What to expect from your private chef experience
What sets a private chef in Settimo Vittone apart is the deeply personal nature of every detail. Your experience begins when your chef arrives at your accommodation with the day's finest ingredients from Piedmont's local markets and producers. After a welcome drink and a chat about your preferences, the magic starts. Imagine Langhe hilltop estates with vineyard views, historic Torinese palazzi, lakeside villas on Maggiore and Orta, candlelit cellars in wine country — while your chef prepares a bespoke multi-course menu. You might start with a light appetizer, move through handmade pasta like fritto misto alla piemontese, enjoy a main such as panna cotta, and finish with vitello tonnato. Each course is paired with wines like Barolo or Barbera d'Asti. Your chef handles everything: cooking, plating, serving, and a spotless kitchen at the end. Guests in Settimo Vittone consistently tell us this was the highlight of their entire Italian holiday. In Settimo Vittone, we often arrange the table outside so you can dine under the stars — ask your chef about the best setup for your accommodation.
