Staffed villas in Sorrento
Many of the peninsula's grand houses were built for entertaining, and they still work best with people to run them. Staying in one with its staff feels like being a guest in a private home: breakfast laid on the terrace, lunch from the garden and the market, and someone who knows the right cove for the afternoon.
Among the villas below, a clifftop house once owned by William Waldorf Astor keeps Roman antiquities in its garden and a grotto pool to the sea. Another, once home to the Duchess of Serra Capriola and host to Maxim Gorky, is set in a hectare of gardens above Sorrento. Six suites above the Gulf of Naples share a private spa, a pergola shaded gym and a pool facing Vesuvius, and above Sant'Agata a private putting green lies on lawns facing the sea.

Staff may mean a daily cook, a butler, housekeeping or a couple living on site. We confirm hours, days off and any extra costs in writing.
A good cook here shops for Sorrento lemons, fish, buffalo mozzarella and vegetables from the peninsula's gardens, and cooks to your tastes.
Depending on the house, staff live in or arrive daily. If privacy is a priority, tell us and we will ask how each villa arranges it.

Questions before you choose
Do staff live in the villa?
In some houses staff live on site, often in separate quarters; in others they come in daily. We tell you exactly how each villa is arranged before you confirm.
Can a cook prepare every meal?
It depends on the villa and the agreement. Many guests choose breakfast and dinner, leaving lunch free for the beach or town. We confirm hours and days off with the owner.
