A private chef for your villa guests

People who rent a luxury villa today expect more than a beautiful house. Before they even arrive they ask whether someone can cook, organise a birthday dinner, prepare breakfast in the morning. If you answer that question with a reliable name, the stay has already started well.

We work with property managers, luxury rental agencies and concierges who want to offer their guests a private chef without having to manage it. We talk to the guest, build the menu, cook in the villa and leave the kitchen in order.

Let's talk about working together

How we work with you

We agree the house rules once: access, timings, use of the kitchen, what can be touched and what cannot. From then on, when a guest asks for a chef, you put us in touch and we take care of the rest, from the first message to the final payment.

If you prefer, we work through you, with you as the guest's only point of contact. We adapt to the way you handle bookings, not the other way round.

What we can offer your guests

A dinner for the most important evening of the stay, a meal package for the whole week, breakfasts and lunches by the pool, a cooking class for those who want to learn fresh pasta, an aperitivo at sunset. On request we also bring dining-room staff and take care of the table setting.

The team speaks Italian, English, French, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese, so foreign guests talk directly to the people who cook.

Where we operate

Our base is Florence and we cover the whole of Tuscany: Chianti, the Val d'Orcia, Siena, Lucca, Versilia and Forte dei Marmi, the coast from Bolgheri to the Argentario, the islands. We also follow guests to villas on Lake Como, in Liguria, on the Costa Smeralda and the Amalfi Coast.

On Google we have 25 reviews, all five stars: a useful signal for anyone who has to trust a supplier entering their properties.

Services for your guests

Every service is built around the villa and the guests: these are the most requested formats.

Frequently asked questions

How does working with a property manager work?

We agree house rules, access and procedures once. Then, when a guest asks for a chef, we take care of menu, shopping, service and cleaning up.

Can I be the guest's only point of contact?

Yes. We can work directly with the guest or through you, depending on how you prefer to manage the relationship.

Do you handle foreign guests?

Yes. The team speaks Italian, English, French, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese.

Do you leave the villa's kitchen in order?

Always. At the end of the service we tidy and clean the kitchen, respecting the house rules.

How much does the service cost for guests?

For a dinner roughly 90 to 250 euros per person, depending on menu and service. For stays of several days we prepare an overall quote.
