Enjoy gourmet dining experiences with our new Chef Service!
We’re now offering our customers the chance to enjoy some unforgettable eats with our new Chef Service! Choose from booking a single sumptuous meal with a private chef for that special occasion, or hire a chef to cook your meals for all or part of your holiday - it’s as flexible as it is delicious.

A) Single Meal Service: A chef will travel to this villa and whip up a fantastic meal for you and your guests. The chef will arrive with all the necessary ingredients as well as the talent to turn them into something unforgettable. They’ll serve the meal and clear up afterwards - an easy and entertaining way to enjoy a top quality meal in your very own villa!

B) Full Chef Service: If you really want to kick back and relax, we can arrange for a chef to cater for the duration of your holiday (or part of it). With a range of options from simple family catering to full-on haute cuisine, we can organise a meal plan and a price to suit your needs. So why worry about self-catering when you can have everything taken care of?

Of course, before booking this service, we suggest you contact the property owner as they might already offer a similar cook or chef service in-house. To find out more simply visit www.oliverstravels.com/chefs.

• Merci Beaucoup

  Posted by Michael on 02/09/2016

  Thank you so much for a really wonderful stay. Everything was 5*… As for Vanessa and her lovely family, and of course the most beautiful Janice, what can I say other than merci beaucoup, probable uttered in my inexcusably poor French accent - so sorry for that, I felt so at home and so pampered. My very best of wishes, as ever, Michael.

• Amazing chateau in a wonderful location!

  The chateau is amazing & in the most wonderful location. The food was exquisite, thank you Jonathan. Wilfred, Vanessa & Romane all did a fantastic job in looking after us in your lovely approachable manor. It really is a beautiful area…. Looking forward to seeing you all again.
