A private chef, at the villa

The best dinners at Roc Villa Bay do not begin in a restaurant. They begin in the kitchen, with a chef who has spent more than thirty years cooking in Tuscany and who understands that a good evening is as much about timing as about technique.

Our private chef service brings that experience into the house. You decide the shape of the evening; the chef takes care of the rest.

A Tuscan chef, in your kitchen

The chef has over thirty years of Tuscan experience. That means a cooking that knows the region from the inside: seasonal vegetables, olive oil, bread, fish from the coast and the kind of dishes that do not need to announce themselves.

A fish menu is available on request. Tell us what you like, what you cannot eat and how formal you want the evening to be. The menu is agreed in advance, together with the timing and any kitchen requirements.

What the evening can be

A long lunch after a morning at the beach. A quiet dinner for two on the terrace. A family table with several generations and no rush. The service adapts to the house and to the group rather than the other way round.

The chef works with the kitchen at the villa. If you have a particular wine in mind, the wine service can source it and, if you want, a sommelier can guide the pairing. For a more hands-on experience, the same kitchen can host an interactive cooking class.

How to arrange it

Private chef service is arranged on request. We ask for the date, the number of guests, any dietary requirements and the style of meal you want. We then confirm the menu, the time and the price in writing before anything is reserved.

We do not publish a standard menu or a fixed price, because both depend on the season, the number of guests and what you choose. What we can promise is a straight answer and a menu built for your table.

If you prefer not to have a chef in the house, in-villa dining covers breakfast, lunch and restaurant delivery.
