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!

  We loved our stay! The host was very thoughtful and considerate. We would recommend this stay to anyone.

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!

  The apartment was amazing. After realizing that the address MUST include the town (there are multiple of their address number/street in different towns around the lake), we were kindly greeted... read more by Mattias mom and dad. The garage parking was excellent. The steps to the apartment are a bit brutal but manageable with handrails all the way up. The view is so so so worth it. Mattias family is clearly proud of the apartment and they should be. They were probably the most hospitable airbnb hosts I’ve ever had in my 8+ years of airbnbing. It’s perfect for a family. They had a high chair for my daughter and food, snacks, everything we needed. The water is drinkable, showers great, robes were so nice, and plenty of towels and extra blankets! We felt right at home and it made the stay so much better. The welcome book was super helpful in picking activities and restaurants. Thank you again!

  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!

  Es war einfach ein absoluter Traum und wir wurden so herzlich empfangen! Ich hatte schon viele schöne Wohnungen gesehen aber diese von Mattia überragt alle bei weitem! Danke für alles... read more 🙏🏻

  Mattia’s home is simply amazing! He left no stone unturned when it came to comfort and hospitality. The views are stunning and the home feels like an Italian paradise. There... read more are steep stairs but, even with twin toddlers, we managed just fine. Mattia helped us with our bags when we arrived, he had a breakfast spread waiting for us to indulge in, essentials were also included in the fridge and pantry and two portacots and high chairs were all set up. We have stayed in many airbnbs and hotels over the years and Mattia’s home is by far the standout. We hope to come back one day, not only because of the great apartment, but Mattias attention to detail made everything so easy for us.

  Mattia and his family are the ultimate hosts! They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, happy and even spoiled. The apartment is absolutely beautiful and the location... read more is what dreams are made of. Yes, you need to be of good health to climb stairs but it’s worth every single step and more!

  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.
