Italy

Italy is a dream destination for food lovers. The country is known for its culinary heritage, and its regional cuisine is famous around the world. Villas in Italy are often situated on olive groves and vineyards, allowing guests to enjoy the olive oil or wine made on those exact estates where they stay. For many villas, we can also add a professional chef to create Italian delicacies with ingredients picked fresh from the villa’s garden. Whether your clients choose to cook in their villa's full kitchen, enjoy a chef-prepared meal, or indulge in a private in-villa cooking class, they'll have the opportunity to savor the flavors of Italy and appreciate the country's culinary traditions.

France

France is another destination that's renowned for its cuisine. From the buttery croissants and flaky baguettes to the exquisite cheeses and wines, French food is all about indulgence. Villas in France offer easy access to some of the country's most iconic ingredients, such as truffles, foie gras, and Champagne. Guests can explore the local markets and bring back fresh ingredients to prepare their own meals, or they can indulge in a private chef experience and savor the culinary delights of France without lifting a finger.

Jamaica

Jamaica is a destination that's bursting with flavor - known for its spice and heat. Many villas in Jamaica feature professionally-trained chefs who can create delicious Jamaican cuisine for your clients – and chicken tenders for picky eaters. From jerk chicken and ackee and saltfish to curry goat and plantains, Jamaican food is a feast for the senses. Your clients can immerse themselves in the local culture and cuisine by visiting the local markets, farm-to-table restaurants, and meeting local producers.

Mexico

Mexico is another destination that's perfect for food lovers. Mexican cuisine is known for its vibrant and bold flavors, featuring fresh ingredients such as cilantro, lime, and avocado. Our villas in Riviera Maya also feature professionally trained chefs who can create authentic Mexican cuisine for your clients. Whether they want to try traditional dishes like tacos, tamales, and ceviche, or experiment with their own creations, your clients can enjoy the flavors of Mexico in the comfort of their villa.

Why a Villa is a Great Starting Point for a Culinary Getaway

Staying in a luxury villa rental is the perfect starting point for a culinary getaway. The villa's full kitchen allows guests to cook their own meals using fresh, local ingredients. Alternatively, a private chef can create delicious meals for guests, taking the hassle out of cooking and allowing them to relax and enjoy their vacation. Staying in a villa also allows guests to immerse themselves in the local culture and cuisine. They can explore the local markets, meet local producers, and learn about the region's culinary history and traditions. This unique experience can create memories that last a lifetime and provide a deeper appreciation for the food and culture of the region.
