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!

  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.

  On s’est sentie comme à la maison.

  This was an incredible stay! The location is stunning, views of the lake from every room and a nice quiet corner of Lake Como. The hosts are so kind and... read more thoughtful - leaving some delicious food (wine, fruits, pasta, cheese, bread) for us on arrival. I have never had that kind of generosity before from a n Airbnb host. The space is spotless, comfortable, well equipped and so nicely decorated. Having a washing machine was a huge plus for us as this came half way through a 2-week trip. Cannot say enough wonderful things. Highly recommend!!

  Die Eltern von Mattia haben uns sehr herzlich willkommen geheissen. Dass sie für uns diverseste Lebensmittel bereit gestellt haben, um uns die Ankunft zu erleichtern, hat uns extrem gefreut!

  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.

  We spent an incredible week in Mattia’s apartment. The property is stylish, but comfortable with everything you might need for a short or long stay.
The host went out of... read more their way to enhance our stay. The welcome hamper is far beyond anything I’ve had before at an Airbnb, with delicious local produce.
My wife got an infected insect bite, and the next morning Mattia’s parents arrived with repellent, cream for the bite….and a box of pastries!!
The views from all the windows and the relaxing garden are spectacular.
Brienno itself is small with no shop, but the pizza restaurant, small bar and large terrace bar are all excellent and authentic.
It’s a shame the Brienno ferry stop is no longer running, but the buses are semi-regular if you don’t have a car.
We have already recommended this place to friends and would definitely use again if returning to beautiful Como

  Lieu idéal pour rayonner autour du lac. Le logement est très cosy, extrêmement bien équipé et tout à fait confirme à sa description. La vie sur le lac de la... read more chambre est superbe ainsi que du petit jardin. Nos hôtes nous avaient même laissé des cadeaux d’accueil et de quoi réaliser un repas. Nous avons avions été très touchés par leur prévenance. Sans oublier une place pour se garer qui fut tres appréciable.

  We arrived in Brienno for a 6 day stay & the welcome from Mattia was awesome. Mattia's mum & dad left us gorgeous treats as a welcome that's special.... read more Loved the calm gorgeous outlook over Lake Como. Clean and had everything needed for a special adventure. Keep in mind the steps to villa is worth it once you arrive....

  Mattia is a friendly host. Although I never met him personally, I did meet his father who was a real gentleman.

The description was very accurate - note... read more the stairs which are listed but are tricky!

The location was pleasant but for real flexibility with the ferry you need to go to another town.

The apartment has a lot of amenities. Such a lovely touch to have a little toy car our two year old could play with.

The views….incredible!

The pizza place….delicious!

Overall a traditional, quaint apartment with very helpful hosting.
