In the heart of historic Crémieu in Isère lies a place that is more than just accommodation: the Maison de l'Apothicaire – an Airbnb designed as a sensory journey into a medieval world. Behind secret doors, magical details and a lovingly staged atmosphere, LOXONE works in the background to discreetly ensure comfort, ambiance and security. The result is an experience that immerses you in fantasy – and at the same time shows how modern automation can bring spaces to life without ever pushing itself into the foreground.
An Experience That Begins as the Door Opens
At Maison de l’Apothicaire, the journey begins even before guests have put down their bags. As soon as the door opens, a lovingly staged welcome scenario unfolds: the lighting adjusts, music fills the room and in a matter of seconds, you are immersed in another world. This first moment is crucial – it creates the magical “wow” effect that sets the tone for the entire stay.
In some rooms, little surprises await, revealing themselves at just the right moment. Hidden mechanisms stimulate the imagination and make you want to delve deeper into the history of the house.
All these effects mesh seamlessly – precisely coordinated and without external intervention. The result is an experience that feels alive, as if the house itself had a personality.
Simpler Management – Day After Day
The LOXONE App let you see how the house is doing in just a few seconds: whether the heating is on, which lights are active, which scenes are currently in effect, how security is set up – or whether everything is ready for new guests.
Many tasks take care of themselves. This protects the property, reduces manual intervention and ensures that every stay is consistently pleasant – even when the hosts are far away.
This leaves more time for the essentials, while the house reliably takes care of itself in the background.
QUOTE
Loxone has established itself as the ideal tool for bringing this magic to life: scenarios, atmospheres, automation – everything that transforms a simple night in a cottage into a truly memorable experience. We’re no longer just talking about “well-equipped,” but about a place that really stands out in an ultra-competitive market. The result: the accommodation is rated 4 stars, and that’s also thanks to the intelligence of the system.
An Inspiring Example of Tourist Accommodation
The Maison de l’Apothicaire impressively demonstrates how automation can enrich the guest experience. The comfort, atmosphere and sophisticated controls clearly set this accommodation apart from traditional Airbnbs – a level of quality that has even contributed to its 4-star rating.
This project shows how a combination of atmosphere, energy efficiency and intuitive operation can make an accommodation special. Especially in a market where many offers compete for attention, hosts can use smart solutions to create an experience that will be remembered – while also making their own everyday lives easier.
This turns an accommodation into more than just a place to stay: it creates a feeling that lasts.
