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.

  Bella vista!
Attentive + Friendly Mattia was waiting for us to arrive and the kitchen was stocked with fresh goodies for dinner + breakfast.

Grazie mille:-)

  Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in dieser Unterkunft am Comer See! Die Lage ist einfach traumhaft, mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht auf den See und die umliegenden Berge. Die Umgebung lädt... read more zu entspannten Spaziergängen und Erkundungen ein – der perfekte Ort, um zur Ruhe zu kommen.

Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die außergewöhnliche Freundlichkeit des Gastgebers. Von der Begrüßung bis zur Abreise wurden wir herzlich umsorgt und mit tollen Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants versorgt. Man spürt, dass hier mit viel Liebe und Hingabe gearbeitet wird.

Die Unterkunft selbst war makellos sauber, gemütlich und bestens ausgestattet. Wir kommen definitiv wieder und können diesen Ort jedem wärmstens empfehlen!

  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!!

  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 was an extremely gracious host and there were so many thoughtful touches (fresh homemade pasta and bolognese, fruit and local foods presented upon arrival and fresh flowers in every... read more room). The views from every room were spectacular! Beds and furniture were extremely comfortable and beautifully curated in each room. The town is quaint and off the main tourist track.

Mattia was very responsive to all of our questions and messages.

Two very small things I would clarify for anyone booking this space.

1. There were 75-85 cobblestone steps to get to the apartment, a great workout, but could be difficult to access for some guests. (But everywhere on Lake Como has tons of steps)
2. While parking is free, it is on street public parking, so you are not guaranteed nearby parking, especially when the restaurant next door is open.

Overall, I would recommend this space to anyone, it was a perfect space to enjoy the views and culture!

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

  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!

  Perfect stay, really great location and communication

  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
