Private Chefs for Luxury Villas and Chalets
Enjoy every moment of your stay. I help you find an experienced private chef whose culinary expertise and approach suit your villa, mountain chalet and personal preferences.
Bespoke cuisine, discreet hospitality and the option of a dedicated private waiter or maître d’hôtel: a carefully tailored service for holidays, family stays and private entertaining.
An Exceptional Dining Experience in Your Private Residence
Whether you are staying in a luxury villa on the French Riviera or a chalet in the French Alps, a private chef allows you to enjoy beautiful meals without having to organise the cooking yourself.
Drawing on my experience as a gastronomic private chef since 2018, I help select culinary professionals suited to your residence, expectations and preferred style of service.
Experienced Private Chefs
Personal selection and introductions to chefs whose cooking style, experience and availability match your stay.
Private Waiters on Request
Where required, a waiter or maître d’hôtel can be arranged for table service and private entertaining, subject to availability.
Discretion and Flexibility
Respect for your privacy, individual dietary preferences and the daily rhythm of your family and guests.
A Private Chef for Your Villa or Mountain Chalet
Every property and every stay is different. I help identify a chef whose experience suits your destination, the length of your visit and the dining experience you have in mind.
Private Chefs for Luxury Villas
From a summer holiday by the sea to a family celebration or an intimate dinner at your villa, enjoy seasonal ingredients, personalised menus and refined cuisine in the comfort of your residence.
A chef may be selected for a single occasion, several days or your entire stay, depending on availability.
Example destinations: Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Antibes and the French Riviera.
Private Chefs for Luxury Chalets
After a day on the slopes, return to the comfort of your chalet and enjoy a beautifully prepared dinner, seasonal mountain-inspired cuisine or relaxed family meals.
The chef can adapt the service to your ski holiday, preferred mealtimes and the kitchen facilities available on site.
Example destinations: Courchevel, Megève, Méribel and the French Alps.
Carefully Selected Chefs and Hospitality Professionals
Every enquiry is considered individually. I identify chefs and, where needed, experienced service professionals to help create a seamless dining experience in your villa or chalet.
The selected chef carries out the culinary service directly. Depending on the agreed assignment, this may include daily meals, personalised menus or private dinners throughout your stay.
- Private chefs for a day, a holiday or an extended assignment
- Menus adapted to personal tastes, declared allergies and dietary requirements
- Optional table service with a waiter or maître d’hôtel
- Practical arrangements tailored to the property’s kitchen and facilities
- Assignments in France and abroad, subject to availability
How Does Private Chef Placement Work?
I remain your initial point of contact, taking time to understand your requirements and introduce you to a suitable culinary professional.
Your Requirements
Share your destination, dates, number of guests, preferred service and any dietary requirements or allergies.
Chef Selection
I look for an available chef whose experience, culinary approach and skills fit your request, together with service staff if needed.
Personal Introduction
I introduce you to the selected professional so that the scope of service, practical details and quotation can be agreed before confirmation.
A Personal Selection Informed by Fine-Dining Experience
My background in gastronomy and private dining has taught me what matters most in a private residence: culinary expertise, independence, attentive hospitality and respect for the client’s privacy.
For extended villa and chalet stays, I do not personally undertake the cooking assignment. My role is to identify and introduce an experienced chef who will provide the service directly.
Hiring a Private Chef for a Luxury Villa or Chalet
Can I hire a private chef for my entire holiday?
Yes, subject to availability. I can help source a chef for a few days, a week or a longer stay. Working hours and meal arrangements are agreed with the selected professional.
Can you find a private chef in Courchevel or Megève?
Enquiries for Courchevel, Megève and other French Alpine resorts can be considered. Availability depends on the season, chef profiles and the conditions of the assignment.
Can I book a private waiter as well as a chef?
Yes. A private waiter or maître d’hôtel may also be arranged for table service and receptions, depending on availability.
Can the chef prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner?
A multi-meal service can be considered. The number of meals, working hours and responsibilities are agreed with the chef before the assignment begins.
Does Michel Hélène personally cook in the villa or chalet?
Not for this villa and chalet placement service. My role is to select and introduce an experienced private chef who will carry out the assignment directly.
How much does a private chef for a luxury villa or chalet cost?
Pricing depends on location, length of stay, number of guests, meals required and any additional service staff. A tailored quotation can be discussed with the selected chef after an initial consultation.
