Private Chef

Private dining in the villa or home where you are staying — from one dinner to full catering across your Algarve stay.

Basil brings the restaurant experience to your own table without trying to turn your villa into a restaurant. We cook in the kitchen where you are staying and leave it clean afterwards.

6+ standard · Smaller groups: €600 minimum fee · Multi-day stays

Retreat catering

Retreat groups have their own page: full-day menus planned with the organiser, with vegetarian, vegan and special diets built in.
