  If you are looking at this place - book it right now!!! We could not say enough glowing things about this stay and this family. We stayed here for the... read more week prior to our wedding and words could not describe our gratitude for the way they went above and beyond to make this a magical experience for us!

Regarding the stay: The breakfast they include is marvelous and they went above and beyond to even provide a fresh breakfast on the morning of our wedding! The home itself is a bit hard to reach (a lot of steps uphill, so not for the faint of heart), but gosh is it worth it! The views are amazing in this essentially 360-view home; like, really - breathtaking to watch the sun rise and set. We found the bell-tower quite charming and was not disruptive at all with the windows closed. We were never short on any food, drink, amenity, or space. They think of literally everything - even down to items for children if you have any. The space is comfortable, the AC is great, and everywhere was very clean. The home itself is thoughtfully and beautifully decorated. Truly one of the best Airbnb experiences of anyone who came to our wedding, and one of our very favorites ever! Although the historic town of Brienno itself does not have too much to offer, it's located very ideally on the lake and not far from any major town or ferry port! Furthermore, Mattia's family provided us with great spots both near and far for food! This stay is perfection as far as one can go for Airbnbs on the lake!

Regarding the hosts: We could write a novel on our gratitude towards Mattia and his parents. To our complete surprise, Mattia's family decorated the entire home since they heard we were staying there for our wedding! Not only that, Marinella hand-painted and embroidered special items for us and Pierluigi literally hammered a nail into a beam in the home just so my wedding dress could hang fully!! They even left fresh food for an easy, authentic Italian dinner for our first night (which of course lasted much longer than that)! Their thoughtfulness even extended to securing us a coveted dinner reservation and arranging for a private taxi for us to get there. Unfortunately, during our time on the lake and our wedding, we encountered a taxi strike and there were no cars to rent in all of Como. And as if their kindness was not already overwhelming enough - Mattia's family literally rented their own car to us just so our stay wouldn't be ruined (And it quite literally would have been ruined without it)!

Although we can't guarantee you will experience this exact time with them that we did, we know that this is all a testament to their character. They are thoughtful, detail-oriented, attentive, and kind. This stay is beautiful, well-priced, and actually worth the inevitable hike up stairs you will encounter on the lake. We will forever remember this amazing stay and family!

  We loved our stay at Mattia’s. The town was fantastic and had everything we needed in walking distance - wine/snack bar right on the water, coffee bar, delicious pizza... read more restaurant, and a pop up vegetable stand. The apartment has an incredible view and was a prefect stop on our trip. Be aware there are a lot of stairs to get to the apartment, but that’s also how you have spectacular views.

  This home is so much more charming than expected. The surrounding area adds to the charm with the church bells, a lido that is walkable along with a cafe and... read more a fresh meat/cheese truck parked within walking distance. This is an incredible stay.

  Wonderful location on Lake Como. Brienno isn’t a tourist hub so the town and neighborhood is quiet and calm. A great place to call home while exploring the lake. The... read more host was great. He met us when we arrived and checked us out. He even helped with some of the baby’s stuff. There was a wonderful spread of food when we arrived and we easily had enough for dinner that night and breakfast in the morning. The ferry to Bellagio and Verenna is thirty minutes away in one direction and Como is thirty minutes in the other. The town has an amazing pizzeria called Bri’en Pizza e Cafe and there is a small truck that comes by every morning with fresh goods. Keep in mind that there are quite a few steps to get to the apartment but the journey is worth it.

  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 🙏🏻
