PRIVATE CHEF: CATERED MEALS AT YOUR PRIVATE VILLA

Our "catered meals" program, is a high-quality service that can be personalized
according to your needs and is designed for those who choose to spend their vacation renting a private villa or apartment in Tuscany. 

Our chefs are a couple who have worked together for many years and they cover the areas of Florence, Chianti, Mugello, Siena and Lucca. 

Dinner is made and served in your villa, however it is important to know in advance if the kitchen is well equipped and if they can have access to it for a few hours before dinner time. 

Wine expenses. Naturally a good table wine is provided (often a Chianti Classico), but upon specific request for vintage wines , there is an extra charge for the wine expenses. 

We also offer Cooking lessons , cooking enthusiasts can cook with them and participate in the preparation of the meals.
