What you pay for: housekeeping, host, chef, what is not included. UK guests get surprised here.
Wat wij regelen
Staffed is not “a cleaner on Saturday”. It is a rhythm that matches nights out. Chef is usually extra. A manager on WhatsApp is the difference between a house and a headache.
We brief service for how you actually live — late breakfasts, kids, no shoes in the white salon.

Hoe we boeken
01
Send the brief
Dates, headcount, vibe and any must-haves. A WhatsApp note is enough.
02
We check partner desks
Availability first — not a brochure. If it is gone, we say so and offer the next-best fit.
03
Shortlist and holds
You see options with timing and what is included. Holds where the partner allows it.
04
Confirm on one line
You confirm. We earn when the partner booking completes — typically 10–20%. No hidden markup for asking.
