Chalet di Cher - Le Papere

Outdoor The "Chalet di Cher" is an old country hut renovated with great care. The chalet is inserted in the chestnut wood of Montemezzo located above Gera Lario and has an unforgettable view of Lake Como. The lawns below the house allow children to play safely. The beautiful view can be enjoyed from all three apartments of the chalet: le Papere, le Tartarughe, and le Campanelle. All terraces and porches are well equipped with wooden tables and chairs and relaxing chairs that invite you to spend the whole day looking at the view. The house has a soapstone barbeque to allow guests to experience their culinary art.

Interior of the houses It took the owner three years to complete the careful renovation of the Cher Rustici following the regulation of the area step by step. The result is surprising, the apartments are real gems full of charm. They are bright and with a fantastic view over the valley. The chalet was furnished with the advice of a Milanese architect to be practical and comfortable. There are many quality wood and stone works and the ceilings are with exposed beams. The combination of design and colors will make you feel at home. The house has a solar panel system for hot water, gas central heating and independent with ventilated wood stoves and fireplaces.

It is also particularly suitable for families with children. The owner lives in Monza, but he regularly uses the house for his holidays and consequently the chalet has been equipped with particular care and is carefully maintained. Parking The Montemezzo area is very safe and you can park in the garden in the back of the house (1 car per apartment) or park your car in the provincial road at the beginning of via Cher (the 130-meter path leading to the chalet has recently been repaired. to allow the transit of cars at walking pace). There is also a larger car park near the church of San Martino (about 200 meters from the beginning of via Cher). Via Cher ends at the Rustici di Cher which are almost a pedestrian area, which makes the place more peaceful. If you are good hikers you can also go to the village without using the car because there is an ancient path (about 2 km) that takes you to Gera Lario where you can find a supermarket, food shops, a bakery and restaurants. In Gera Lario there is also a large swimming pool with many sports facilities.
