Le Tartarughe

History
The "Chalet di Cher' is an ancient stone stable renovated with great care.
The Chalet is inserted in the chestnut wood of Cher located above Gera Lario and has an unforgettable view of Lake Como.
To the owner It took three years to complete, with the advice of a Milanese architect, the careful renovation of the Chalet di Cher following the regulation of the area step by step.

Eco building
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). The house has very insulating walls, a solar panel system for hot water, gas central heating with flue gas condensing boiler and independent with wood-burning stoves and fireplaces with forced ventilation.

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 paradise is not only for hikers or mountain bikers, but also for those who want a peaceful escape and for those who love to discover the culture of the Alto Lario and its well-known gastronomic attractions. It is also particularly suitable for families with children. The owner lives in Monza, but regularly uses the house 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: le Papere, le Tartarughe and le 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.
