Villa listings often mention “staff included” without explaining what that covers. Here’s what each role actually does.
Caretaker
Usually the baseline role: someone responsible for the property itself — security, basic upkeep, and being a point of contact. Not the same as day-to-day guest service.
Housekeeper
Handles cleaning, laundry, and tidying during your stay. Frequency (daily vs every few days) varies by villa, so confirm this upfront if it matters to you.
Private Chef
Not standard at every villa — often an add-on rather than included. Confirm whether meals, ingredients, and dietary preferences are covered in the cost or billed separately.
Concierge
The role that ties it together: coordinating the above, plus everything outside the villa itself — transport, reservations, and experiences.
Our villa concierge service makes sure you know exactly what staff are included before you book. Ask us for specifics on any property.
