We can provide you with a professional chef. Prices are the same for 2 to 10 people. After 10 people the cost is $10 per person extra. The cost of food is additional, but the chef will do the shopping and present you with receipts for reimbursement. Dining is designed to be family style as the chef prepares everything fresh at the villa, so we kindly ask you to choose 1-2 appetizers, 1-2 entrees, 1-2 desserts, etc. that everyone will share. Once you confirm the dates & meals you’d like to hire the chef for, your concierge would collect and put you in contact directly with the chef so you can communicate regarding your menu choices.
