Un coin de paradis au bord du lac de Como ! Un accueil 5 étoiles par Mattia avec beaucoup d’attentions et le souci du détail. On se sent comme dans... read more une maison de famille. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir.

  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!

  Luxurious - everything we needed and more. The views were breathtaking. Would consider returning for our honeymoon.

  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.

  Wow! Anyone considering managing or owning an Airbnb should stay here. In fact Airbnb should offer clinics using this property and this host family to demonstrate how well it can... read more (and should) be done. They have thought of literally EVERYTHING that it takes to make a stay exceptional. We didn’t want to leave!

While we didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Mattia, his father Pierluigi was easily one of the nicest & most helpful hosts I’ve ever met. To say we will be back isn’t just talk…While Brienno is a small & quiet village, we can be sure there’s a place (this place) to call home next year while on Como.

  We had a wonderful stay here with my mom. The location was magical, the apartment was beautiful, and our hosts were extra helpful! We would definitely come back!

  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!

  Herzlichen Dank Mattia und Gianluigi, der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Die paar Treppenstufen haben Mama etwas Furcht eingeflösst, aber Eure wunderbare Gastfreundschaft und die tolle Wohnung mit Aussicht überall haben... read more das mehr als wett gemacht. Vielen Dank, vielleicht ein anderes Mal wieder, alles Gute! LG Chris, Naira, Shushan und Joy

  A fantastic property in a beautiful, quiet section of Lake Como! Mattia was a great host who accommodated my changing travel plans. His property is on the top... read more floor so it offers stunning views of the surrounding area, and is exactly as depicted on the website. It does take a good bit of stairs to get up there, so be cautious if you have a lot of bags or are traveling with some one with limited mobility. Parking can be a little bit of a challenge depending on the day, but if you don't mind walking 5 minutes there is something always available. It's about a 30 minute drive to Como, and has multiple ferry stops within 10 minutes, so exploring Lake Como is fairly convenient as well. All in all a beautiful property that I would most certainly go back to!

  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.
