place for us per our request.

  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!!
