Your Responsibilities
• Communicate with guests before arrival and assist with transfers
• Welcome guests and ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for throughout their stay
• Lead culinary excursions to local towns, wineries and olive oil producers
• Prepare the aperitivo and ensure everything is ready for dinner
• Inspect guest rooms, public areas and gardens to maintain excellent standards
• Supervise housekeeping and gardening staff and coordinate their workloads
• Coordinate routine maintenance and ensure any issues are dealt with promptly
• Monitor villa systems including the pool, heating and irrigation
• Manage breakfast shopping, cleaning supplies and weekly stock requirements
• Support the Operations Manager with administration and the smooth day-to-day running of the villa
