Le Papere apartment in Chalet di Cher

History
The "Chalet di Cher' is an ancient stone stable renovated with great care with the support of an architect from Milan.
The Chalet is inserted in the chestnut wood of Cher located above Gera Lario and has an unforgettable view of Lake Como.

Chalet di Cher was built with great attention to environmental sustainability and has been certified by Cestec as buildings in energy consumption class B (between 31-50 Kwh/m2 per year).

Interior of houses
The result of the renovation is surprising, the apartments are real gems full of charm. They are bright and with a fantastic view over the valley. The Chalet has been furnished to be practical and comfortable. There is a lot of wood and stonework and the ceilings are beamed. The design and the colors will make you feel at home. This small private is prefect for those who want a peaceful escape. It is also particularly suitable for families with children. The owner lives in Monza, but regularly uses the apartements for his holidays and consequently the Chalet has been equipped with particular care and is carefully maintained.

House exteriors
The lawns under the house allow children to play safely. The beautiful view of the lake and the mountains can be enjoyed from all three apartments of the Chalet: Papere, Tartarughe and Campanelle.
All terraces and porches are well equipped with wooden tables and chairs and lounging chairs inviting you to spend the whole day gazing at the view.
The house has a stone barbecue area for guests to experience their culinary art. In the forest of Cher, just 300 meters from the house, there is the Sorico stream, an uncontaminated stream with natural pools where you can relax and cool off.

Parking reserved for customers.
The Montemezzo area is very safe. You can park in the garden behind the house (1 car per apartment) or park your car in the parking lot on the provincial road at the beginning of via Cher.
Via Cher is the path of about 93 meters that leads to the Chalet. There is also a larger car park near the church of San Martino (about 200 meters from the start of via Cher). Via Cher ends at the characteristic Cher's Chalet which makes the place absolutely peaceful.

Shops and more in the area
Shops are in Gera Lario.
If you are a good hiker 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, grocery stores, a bakery and restaurants. In Gera Lario there is also a large swimming pool with many sports equipment and a small port.

In the apartment there are:
. A bedroom nr. 1 with double bed
- A bedroom nr. 2 with a bunk bed
- Living room: the room has a table for 6 people. The kitchen area is open to the living room and there is a double sofa bed.
- A big mezzanine with a sofa
- A small mezzanine with single bed
- A bathroom
- External veranda with table for 6 people

Beautiful house and amazing view - would recommend!
Lovely welcome package - helpful guide from the owner and beautiful views. Comfortable sleeping for seven guests and good cooking appliances and cutlery. Lots to do in area and close to boat hire and water sports hire places. Good restaurants nearby in Sorico. The natural spring is quite challenging to get to but a good adventure. No complaints - would recommend!

Great place!
Recommend it to anyone. We had Le Pepere which has 2 bedrooms (one with a double and one with double, overhead single and another single bed, a mezzanine single bed and a bed in the living room. It was great foe the nights we spent there with fantastic views. Parking is 'interesting' and it's relatively difficult to find. Can walk to the nearest restaurant (25 mins) or to the town (35-40 mins). Double it on the way back up the steep hill. The river with its waterfalls and pools is great fun, look out for local snakes (may be venomous) and scorpions (harmless). Way to it from the house is not easy

beautiful views, clean and amazing place. Local dipping in the mountain river superb. Owner and cleaner so very helpful and kind when there was an initial problem (not their fault) and went above and beyond to solve it and make amends. Really impressive and will return one day. Make sure you take a dip in the lower falls 'jacuzzi'.

fantastic view but expensive stay.
We had a good vacation, but we were disappointed with the stay. check-in process was difficult and had to obtain the keys with a code and all meter readings had to be passed on. We did not know beforehand which house we would get. the route to the house is also very dangerous, especially the last part is very steep and you can easily shoot next to the road with a car, my car is even damaged at the bottom. The beds were also of moderate quality when moving the bed creaked every time. All this is price-quality not in proportion.

Peace in nature with a spectacular view
For our first stay on Lake Como, we were so happy to end up in Paolo's lovely property on the northern side of the lake. Prior to our visit, we knew very little about the layout of the towns and geography. Now that we do, we felt the northern, quiet location, elevated above the lakefront was perfect for rest and relaxation with small children, while still being convenient and accessible to all the amenities of the area. The location of the house is quite far (1-2 hours by car) from the hustle, bustle and glamour of the southern villages near Como, which suited us perfectly. If your interests align more with sports and the outdoors, while still being convenient to great restaurants and some of the less well-known and glamorous sights of the Lake region, I highly recommend Paolo's property. We were delighted to find ourselves basically in the forest with a hiking trail and stream just behind the house. The apartment La Papere, which is one of three on the property, was compact but with plenty of room for our family, well equipped and comfortable. The views are stunning from the several large windows and ample terrace looking over the northern end of the lake and river mouths towards Valchiavenna and eventually Switzerland. Paolo was an attentive and responsive host, who provides excellent recommendations and detailed information about all the activities and sights that Lake Como has to offer. In short, we had everything we needed for an excellent first visit and we cannot wait to return and explore the area more.

Memorable stay in beautiful Lake Como
We could not have hoped for a more fantastic stay than we enjoyed at Papere, overlooking Lake Como. The apartment was lovely and the views from the balcony were spectacular. Above all, Paolo was hugely helpful in providing us with useful local information that made our stay even more memorable. Best of all was the walk to the waterfalls and walking in river. We shall definitely be returning here in the future.

Lovely location lovely apartment and quiet
Overall we really enjoyed our stay, from waking up to the view to the quiet nights. Our only negative was we thought the beds were uncomfortable. Poalo was very nice and has a wealth of knowledge about the area and very helpful. While we were there we told him that tv didn't work and he offered to buy a new one. Would stay again and recommend it

Tolle Lage, aber eine Auffahrt auf die Fahrer und Auto vorbereitet sein müssen!
Sehr schön gelegenes Haus mit toll gepflegter Gartenanlage! Ein unglaublicher Ausblick ins Tal! Allerdings muss man dafür mit seinem Auto auch ziemlich hoch auf den Berg fahren und vor allem die steile Anfahrt zum Haus sind ein echte Herausforderung für Fahrer und Kupplung. Aufgrund der Zimmer Aufteilung definitiv nicht mit 8 Personen zu bewohnen!

Wunderschöne Lage
Die Lage ist wunderschön und abgelegen. Jedoch, die Auffahrt und Parksituation ist eine Katastrophe. Das Objekt hat auch schon bessere Tage gesehen, es sind viele Kleinigkeiten die einer Reparatur bedarf. Der Hygienische Zustand war mehr schlecht als recht. Die Bettenaufteilung glich einer Jugendherberge und die Betten waren zudem noch das Zuhause von Bettwanzen. Der Angegebene Pool war nur durch einen erfahren Bergsteigerausflug auffindbar. Wer das abgeschottete und ruhige mag, wird es lieben. Man muss jedoch alles mit dem Auto erledigen, da die nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit zu Fuß über eine Stunde weg ist. Die Umgebung und Menschen sind einfach wunderbar, der Vermieter an sich ist auch ok, jedoch muss dringend an der Parksituation etwas gemacht werden. Die Wohnung Papere ist nicht für mehr als 4 Personen geeignet. Preis völlig ok für die 14 Tage, jedoch werden wir hier keine Ferienwohnung mehr anmieten.
