Private villas whose listings name the people who look after you: a cook, a chef, a butler or housekeepers. Each card says who is on site according to the listing. Two listings, Villa Asana and Domaine Beldi, also mention chauffeur services; for the other villas, ask us.
“Staffed” covers everything from a cook who comes in for the day to a household of ten led by a butler. Reading the listings, the villas above fall into three groups, and the starting price follows the size of the team.
A cook and a housekeeper
From €650 to €1,280 a night. A small daytime team that cleans, shops and cooks: Villa Idir, Villa Noor, Villa Lyla and Villa Arwa. Right for families who want meals at home without a formal service.
Starting prices 2026, from each listing, for the whole villa per night. Staff, hours and meal arrangements are quoted from each listing; where a listing is silent, ask us.
Daytime teams go home in the evening. At Villa Arwa the housekeepers work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., so plan dinners out or a cold supper; at Villa Idir the staff stay until 11 p.m., late enough for dinner at home.

Who it suits
When a staffed villa is worth it, and when it is not
Families with young children: breakfast ready, rooms done, and a cook who adapts to the children’s hours. Villa Noor and Villa Lyla are both under €720 a night.
Groups celebrating: a butler such as Villa Andalucía’s, “expert in creative cocktails”, turns the terrace into the evening’s venue.
Special diets: Villa Azarenka’s head chef prepares dishes catering to all diets, and its manager speaks English, German and French.
Golfers out all morning: Villa Idir is on the front line of the Amelkis golf, with lunch waiting when you come back.
Less suited: travellers who want the house entirely to themselves after breakfast, or who plan to eat out every night. For them, housekeeping only, as at Villa Asana, with meals added when wanted, often makes more sense. Weighing a villa team against a palace hotel? Read La Mamounia, Royal Mansour or a private villa.
Before you book
Six questions to ask about the staff
Listings describe the team, not the terms. These are the points we confirm with the owner for your dates, so there are no surprises on arrival.
The dining room at Villa Andalucía, served by its butler and waiter.
Which hours the team works, and whether anyone stays overnight
Whether cooking is included in the rate or charged per meal
How groceries are paid: at cost with receipts, by a daily budget, or in a set menu price
Which languages the staff speak, if you need English, French or German
Allergies and diets: send them before arrival so the first shop is right
Tipping: expected in practice at the end of a stay, though never compulsory
