Airbnb property management in Annecy : the Venice of the Alps, year-round
Annecy ranks among France's most sought-after destinations. The lake, the charm of the historic centre and the immediate proximity of the Alps draw French and European visitors throughout the year. Demand remains sustained twelve months of the year, with a median occupancy rate of 76%, reaching 92% at the height of summer. Annecy is also where we manage the Neostelia apart-hotel, and where our head office is based.
The rental market in Annecy
Annecy asserts itself as a rare destination, where alpine art de vivre meets the elegance of the lakeshore. Around the old town, rental demand is sustained by a precious balance: the charm of the historic centre, the immediate proximity of the water, the gentleness of the seasons and the constant appeal of a lively city year-round.
Summer reveals the full power of the destination. Travellers come seeking the light on the lake, walks through the old town, cultural events and that singular atmosphere that makes Annecy far more than a simple tourist stop. But its appeal is not limited to fine weather: out of season, the city maintains solid momentum, driven by short stays, weekends, business travel and getaways at the foot of the Alps.
In this context, a property's value plays out in the details: the address, the floor, the quality of the furnishings, the aspect, the view and the ability to deliver a smooth, refined and memorable experience. Neighbouring municipalities such as Sevrier, Veyrier and Saint-Jorioz further reinforce this premium positioning, particularly for properties oriented towards the lake.
In Annecy, succeeding in short-term rental therefore rests not simply on listing a property. It demands a fine reading of the market, agile pricing, impeccable presentation and rigorous command of the local regulatory framework.

Why entrust us with your property in Annecy
Our head office is in Annecy (15 boulevard Jacques Replat), five minutes' walk from the old town. This immediate local presence gives us three concrete advantages: we can be on site within the hour for any emergency, we know the town's tourist accommodation officers personally, and we have established relationships with the building managers of the most complex historic-centre co-ownerships. On the commercial side, managing the Néostelia apart-hotel gives us direct access to the best local benchmarks and the practices that make the difference on the platforms. On the regulatory side, we handle the entire owner process: registration, tourist tax collection and remittance, co-ownership compliance, and monitoring of the municipality's evolving rules — including neighbourhoods subject to change-of-use authorisation requirements.
