On holiday, a private chef cooks for your whole stay: you choose which meals to hand over (breakfasts, lunches, dinners) and for how many days, and the chef takes care of shopping, cooking and tidying up in the villa or house you have rented.
It works by the sea, on the lakes and in the mountains, for families and groups of friends. When you book you enter the dates, adults and children and the number of meals, and you get an indicative total price range for the whole stay.
What’s included
- Breakfasts, lunches and dinners, as you choose
- Daily shopping with local produce
- Varied menus throughout your stay
- Care for children and dietary needs
- Kitchen tidied after every meal
Prices
The indicative range is based on adults, children and number of meals: from €32 to €88 per person per meal depending on the level you choose (breakfasts count as half), ingredients excluded. The chef then proposes a total price for the stay.
