Furnished housing across northern Switzerland
AMICASA AG has operated since 2014, providing furnished rooms and business apartments in five Swiss cities: St. Gallen, Schaffhausen, Basel, Zurich, and Rohr (though Rohr may be administratively part of a larger canton). The firm's legal address is in Schaffhausen at Steigstrasse 77, where the registered leadership includes Martin Stäheli (CEO), Monika Welti-Wicki (authorized signatory), Olga Morsy (finance), Denis Rothmaier (marketing), and Annamaria Gyurkovics (tenant collection). The firm holds Swiss business registration number CH-290.3.018.138-5 and VAT identifier CHE-208.694.559 MWST.
St. Gallen is AMICASA's largest market, with both furnished rooms and dedicated business apartments available in the city center. The firm explicitly markets St. Gallen's offerings as suitable for "Berufstätige, Pendler oder temporäre Aufenthalte" (working professionals, commuters, or temporary stays). Some of the St. Gallen inventory is available for booking through Airbnb in addition to direct bookings through the AMICASA website, a signal that at least some units are self-contained apartments rather than shared rooming houses. The Airbnb channel also suggests that AMICASA can pivot units between furnished-rental and short-stay-accommodation roles depending on market demand, which may mean faster availability for last-minute relocations. The site includes sample images and panoramic apartment views for browsing before contact, though without prices, lease terms, or availability calendars published online. A prospective tenant can scout the units visually but must still phone or email to learn costs and lease terms.
Schaffhausen has furnished rooms in a central location near the railway station, marketed for short or long-term lease. Basel offers furnished rooms in a central location close to the university district, which is a hint that the Basel inventory may be geared toward students or academic staff as much as corporate relocations. Zurich's offering is described briefly as rooms in "top location" (top lage) in Kreis 6, a central and expensive district, with a note that some units are furnished and some unfurnished, leaving ambiguity about the default.
The site offers no pricing, no minimum lease terms, and no description of what furnished means: whether units include kitchens, laundry, utilities, or workspace. It does not state whether leases are month-to-month or whether early termination is possible. It does not describe the condition or age of furnishings, access to public transport, or what amenities (if any) are common to all five locations. It does not list check-in procedures, deposit amounts, or whether viewings must be scheduled or can occur at will. The site does not explain the distinction between "furnished rooms" (möblierte Zimmer) and "business apartments" (private Business-Apartments), leaving a potential renter unsure whether to expect a shared bathroom or a private en-suite, or whether business apartments include a kitchenette.
The firm provides two contact methods: a phone number (+41 52 551 01 14) and an email address (info@amicasa.net). The website invites contact "persönlich und unkompliziert" (personally and without fuss), suggesting that inquiries by phone or email are the primary intake process and that most details are worked out in conversation rather than published online. This is typical of local furnished-housing providers in Switzerland, where scarcity and fast turnaround mean that pricing and availability shift too quickly for a website to stay current.
Someone relocating to work in one of these five cities can use AMICASA as a starting point: the five-city presence means the firm has enough inventory to likely have something available within a reasonable timeframe, and the mention of "Pendler" (commuters) and the Airbnb option suggest a range of lease lengths from a few weeks upward. The St. Gallen emphasis (both rooms and apartments, with Airbnb availability) suggests that location as the firm's strongest market. For anyone unfamiliar with the region or hesitant to commit to furnished housing sight-unseen, the panoramic views are a useful preview. The lack of published pricing or terms means comparing against other furnished-housing providers requires phone calls to all of them, a friction that may discourage some arrivals but likely works fine for someone already committed to a job in one of these cities and who has a moving timeline.
The firm does not publish lengthy tenant reviews or ratings, and does not market itself as budget or premium, which leaves a prospective tenant unsure whether AMICASA is an economical option or a high-end service or something in between. The fact that the firm handles its own tenant collection (Gyurkovics's role) rather than outsourcing to a bank or landlord association is a structural signal: it suggests direct landlord relationships and potentially more flexibility on terms than a large-scale outfit, but also no buffer if a dispute arises. The multi-city footprint and the registered legal structure point to a small but stable operation, now over ten years in business.
