Every villa we place is staffed — private chef, housekeeping and a house manager as the baseline, with security, drivers and provisioning added to your brief. The genuinely good houses in peak season never reach listing sites; access is relationships. We shortlist two or three real fits with current photos and the true weekly rate, then run the stay end to end — arrival stocking, staff briefing, yacht days, tables and jets around it.
More: what actually matters in a villa rental and the full villas & private resorts service.
One message starts it: destination, dates, bedrooms and the feel you want — party base, family week, or gated privacy. We come back with a shortlist of two or three houses we would actually stay in, with current photos and the true weekly rate, not a listing price built to be negotiated. You choose; we hold the house, brief the staff to your preferences, stock the kitchen before wheels-down and stay on call throughout the stay. The villa then becomes the anchor for the rest of the week — the transfer in, the yacht day, the tables — held by the same concierge, so nothing is ever re-explained twice.
What's included in a staffed villa?
Private chef, housekeeping and a house manager as standard, with drivers, security and childcare added to your brief. The house is stocked to your preferences before you land.
Are the from-prices accurate?
They are honest in-season starting guides for properly staffed houses. Front-line positions and peak weeks run higher; we confirm real rates with your shortlist.
Which destination books out first?
Courchevel Christmas and February weeks, then Saint-Tropez and Mykonos peak summer. If your dates are fixed, start months ahead.
Do you handle security for public figures?
Yes — gated properties, vetted close protection and NDA-grade discretion are routine for us. See lifestyle management.
Villas are sourced through our vetted partner network and let by the property owner or their appointed agent. Weekly rates shown are live from the supplier and already include our fee; the exact figure is confirmed for your dates before you commit. Each property’s tourist licence number is shown on its card.
