The house has four full-time staff: a cook, two housekeepers and a gardener/handyman.

They arrive about 8.30am and leave around 4pm, having prepared guests' evening meals. Guests are provided with a menu of meal options at the beginning of their stay and invited to plan their meals with the cook. the staff only work at weekends by prior agreement at weekend rates.

If needed, a babysitter or house-sitter can also be arranged. It is assumed that guests prefer privacy in the evenings however if it is requested we can make staff available to look after guests in the evening as well and stay at the villa overnight.
