The villas are fully staffed with a minimum of three persons; a cook, maid and gardener and, in many instances, additional personnel. The rental price includes the use of one Jeep or similar vehicle but additional vehicles are available for hire. The household staff are employees of the villa's owner and not of the Company.
Neither the Company nor its agents shall be liable for any damages arising in connection with the services provided by any household staff member or the facilities provided by any owner, including damages arising in connection with the use of vehicles made available for use by the guests.

Neither the owners nor the Company or its agents shall be liable for injury or damage to a guest or to any person who occupies the villa, or be liable for damage to their property, except to the extent that such damages are the direct result of the owner's or Company's negligence.
Each guest is responsible for all acts of the guest's family and all other persons the guest invites into the villa.
Guests must keep the villa appliances, equipment, furniture, furnishings and other personal property supplied therewith clean and in good order and repair. Failure to do so will entitle the owner, or the Company on behalf of the owner, to make appropriate repairs at the guest's expense.
