Author: Private Chef in Tenerife

Roberto Medda — Private Chef & Culinary Consultant With over three decades of international experience, I bring a refined blend of Sardinian heritage and Mediterranean creativity to exclusive villas, yachts, and private events around the world. My career began in London’s most prestigious corporate dining rooms. Those years shaped my signature style: impeccable service, discreet hospitality, and a deep respect for high-quality ingredients. After managing my own catering company in London for more than ten years, I expanded my work internationally, delivering bespoke culinary experiences across Europe, the Canary Islands, and the Mediterranean. Today, I specialize in private chef services for luxury villas, wellness retreats, and yacht charters, crafting menus that celebrate regional flavors with contemporary techniques. As co-founder and Managing Director of Holiday Homes Rent & Buy, I also developed a strong understanding of luxury travel, property, and lifestyle management—expertise that now enriches my work as a Personal Concierge and Private Chef. Whether preparing an intimate tasting menu, a Mediterranean buffet, a Sardinian cooking show, or a full-service multi-day experience, my focus remains constant: authentic cuisine, flawless service, and unforgettable moments. Worldwide availability for events, villas, and yachts.

Sardinian Personal Chef for Villas & Weekly Holiday Stays


I am a Sardinian personal chef with a chef assistant specializing in weekly holiday stays in private villas across Sardinia, with a strong focus on the Costa Smeralda and surrounding areas.
My service is designed for families, couples, and international guests who rent a villa for several days or weeks and wish to enjoy high-quality, authentic cuisine without the stress of planning, shopping, or cooking during their holiday.
This is not a one-night “event chef” service, but a tailored holiday chef experience, built around continuity, flexibility, and comfort.
Weekly Holiday Chef Service – How It Works
I usually work with guests staying one week or longer, offering a flexible arrangement that may include:
Several dinners during the week
Casual lunches or Mediterranean-style sharing meals
BBQ evenings and relaxed villa dining
Special celebration dinners during the stay
Menus are discussed in advance and adapted to:
dietary preferences
local seasonal products
the rhythm of your holiday
I take care of:
menu planning
grocery shopping
cooking and service
kitchen cleanup
Allowing you to enjoy your villa and your time together.
Cuisine Style
My cooking is rooted in Sardinian and Mediterranean traditions, with an emphasis on:
fresh local fish and seafood
quality meats and seasonal vegetables
homemade pasta, risottos, and traditional dishes
simple, elegant food cooked with respect for ingredients
The style is refined but relaxed — perfect for long stays, families, and guests who appreciate genuine cuisine rather than formal restaurant dining.
Why Choose a Sardinian Personal Chef for Your Villa Stay
Native knowledge of Sardinian products and traditions
Experience with international clients and long stays
Discreet, professional, and villa-oriented service
Ideal for families, groups, and repeat guests
Flexible weekly arrangements rather than single dinners
Many of my clients return year after year, valuing continuity, trust, and a personal approach during their holidays.
Areas Covered
Primarily based in Sardinia, I regularly work in:
Costa Smeralda
Porto Cervo and surrounding villas
North Sardinia and selected Mediterranean destinations
For weekly stays, I am happy to discuss travel and logistics in advance.
Enquiries & Availability
If you are planning a villa holiday in Sardinia and are looking for a personal chef for a weekly stay, feel free to get in touch with details of:
location of the villa
number of guests
length of stay
preferred dates
I personally handle all enquiries to ensure each booking is a good fit for both sides.
Simple food, cooked with respect.
A Sardinian holiday, at your table.
