Our chef at home experience
Experience the unique opportunity of having a private chef directly in your villa, for one or several meals, tailored to your preferences and needs.
A true culinary experience
Our trusted chefs offer Provençal and French cuisine, with some adding subtle exotic touches inspired by their personal background. Provence provides a wealth of fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, fish and meats all around the year, allowing chefs to create dishes with seasonal, local produce.
A personalised experience
We have chefs for all types of requests: from traditional family-style dishes to gourmet menus, and even creations highlighting edible flowers and herbs. Most of our chefs enjoy sharing tips and conversing with you while they cook, a unique advantage of a private experience. All our chefs are also aware of special diets and food allergies.
Comfort and convenience
Hiring a private chef means you do not need to leave your villa, drive after enjoying a drink, or worry about shopping and cooking. You can fully enjoy your villa, its view, and your pool. For large families or groups, this option is particularly suitable, as booking a restaurant for many people can be challenging.
Additional experiences
To enhance your experience, you can add a cookery class for the whole group or only for selected guests or a wine tasting at home before your dinner with one of our sommelier. Our wine merchants can also deliver wine directly to your villa and advise on perfect wine pairings with the menu chosen with the chef.
Private chefs are highly sought after, especially during the summer season when holidays in Provence and Côte d'Azur are at their peak. To secure the professional who best reflects your culinary preferences, dietary requirements, and the style of experience you wish to create in your villa, we strongly advise confirming your booking as early as possible. Advance planning ensures greater choice and allows time to curate a truly personalised dining experience within your rental.
How it works
The private chef service forms part of our Experience package and becomes available after having adhered to the Experiences package. Designed to enhance your stay in Provence with carefully curated services, this offering allows you to enjoy a tailored culinary moment within your Villa.
To begin, our experience team will ask a series of detailed questions to understand your expectations, the composition of your group, any specific dietary requirements, and the atmosphere you wish to create, whether for a relaxed family dinner or a more refined evening during your vacation.
Based on this information, we carefully select a chef whose expertise and culinary style align with your wishes. Once introduced, you will be put in direct contact with the chef to discuss menu proposals, refine details, and receive a personalised quotation.
Payment arrangements are made directly with the chef in accordance with their individual terms and conditions.
Throughout the entire process, our team remains at your disposal to provide guidance and ensure everything runs smoothly. Should the proposed chef not fully correspond to your expectations prior to final confirmation, we will be pleased to recommend an alternative professional, ensuring your experience in your villa in the south of France meets the highest standards.
