A meal shaped around the stay.

A private chef request might be one dinner that marks the holiday, breakfast on selected mornings, or several meals across the week. The right fit depends on the villa, destination, dates, group and the kind of service you want.

Bnbstay would first check what is possible, then share a written option for you to consider. Nothing should be treated as included until it appears in the villa details or your confirmed arrangement.

Tell us what the meal needs to feel like.

These are useful starting points for an enquiry, not fixed packages or promises.

One memorable dinner

A birthday, anniversary, first night or final evening, with the pace and atmosphere planned around your group.

Breakfast, lunch or dinner

Ask about a particular meal, several selected days or wider support across the stay.

Relaxed family dining

Shared dishes, children’s preferences and a service style that suits how your party wants to spend the evening.

A menu with real constraints

Dietary needs, allergies, religious requirements and accessibility should be part of the first conversation.

The food should be part of the picture.

Share the flavours, ingredients or dining style you enjoy. A proposal might then set out a suggested menu, but Bnbstay should not publish a generic menu as though it is available for every villa and date.

The image here shows the kind of food story the page should communicate: recognisable local ingredients, generous villa dining and the chef’s hand in the experience.

What the written option should make clear.

This is where a useful concierge page can be better than a vague promise to arrange everything.

Start the chef conversation.

Share the villa or destination, dates, group, meal and any dietary needs. A specialist will check the right option around the stay.

One dinner or several meals?

You can start with an idea rather than a finished menu. Bnbstay will help confirm what is possible and what the written option includes.

Nothing is reserved until you receive and accept a confirmed option.

Private chef questions.

Is a private chef available at every villa?

No. Availability would need to be checked for the specific villa, destination, date and group.

Can I ask for one dinner rather than the full stay?

Yes, you can ask about one meal, selected meals or wider support. What can be arranged still needs confirmation.

Are ingredients and drinks included?

That can vary. The written option should state whether groceries, ingredients and drinks are included or charged separately.

Can menus be adapted for children or dietary needs?

Share every requirement at the start. A provider must confirm what can be accommodated before you rely on it.

How are food allergies handled?

Allergy information should be treated as a specific safety requirement and passed to the proposed provider for explicit confirmation. The website should never assume it can be met.

Does the chef use the villa kitchen?

The kitchen, access and equipment need checking for the chosen villa. Any additional equipment should be stated in the option.

Who serves, clears and cleans up?

Staffing and clean-up vary by arrangement. The confirmed scope should say exactly what is covered.

How far ahead should I ask?

Ask as early as you can, especially for larger groups, celebrations or peak dates. Bnbstay should not promise a universal lead time without live supplier evidence.

Who do I pay and what cancellation terms apply?

The proposal should identify the payment and contracting route, deposit and cancellation terms before you agree.

What happens if no suitable chef is available?

A specialist should explain that clearly and, where possible, discuss a genuinely available alternative without presenting it as equivalent by default.
