What’s Included in a Villa’s Nightly Rate?

Quick answer: Typically, exclusive use of the entire property, standard housekeeping, and basic concierge coordination — additional services like premium chef packages, event staffing, and activity coordination are usually priced separately.

Why it matters: Knowing what’s actually included prevents surprises when the final bill includes services the group assumed were part of the base rate.

The short answer: The nightly rate covers the property and basic support; specialized services for a wedding, celebration, or larger event are typically add-ons.

What to check:

  • Have you gotten a written list of what’s included versus what’s billed separately?
  • Does your trip involve a wedding or celebration that would need event staffing beyond the basics?
  • Are taxes and any deposit clearly stated separately from the nightly rate?

The bottom line: A transparent operator should be able to state clearly, in writing, what the nightly rate covers before you book.
