We ask for an advance food and beverage allowance to allow a member of our staff to be able to shop for your food and beverage needs—and have the villa stocked for you when you arrive. We do not mark-up any such purchases, and you will be given the receipts, whenever possible, during your stay. Your food and beverage allowance is based upon the number of people in your group as well as your meal and beverage preferences (e.g., it costs less per person when there is a larger group, and wine and premium alcoholic beverages cost more). In any case, the staff will settle up with you during your stay; you will either be given a refund for any overage or asked for additional money. If your stay is for longer than one week, the staff will ask you for additional money toward the end of the first week; you can expect that the allowance for subsequent weeks will cost less than the initial week.
