Private Chefs & Dining
A chef in the villa for a single dinner or the whole week. Tuscan classics, a tasting menu, the sunset flambé.
About private chefs & dining →Experiences
A villa is the start of the week, not the whole of it. Around each house we arrange the things that turn a stay into the trip people talk about afterwards: a chef at your table, a morning in a working cellar, a truffle hunt at first light. Some are run by the estates themselves; others we book with the people we trust across Tuscany. You tell us the appetite, and we make the calls.

A morning in the wood with a hunter and his dog, ending in the truffle lunch you have just earned.

Tell us who is coming and what kind of week you want, and we will propose the experiences that fit it — by name, at your villa or the estates we know, arranged before you arrive.
Nothing here is a voucher product. Each experience is arranged around your house and your week: the chef shops the morning market before cooking in your kitchen, the truffle hunter collects you at first light in season, the cellar door opens because the producer knows us. Some are run by the estates themselves, Castelfalfi and Castiglion del Bosco keep everything from falconry to barrel-room tastings on the property; others we book with people we trust across Tuscany.
Tell us the appetite when you enquire and we build the week around it. For timing, the month guides under planning say when each experience is at its best, the vendemmia in September, truffles from October, the coast in high summer.
