Enjoy the services of a cook for total relaxation…
A local cook can be provided at the majority of our villas, giving everyone the opportunity to really relax whilst away. This increasingly popular service is available for given meals, or for multiple meals during the course of your holiday, and can work out extremely cost effective over restaurant prices.
It is possible to request the services of a cook and you will need to do so well in advance to avoid disappointment. Local cooks are rarely trained to professional standards, and can range from the villa maid doubling up, to good local cooks. Cooking usually consists of simple traditional food, either prepared in the villa or brought from home. Usually they will prepare one main meal a day, and either stay and assist with laying out/clearing up, or leave it depending on time and family commitments, charging the appropriate hourly rate. If maids are also doubling up as cooks, a few will stay to wash up and serve meals. Full details will be provided on booking. In some areas a catering delivery service of prepared meals is available, and is ideal for those who wish to entertain a few times during their holiday. Early reservations are essential, with all arrangements and charges being handled locally. Please ask for further details.
Note: Once booked, it is not possible to cancel the services of the cook, who may have turned down alternative employment. However, local cooks can also be unreliable or become ill, and as CV Travel offers contact with the cooks purely as a service to our clients we cannot accept responsibility if a cook becomes unavailable or is considered unsuitable. If a booking is conditional upon a cook being provided, clients should make their own arrangements, to include travel, accommodation and transport.
