A modern retreat on Lake of Como
Located in the town of Melgrate, in the province of Lecco, Casa sull’Albero is a state-of-the-art facility that offers the utmost comfort and elegance in a relaxed and totally immersed nature setting.
The essence of the shapes of the structure and the sophisticated design attracted my attention! It reminds me a lot of Nordic architecture
Despite its name, it is not a real home on the tree, but a modern design, overlooking the lake of Como, which stands in a wonderful park with secular trees. The location offers its visitors an inestimable feeling of peace, tranquility and well-being: the ideal place to spend a romantic weekend or yourself, to relax and regenerate in contact with nature, without sacrificing modern conveniences.
The welcoming and rejuvenating atmosphere of the Casa del Albero is not only due to the environment in which the structure is located, but is also conferred by the hotel itself which has been designed and realized with great wisdom and meticulous attention to harmony materials, as well as an eye for energy saving, preferring energies from renewable sources.
