Imagine this...
"It is your birthday. You are in a beautiful villa in Provence, surrounded by your friends and family. The air is filled with the fragrant scent of lavender and rosemary. You get dressed up and wander down to the balmy terrace where a refreshing aperitif awaits you. Soft music plays in the background, setting the perfect mood. As you sit down, you are delighted course after course by exquisitely prepared dishes, each one more impressive than the last.
Your private chef has crafted a bespoke menu, featuring the finest local ingredients, perfectly paired with carefully selected wines. The laughter and conversation flow as freely as the wine, all while you enjoy five-star dining from the comfort of your own villa. The meal is complemented by the stunning backdrop of the Provencal landscape, with rolling hills, lush vineyards, and the golden glow of the setting sun..."
You can do more than imagine this. You can have this, and more.
The benefits of a private chef in Provence
Having a private chef is more than just a meal; it is an experience. Imagine savouring customised dishes crafted from quality local ingredients, right in the comfort of your holiday home. Unlike dining in a restaurant, a private chef allows you to truly connect with the essence of Provencal cuisine, embracing the freshest seasonal produce available. This connection to local ingredients elevates each meal, offering a depth of flavour and authenticity that is hard to find elsewhere.
One of the greatest benefits is the control you have over the menu. There is no need to worry about making reservations or dealing with the hassle of getting everyone to a restaurant. Instead, you can relax and enjoy gourmet meals that are perfectly tailored to your tastes and dietary requirements, whether you have allergies, are vegetarian, vegan, or have other intolerances. This personalisation ensures a unique culinary experience for you and your guests, free from the wait times and constraints of traditional dining establishments.
With a private chef, every meal becomes a special occasion. You can indulge in a variety of dishes that reflect the rich culinary heritage of Provence, all while enjoying the intimate setting of your holiday villa. This bespoke service not only makes your stay more convenient but also transforms each dining experience into a memorable part of your holiday.
Important note for groups over 8 people
In Provence, securing a restaurant table for groups larger than eight can be quite challenging. If your group exceeds this size, it is often more efficient and cost-effective to hire a private chef. This not only ensures a seamless dining experience but also allows you to enjoy personalised meals in the comfort of your villa. It is a win-win situation, offering convenience, exclusivity, and the perfect opportunity to savour exquisite local cuisine in a relaxed and intimate setting.

"Having a private chef for our group of fifteen at Mas de Tournesol was a game-changer. We struggled to find a restaurant that could accommodate all of us for a special anniversary dinner, but booking through Provence Holidays made everything so easy. Our chef crafted a menu that catered to everyone's tastes, and the presentation was impeccable. It was truly like having a five-star restaurant right in our villa. The added touch of sourcing fresh ingredients from the local market made the experience even more special. Highly recommend this service for any special occasion!"
