Lisa Vanderpump knows comparisons between her long-running reality series, Vanderpump Rules, and her new Hulu show, Vanderpump Villa, are inevitable — but she insists they have little in common aside from her being the boss.

In Villa, cameras follow 12 cast members 24/7 as they live and work together at Lisa’s pop-up château in the middle of the French countryside. (Think Below Deck on land.) “We wanted to make an immersive experience full of characters that would bring the life and soul to the party. I didn’t want it to be like a fuddy-duddy old hotel,” Lisa, 63, exclusively tells Life & Style. “It’s deliciously naughty, but also has a feel-good factor we all need right now.”

Vanderpump Villa premiered on April 1 and is now streaming exclusively on Hulu.

Grace Cottrell, Housekeeper

The small-town girl, 23, had her work cut out for her. “I’m from the South, and I know how to handle a mess,” she says. “When Marciano makes a mess of things, guess who has to clean it up?”

Telly Hall, Mixologist

Outspoken Telly, 28, can sometimes be “too honest,” she admits. “I’m someone who has good intentions and wants the best for everyone. When you work and live together 24/7, you’re bound to have your moments.”

Stephen Alsvig, Events Coordinator

“Twelve strangers are being shipped to France to adapt to each other, Château Rosabelle and Lisa’s very high expectations,” says the 31-year-old, who worked with Lisa at her Cocktail Garden in Las Vegas.

“There’s romance, hookups, fights, crying — it’s a lot,” reveals the Miami native, 25, adding that Hannah and Marciano bring the most drama. “They are a recipe for toxicity.”

Andre Mitchell, Mixologist

The former college football player, 31, says the crew occasionally “had a little too much fun,” noting: “It’s different from your normal reality show where you can go home at the end of the day.”

Caroline Byl, Sous Chef

“Have you ever met a chef cooking in high heels with a French accent?” asks the Paris-trained cook, 38, who may be Lisa’s biggest fan: “She brings hospitality, high standards and class to a whole new level.”

Eric Funderwhite, Château Manager

The hospitality pro — and previous Lisa employee — is a perfectionist. “But perfect isn’t always by the books,” says the 37-year-old. “Sometimes you need to have fun and open a bottle or two.”

Emily Kovacs, Housekeeper

“Everybody gets a hand in the chaos,” says the Brookfield, Connecticut, native, 25. “There are plenty of disagreements and risky behaviors. Expect to see it all — the good, the bad and the ugly.”

Anthony Bar, Executive Chef

The France native, 37, competed on Hulu’s Secret Chef, but it was just as challenging to manage the variety of guests and events at the château: “They added an element of unpredictability and excitement.”

“The show stands out because it shows all of us living together and working together with the guests — every episode has drama,” says the 27-year-old Brazil native, adding that “drama should be Marciano’s last name.”
