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.

  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!

  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!

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

  The apartment was so fabulous - so well designed with a gorgeous outdoor area and views of the lake from every room. We especially loved having dinner under the... read more stars and, waking up to such an incredible view? There are no words. Grazie mille!

  Mattia couldn’t have been a better host for us! He welcomed us warmly, provided us with everything we could have asked for (fresh food and everything you need to cook... read more in the house) and was there for us for any question we had.
We spent a wonderful time in Brienno and I can only recommend everyone wanting to go there to stay at Mattia‘s place! You won’t find a better one. Thank you for everything!

  Our stay at Mattia’s place was absolutely wonderful! Not only is the place beautiful and clean, Mattia treated us with immense kindness. He stocked the house with snacks and fresh... read more foods/fruits and even helped us get to a boat excursion reservation when we first checked in and didn’t know how to navigate there (he literally drove us himself!). He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. This home away from home was a quiet slice of heaven for us in Lake Como. I highly recommend booking your stay here!

  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!

  Mattia’s place was amazing. The decor was beautiful and the view spectacular! The beds were super comfortable and the towels plush! Everything was super clean. Mattia left... read more us with pasta, fruit, tart, coffee, bread etc so it was a lovely welcome. The town is charming. Yes the steps were tough but worth the effort. Parking was difficult but we did manage to find a space every night! Thank you for an amazing stay at your place!

  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.
