Luxury homes with a private chef
Imagine waking to the sound of sizzling eggs, butter scraping across homemade sourdough, and freshly-pressed orange juice sloshing in a morning carafe. In our luxury homes that come with the option of hiring a private chef, you won’t have to imagine.
While it’s true that the ideal holiday looks different for everybody, catering tops the list for being one of the most indulgent short break add-ons. When adding private dining to your holiday, there’s no such thing as trekking to the supermarket, wrestling with the lid of the pickle jar, or hollers of “is something burning?” rattling down the hall. Even the dreaded clean-up’s a thing of home-life past. Think of luxury homes with a private chef as a self-care staycation, an opportunity to sip the coffee while it's still hot and point out recipes that appear like magic.
Whether you have your heart set on a luxury beach house for two or a larger-than-life celebration home where all your family and friends can dine in style, we offer exclusive access to some of the nation’s most talented private cooks. We’re talking twisting strings of cacio e pepe in a starlit courtyard, scoffing buddha bowls on a yoga deck, and peering around leaning stacks of syrup-drenched pancakes at the brunch table. Be it a creative in-house dining experience fit for a family gathering, or a solo sojourn where dessert is always on the menu, we have a home for you.
