What service staff cover

Servers handle the table, not the kitchen: setup and briefing before guests arrive, plated, family-style or buffet service, pouring and timing, clearing between courses, and a clean-down after dessert. They coordinate with whoever is cooking — your chef, a third-party caterer or your own villa cook — so you are booking professional service, not a food package.

Formats range from a seated dinner to a canapé reception. For cocktail mixing and a full bar, add a bartender; for wine pairing design, add a sommelier session.

How many servers you need

Plan on roughly one server per ten guests for standard table service — one per eight to ten for plated formal dinners, one per fifteen for buffets, one per fifteen to twenty for canapé receptions. Above twenty guests we add a lead server. Send your guest count and service style and we size the team in your quote.

The team arrives 60–90 minutes before guests for setup and briefing and stays 30–45 minutes after dessert for clean-down, so a typical dinner books four to five hours from setup start to final pack-down.

Stays, weeks and repeat teams

Multi-day and full-stay bookings are common — especially breakfast-and-dinner service across a family holiday. We hold the same team for your dates wherever possible, and multi-day rates are quoted as one written package. On return bookings we do our best to reassign your preferred team.

Booking a chef for your whole stay? Fold servers for the nights that matter into a complete villa team — one quote, one coordinator, one team that knows your house by the second visit.

Published service-staff rates

Servers are published on an hourly basis with a minimum-hours booking. Booked time runs from agreed setup start to final pack-down. Multi-day stay patterns are quoted as one written package.
