Estepona has grown along the coast with urbanisations and golf complexes: La Cancelada, Atalaya, Bel Air and Guadalmina hold villas and luxury apartments, while the Centre keeps an old town of flowered streets and refurbished flats. Many properties belong to foreign residents who spend part of the year here and expect full service.

This is a full-service market, often live-in, where having your own car is advisable because of the distances between urbanisations. Demand concentrates in the season and around owners' arrivals, and discretion and experience in large houses are valued.
What the service includes
Daily family cooking, balanced menus, shopping, pantry management and meals for guests.
The first thing to fix is how many meals a day, whether cooking for guests is included and who decides the menu. In Estepona the homes in Centro and La Cancelada looking for a cook usually want one weekly shop and the family's recipes written down, and that makes onboarding much faster.
What we ask of the professional
Experience in family or restaurant kitchens, knowledge of diets and allergies, references.
Beyond kitchen experience, in Estepona we ask for knowledge of diets and allergies and the ability to organise shopping and the pantry; homes in Centro and La Cancelada often ask for menus for guests.
Legal framework
Typically an employment contract with Social Security when the role is exclusive.
In Estepona we support the family through the paperwork: we review the contract before it is signed and check that registration and contributions are up to date.
