Staff: housekeeper, chef, gardener, pool cleaning Staff come in two forms: essential and indulgent. The essential is set out below, but includes a modicum of indulgence as well, especially the morning bread-run with fresh croissant and baguettes or the pleasure or not having to cook. Indulgences though perhaps less necessary can reach the parts that other pampering can't...

Gardening The house, grounds and swimming pool are all maintained to a high standard day to day by Rose, and with the regular help of Philippe our groundsman and René our pool maintenance man. Pool cleaning The pool is filtered through a saline system which is kind to eyes, hair and costumes and is monitored by a bi-weekly visit from pool professionals. © Escrimis-la-Chapelle
