The desk
The part of the holiday that happens around the villa.
Every villa we let comes with a team who know it: who runs the boats in that bay, which chef the owner actually uses, which table is worth asking for. Tell us before you travel and it's arranged by the time you arrive.

The arranging is part of the booking. Chefs, boats and tickets are charged by the supplier at their own rates: we tell you what they are before anything is confirmed.
Before you arrive
Settled before you land.
The things that are easier settled from London than from a hire car on the first afternoon.
- A private chef, for one dinner or the whole week
- Catering and menus agreed in advance
- The fridge stocked before you land
- Airport transfers, and a car if you want one
- Babysitting, arranged with people the owners use
While you're there
Ask the team, not the internet.
Most of it is a phone call to someone they have worked with for years.
- Restaurant tables, including the ones showing no availability
- A boat for the day, skippered or bare
- Private boat tours of the coast and islands
- Excursions and guides, chosen for the villa you're in
- Theatre and concert tickets
- Kayaks, bikes and paddleboards delivered to the door
Some of it
Arranged, in the villas we let.
Photographed at our own villas. Everything else on this page, from transfers and tables to guides and tickets, is arranged the same way, without a photograph to show for it.
Ask for something
Tell us the villa, the dates, and what you have in mind.
If you have not booked yet, say so: a good deal of this is easier to build into the stay than to add afterwards. You can also browse the destinations first.
