What VITANOVAE does

VITANOVAE is a French 'société à mission d'impact sociétal' that acquires, renovates, and operates a portfolio of coliving residences and flexible furnished apartments across the Bordeaux metropolitan area (Bordeaux, Bègles) and Libourne. The portfolio of approximately 10-11 properties and ~70 units is operated under integrated service lines: long-stay coliving (6+ months), short-stay/hotel-style stays, and an enterprise offering ('Offre Entreprises') for companies housing mobile employees on stays of more than one month. The company also runs a full-service Propriétaires offering covering acquisition support, legal/fiscal structuring, renovation, and rental management for outside owners, alongside La Cuisine de Camille, a solidarity culinary third place that delivers co-working, seminars, team building, catering, and participatory meals.

The underlying technology is primarily physical: eco-responsible design across properties including a centralized heat pump system at Patio des Faures, vegetated patios, and shared common equipment (libraries, cinema screens, equipped kitchens). The platform is a Squarespace-hosted direct booking website with email and WhatsApp as the principal customer-contact channels; no native mobile app, API, or proprietary software product is disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the website and field sales to enterprise clients and property owners, with community-driven lead generation through La Cuisine de Camille.

Revenue is generated across multiple streams: short-stay rental (e.g., €89/day at Jardin des Capus), long-stay coliving (€475-1,290/month all-inclusive depending on unit and tier), enterprise business stays (€900-1,290/month per unit), property management services for outside owners, and transaction-fee income from La Cuisine de Camille events, catering, and coworking. Pricing is all-inclusive, bundling rent, utilities, internet, insurance, and weekly cleaning, with optional service packs. Customer segments span individual travelers and nomads, mobile employees and remote workers, property owners and investors, enterprise clients, local community and associations, and artists and seasonal workers.

Regional players

• Locko (Kardinal): French managed coliving operator targeting young professionals in secondary French cities. Comparable on furnished community-oriented housing but focused outside the Bordeaux market.
• Cohabs: Belgian-founded coliving operator with all-inclusive furnished housing for young professionals. Highly comparable on product, target segment, and pricing structure, but operates primarily in Belgium, France, and Portugal, not in the Bordeaux market directly.
