Frequently asked questions
What is a coliving?
A coliving is a space designed for people who work remotely and want to spend time with other people and discover a new place. At Chalet Gascoyne we believe that living together helps people be inspired (by nature and by others) and be more productive.
Every person has their own personal space, but there are always social areas available for those who want to connect and share a meal / an activity or simply a conversation.
Everyone is welcome; there is no typical age or profession… Anyone who is open-minded, willing to meet people and work on their projects (and who is over 18) can stay at Chalet Gascoyne
The space is thought through to be a productive and social environment. Every week, we’ll organize events/dinners/activities to make sure people get to know each other and have fun when they’re done with their work, but Chalet Gascoyne is not a “party-place”.
Why is there a minimum stay of 14 days?
We feel that staying 2 weeks will allow people to truly connect with other people and build lasting friendships. Staying just a week-end would make it feel a bit too much like a short “holiday” and we really want to maintain this work-life balance in our space.
The longer you stay, the bigger the discount. For stays over 20 days, you’ll get 25% off your full stay
How does it work for food and cooking? (+ family dinners)
We have a large shared kitchen where you’ll be able to cook your own meals. Every guest gets a designated space where they can store their personal groceries. Basic ingredients such as oil, vinegar, sugar, spices are provided.
We also organise family dinners. It’s in our opinion a great way to connect with other colivers, eat super diverse food for a really good quality price ratio (But as everything in a coliving, all these dinners are of course optional).
This how it works:
Once a week during our family meeting (weekly meeting where we organise a bit our week inside the coliving), we define the cooking schedule.
There are just a few rules to keep in mind:
There should always be a vegetarian option in the meal… People have different diets for very diverse reasons (allergies, environmental commitments, eat more healthy and so on…) and we found that in most of the cases, offering a vegetarian option is enough. And in case some people have more restrictive diets, we will always find a solution… and so far it has never been a big issue.
Family dinners are not a competition. We like to cook simple and healthy food for everyday life… There is no need to have a first dish, main dish and dessert every evening of the week. Of course it doesn’t mean we don’t put love in what we cook (or that you can’t cook a dessert if you want to). It just means we try not to overdo it and to keep it simple.
We try to cook balanced and diverse food… We do eat pasta and rice but we also try to cook lots of veggies, incorporate ingredients like lentils, beans, tofu… and we try not to over consume carbohydrates, meat and fish.
And that’s pretty much it 🙂 . You see, nothing to worry about right?
