Facilities
The villa is comprised of six big bedrooms and is therefore limited to 12 people. Numbers can be exceeded slightly depending on age of children and upon discussion with the owners but we like to stress that for maximum comfort of guests and staff 12 is an upper limit usually.
Again depending on circumstances the staff are able to accommodate parties and/or buffets and outside guests but usually we like to keep the numbers limited to 12 unless your requirements have been discussed with the owners or the villa manager.
Driver and Car:
A Ford Escape Four wheel drive with 200HP engine with driver is included
in the price (petrol extra of course) and available during normal hours
for guests use (normal hours being 9am to 5pm but flexibility is the
key).
Cook & Maid:
A full time staff averaging six to eight people are available
to do your gourmet cooking (five star Thai cooking and full western breakfasts
with lot's of fruit and juices are available) and for laundry services
(a small charge is made for personal laundry items and dry cleaning would
be charged at prevailing rates). Barbecue facilities are available as is
a decent italian coffee maker /grinder etc.
Food and drinks are purchased from the local markets/supermarkets and are charged at cost (a tax charge of 7% will be added to food and drinks and service is at the discretion of guests ) so the savings on hotel prices are substantial. Menus and preferences can be discussed in advance with the villa manager and tailored to your needs. In general the staff will do the shopping for you under your instructions but you are welcome to do your own too. Again flexibility is key. The general rule being that the staff are available from 6am to 10pm.
Gardener/Pool Cleaner:
Full time staff are on hand for daily maintenance.
Resident Manager:
The Resident Manager is on duty for special requests
and to ensure smooth operation of the villa as is a butler.
Baby Sitting:
Baby sitting can be organized with advance notice
and by arrangement with the villa manager. Sometimes if it is a small group
and the catering staff is not too busy with their daily routine they may
be able to help, but otherwise we need to get extra personnel.
Wine Cellar:
The villa has a well filled wine cooler with a selection
of connoisseur French wines available at cost prices.
Massage:
In house personal massages can be booked through
our villa Manager as can tours etc.

The master bedroom is also equipped with TV (multiple cable channel system) and sound HI FI system. All other bedrooms are equipped with Sony Trinitron and a limited satellite TV system (as provided in the hotels).

Free WIFI ADSL Internet Access:
As mentioned above the villa is equipped in the master bedroom with a decent
desk top computer with flat screen and printer with internet access for
free usage of guests. For those who wish to bring their wifi enabled laptops
they may continue working around the pool or from any of the bedrooms and
lounge as the villa is connected.
Airport Pick-up and Drop-off:
Airport pick-up and drop-off will be arranged by the Resident Manager.
This service if required
is charged strictly at cost and added to the guests bill for food
and drinks and sundries consumed at the villa. However, please note: if
the arrival times of the guests are staggered we will have to charge extra
per journey as it involves many return trips to the airport which is forty
minutes away.
