What a private chef changes in Croatia

From Istria to Dalmatia, the Croatian coast is lived to the rhythm of the islands. Your villa becomes your finest table.

The islands, without the hunt for a table

Between two boat stops, there is no need to look for a free table in a crowded harbour. Dinner awaits you at the villa, served facing the Adriatic.

The best of Dalmatia

Adriatic fish, Ston oysters, Istrian truffles, olive oil and local wines: I cook Croatian produce with French techniques.

A stay at your own pace

Family, friends or couples: meals follow your plans, children have their own menus and the kitchen stays spotless.
