The Nonanteneuf experience: the best of apartments and hotels combined

Nonanteneuf is what's known as an aparthotel. The term covers a wide range of realities — from standardised tourist residences to a more thoughtfully designed hospitality concept. Here's what it means in practice at Nonanteneuf, and why this model suits certain stays better than the classic alternatives.

Nonanteneuf is not a hotel. There's no room service, no uniformed concierge, no included breakfast buffet. Nor is there a four-page house rules document, a deposit paid to a stranger on a platform, or a message saying 'the host will contact you 48 hours before arrival to hand over the keys'. Nonanteneuf is a professionally run establishment offering fully equipped apartments — with the welcome quality and reliability of hotel accommodation, and the space, autonomy and comfort of a real apartment. It's not a vague middle ground. It's a third category, designed for stays where neither the hotel nor a traditional rental is quite right.

1. A fully equipped kitchen. Not a kitchenette. A real kitchen: hob, oven, fridge, complete crockery. You can cook a family meal, prepare your lunches for the week if you're on a work trip, or simply not depend on a restaurant every evening. 2. Real space. Nonanteneuf flats offer genuine living space; depending on the property, they feature a living room, separate bedroom(s) and a workspace. 3. Full autonomy. Flexible check-in, a shared laundry room available to all residents. You run your stay your way. 4. Flexible terms. The longer you stay, the more the conditions adapt to your needs. We build our offers around the duration and context of your stay. 5. No unnecessary add-on charges. You don't pay for a spa you won't use or a baggage service built into the base rate. The price you see is the price you pay.

1. Professional reliability. Nonanteneuf apartments are managed by a professional team. Linen is clean and consistent, equipment works, spaces are regularly maintained. No surprises on arrival. 2. Structured welcome. There is always someone to turn to if a problem arises. A contact person available by email, WhatsApp or phone. 3. Professional invoicing. For companies: VAT invoice, business details, possibility of negotiated rates for recurring stays. 4. No hidden platform fees. The displayed price is the price you pay.

Nonanteneuf works particularly well for these profiles: Families travelling with children who need space, a kitchen and separate bedrooms. Professionals on a work trip for a week or more who want to cook, work comfortably and come back to an apartment rather than a room. People in transition or relocating, looking for a furnished, fully equipped place for a few weeks. Travellers exploring the Chablais over several days — hiking, wine tourism, skiing. If, however, you're looking for a hotel with a spa, in-house gourmet restaurant and 24/7 concierge service, Nonanteneuf is not designed for that. We'd rather be upfront about it.

• What exactly is an aparthotel? An aparthotel combines the facilities of an apartment (kitchen, living room, accessible shared laundry) with hotel-standard service (professional welcome, linen provided, regular maintenance). It's a format particularly suited to stays of several nights or more.
• What is the minimum stay at Nonanteneuf? We welcome stays from one night, but our offer is built around multi-night and multi-week stays, with conditions that adapt to the duration.
• Can a company book and pay directly? Yes. We offer business-friendly invoicing with VAT, and the possibility of negotiated rates for teams who travel regularly to the Chablais.
• Is there a reception on site? Check-in is organised flexibly and remotely. You arrive whenever you like and our team remains available throughout your stay. Outside our opening hours, you can reach us via WhatsApp or through the chat.
