Mediterranean Villa Rentals: Cap d'Antibes, Porto Cervo, Mykonos, Portofino, Amalfi and Ibiza

The six coasts in Folio I, and what each one is for

• Cap d'Antibes, Côte d'Azur

  Belle Époque estates above the Garoupe with walled gardens, sea steps and staff quarters built in. The most conservative, most private of the six: you rarely leave the property, and the household runs on a full complement of chef, housekeeper and driver.

• Porto Cervo, Costa Smeralda

  Granite-and-juniper villas built around the marina season. Rentals here are chosen for berth access and tender logistics as much as for the villa; check each villa's season and minimum stay with the booking partner.

• Mykonos, Cyclades

  Cliffside modernism with infinity pools facing Delos. Rates for the same villa can differ considerably between dates, so compare live partner rates for your week.

• Portofino, Ligurian Riviera

  Small, hard-to-get villas on the promontory. We list three villas here; check live availability for your dates.

• Amalfi Coast

  Cliffside and terraced villas around Ravello and Positano. Check steps, parking and road access for each villa before booking; on this coast the road and the stairs shape the week.

• Ibiza, Balearics

  Finca-style estates in the north and glass-walled villas above Cala Jondal. The broadest range of the six: family compounds and party villas sit at the same price point and are not interchangeable.

What a Mediterranean villa week costs

We do not have sourced weekly bands for staffed estates on these coasts, so the table below shows the lowest and highest nightly rate listed by our own villas in each destination in an inventory snapshot taken on 3 October 2026. These are listed rates, not quotations, and they are not season-specific; the booking partner confirms the price for your dates, before VAT, tourist tax and provisioning.

The Amalfi Coast follows the same basis: seven villas listed at USD 1,750 to 8,200 a night in the same snapshot; see the Amalfi Coast villa rentals guide.

What staffing actually includes

• Usually in the rate

  Villa manager or butler, daily housekeeping, gardener and pool maintenance, linen changes, welcome provisioning, and airport transfer on arrival and departure.

• Usually charged separately

  Chef and provisioning at cost plus a service margin, dedicated driver, security, nanny, boat and tender, and any event staffing. Ask for each extra to be quoted before you pay a deposit.

• Always confirm in writing

  Whether staff live in or arrive daily, their hours and days off, who buys the food, and whether the chef cooks lunch as well as dinner. These four answers change the character of the week more than the villa does.

Booking the summer

We have no verified data on how far ahead Mediterranean villas are booked; the booking partner shows what is open for your dates.

• ✓Fix the two weeks that matter, then choose the coast — not the reverse.
• ✓Confirm the exact bed configuration and which bedrooms have en-suites; photographs flatter.
• ✓Ask for the staff list with roles and hours, and the chef's day rate, before deposit.
• ✓Check berth or mooring availability the same week if a boat is part of the plan.
• ✓Confirm tourist tax, VAT treatment and the damage deposit mechanism in writing.
• ✓For Mykonos and Ibiza, ask directly about noise curfews and event restrictions.
