La Campanelle

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.

Parking reserved for customers.
The Montemezzo area is very safe and 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 130 meters that leads to the Chalet and has recently been arranged to allow the transit of cars at a walking pace. 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
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;
• external veranda with table for 6 people
• 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. Fireplace with ventilation.
• Mezzanine/bedroom with double bed
• A studio (with a bunk bed - 2 beds)
• Bathroom: has a large bathtub

Lovely Stay in a Rural Quiet Area off Lake Como
We had a wonderful experience staying at the Campanella. It was lovely, and Paolo was a wonderful host who made us feel very welcome with extra information about the region and the home. We would happily stay again!

Overall great experience!
We really enjoyed the uniqueness of the apartment as well as the location. We had our two daughters with us (19 and 25), the bedrooms were a little tight, but we understood that would be the case when we booked. The check-in process was a bit tedious (first time I've had to send pictures of the water and electric meter before and after a stay). The architecture and decor of the apartment was well thought out and probably the highlight for us. The only negative part of our stay was the bugs (mosquitos mainly), we stayed in late June, so maybe it was just the time of year. There were no screens on the windows (understand this is common in Europe), but because of that we could not open the windows and the apartment was hot (one more fan would be nice). The only other minor complaint was the internet was not working. The owner was very prompt in reply, giving us things to try and even sending someone there to look at it. But it never worked for us during our 3 days there. I don't fault the owner for this, these things happen. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

5 day trip at lake Como
Cozy property with very quiet surroundings. Driving to lake Como takes about 10 minutes and there are some nice villages close by. Hiring a boat on lake Como was great fun, even without a license you can get a surprisingly powerful boat and take a dip in the middle of the lake. If you want to park your car next to the house you need reasonable driving skills and preferably a 4x4 vehicle all though I noticed that our neighbours seem to have managed with a normal car as well. Truly enjoyed our time here with the family!

Breathtaking views and nice, cozy place - highly recommend!
My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and had an amazing time! Paolo is a great host! Very welcoming and very responsive whenever we needed assistance. We stayed in the Campanelle and it was so nice and cozy. The inside and outside of the house is very cute and has everything you need, you might just a quick run to the grocery store if you plan on cooking. It was the perfect size and we enjoyed breakfast every morning in our outside patio with a nice view. The wifi wasn't always the strongest from our side of the property, but the cell reception is very good and we could use our data. With where it is located, it is definitely necessary to have a vehicle that drives well uphill. The views are incredible from every angle, but especially from the left side of the property. There's a grocery store and laundromat about a 20 minute drive away and there's a local market at the bottom of the mountain on Sunday mornings. Also at the bottom of the mountain, there is great access to the lake and a place where you can rent kayaks, windsurfing equipment and bikes for reasonable prices - and they speak English. All in all, we highly recommend this property!

Esperienza eccellente!
Lo chalet è organizzatissimo e affascinante: un vero rifugio tra i castagni. Pur non essendo lontano dal lago e da Gera Lario, dà l’impressione di essere isolato e immerso nella natura. Abbiamo trascorso una breve vacanza molto rilassante, in compagnia dei nostri gatti. Torneremo sicuramente.

Logement et propriétaire à FUIR ABSOLUMENT
Le pire logement, en 23 ans de locations saisonnières! Personne pour nous accueillir. Des instructions d'arrivée laissées quelques jours avant le jour J, uniquement en italien : une fois traduites, instructions extrêmement confuses (10 mn pour trouver les clefs de la maison). Maison isolée, en haut d'une côte extrêmement pentue. Plusieurs désagréments et matériels hors d'état de fonctionnement : - la porte d'entrée ne fermait pas à clef; - une forte odeur de renfermé dans la pièce principale (cuisine + salon), renforcée dans les placards des meubles de la cuisine; - le wi-fi et la télévision hors-service; - le réfrigérateur et le four hors-service. Le propriétaire du gîte envoie une personne du village pour constater les difficultés signalées. Cette dame confirme que les appareils ne fonctionnent pas. Le propriétaire nous fait savoir, le lendemain, qu'il a acheté un nouveau réfrigérateur et qu'il l'a placé à l'extérieur du gîte. Il nous demande de sortir l'ancien appareil et d'installer le nouveau (??). Le soir même, il nous envoie un nouveau message sur Whatsapp, cette fois, très agressif, accusateur, presque menaçant, contestant la légitimité de nos constats. Après notre départ, il se sert de notre carte bancaire pour nous facturer 500 euros de frais supplémentaires (caution) car, selon lui, nous lui avons fait acheter un réfrigérateur de façon injustifiée! Propriétaire menteur et voleur. Abritel peu réactif et compétent pour répondre de façon efficace à ces situations.

Wunderschöner außergewöhnlicher Ort
Schlimme, nervenaufreibende Zufahrt zum Haus, mehr Skorpion-Kontakt als erwartet, tägliche Besuche vom Wildschwein aber ein Ausblick und eine Ruhe, wie aus dem Bilderbuch. Perfekte Mischung zwischen Berg und See, zwischen Ruhe und Trubel. Wir haben tolle Wanderungen gemacht (Wasserfall, Oligiasca, Montemezzo), waren in Menaggio beim Stadtbummel, in St. Maria Rezzonico mehrmals am Strand ❤️ und hatten insgesamt eine sehr schöne Woche am Comer See.

messy, filthy place with a very impolite, threatening landlord
Read this as our recommandation: Stay away from this place!! I´m an experienced traveller and booked a lot of vacation appartements - never with any trouble. But THIS place is an insult to italy. The "welcome package" was is nothing else but delegating work that a host should do, not his paying clients: at 15h arrived on time - no one there, even though this was announced. Weired instructions (neither understandable german nor english) - couldn´t find keys or anything else. So after 6 hours of driving, arriving in time no one there to help us, we called the landlord Mr. Paolo himself, telling him about the unsatisfying situation. Instead of apologizing or any kind of empathy he threatened us in low level english "he will throw us out of his house if we dared to complain, and we will find no place to stay". The place itself is filthy, furniture cheap and major parts broken - kitchen was unusuable (oven+hotplates out of function, broken and filthy pan&pots) &repairing company was "on vacation, sorry". Bathroom full of mold, NO shower at a bathtub with irregular warm water, living room covered with doghair&dirt, smaller than announced, one bedroom was not a room as announced but the entrance corridor with a cheap bunk bed and a glassdoor to next "room" (a galery, not a room - so no intimacy possible) - altogether a mess and partly fraud. Unfortunately we cannot upload photos here - but I will do so on my social media. We will demand back at least 50% of the money.

Rustic House next to the forest with a great view! If you Are interested in a calm place, kept simple and relax this location will fit perfectly. The street may difficult to find and drive, its a bit adventurous. For the Check in you have to open junction Boxes and take pictures. The Host requires to list the inventory and inform him directly. This Procedere seems exaggerated to me because eveything in the House looks old and used. Inventory not changed for years… and I mean Not vintage or historical. This house has charm but is kept very simple. The contact with the host was easy and fast. We appreciated That.

Das Haus liegt sehr schön am Waldrand und hat einen tollen Blick auf den See. Leider fehlt aber jeder Schutz gegen Schnacken (Gitter, etc.), und bei unserem Aufenthalt gab es tausende (vermutlich jahresbedingt, aber auch wegen der Lage am Waldrand). Sauberkeit war in Ordnung, aber das Haus ist schwer zu putzen (Hohe Decken, Steinwände, etc.). Das Bad sehr klein, keine eigentliche Dusche, sondern nur eine Wanne ohne Spritzschutz. Das Wasser war entweder zu heiß oder zu kalt und nicht stabil in der Temperatur. Das Haus ist sehr klein für 5 Personen, aber das wussten wir vorher. Der Gastgeben antwortet sehr schnell, und die Hilfsperson vor Ort war sehr freundlich. Der Check-in ist allerdinge ein wenig umständlich mit mehreren Fotos vom Gas- und Stromzähler, das kannten wir so nicht bislang. War aber auch kein Problem. Trotz der genannten Mängel haben wir unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen, die Gegend ist wunderschön.
