Does the chef price include the food?
With our Chef & Butler service, the service fee and the groceries are billed separately — we shop and stock your villa at catalog prices before you arrive, and you approve the total first.

Yes. Every menu can be customized for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and children's preferences at no extra charge. Tell your concierge about any allergies or dietary needs, and the chef will adapt the menu accordingly.
How far in advance should I book a private chef?
We recommend booking at least 48 hours before arrival so we can confirm availability, plan your menu and stock your villa in time. During the Christmas and New Year period, book as early as possible, as dates fill quickly and holiday services are non-refundable.
