Chef Services

Culinary experience has always been linked with the essence of well-being, and holidays are always more fun when combined with an excellent dietary proposal.

At Olive Villa rentals we consider Private Dining & Chef Services a very important part of the accommodation experience, and focus on providing high level services to our guests.
For this reason, we have upgraded our Private Dining Services by adding an experienced Head Chef to the Olive Villa Rentals team, and created a versatile chef brigade that can create all sets of menus and satisfy the most demanding requests.

Be it a simple breakfast service, a family full board menu or a demanding VIP dinner, we are always available to work together on delivering an exceptional service and add the exclamation mark to your holiday!

Meet our Head Chef, Laura

Welcome to the Olive Villa Rentals Gastronomy experience. My name is Laura Sargenti and I’m the Head Chef here at Olive Villa Rentals.

I adore good food and the history behind it, and I work by the simplicity principals using premium products. Guided by my experience, I want to invite you to a journey around Greece that will stimulate your 4 senses. That’s why I have chosen, trained and supervised a brigade of chefs and cooks in order to make your stay an unforgettable experience.  

My goal is to show you how rich Greek gastronomy is, and I have personally created menus based on nutrition, habits and taste.

Every day, you will have the privilege to see one of my brigade chefs producing and explaining to you all your meals, talking about the ingredients we use, their history, their nutrition value, and their power of healing your body & soul (and of course you will have the privilege to taste everything first, lucky you!).You can jump in the kitchen whenever you want and have a private lesson for free.

My goal is to show you how rich Greek gastronomy is, and I have personally created menus based on nutrition, habits and taste.

An example of a Greek gastronomy journey

For your breakfast my team will prepare “Tiganites” a puffy dough fried in virgin olive oil, served with honey and nuts. “Dako” a rusk with fresh juicy tomatoes, capers, sea fennel, feta cheese, fresh oregano and olive oil, Boiled wheat  in Greek herbs with raisins, honey and nuts(Instead of musli) and “Kagiana”: the Greek version of scrambled eggs, fried in olive oil with tomatoes, feta cheese and oregano.

For appetizers you must try “Vlita”(summer greens) or hoary mustard (spring greens) boiled in monk’s pepper(chaste tree), “Skordalia” (a Greek garlic hummus) and spinach pie.

For main dishes you have to try “Savoro” fish, a recipe that has travelled through the seas with the Greek sailors for ages,  stuffed vegetables with wheat, herbs and feta cheese, “Hilopites” (homemade pasta) with shrimps and wild saffron, Souvlaki (no need for explanation I think) with juicy sheep meat.

For dessert, “Karpuzopita”(watermelon pie with honey and sesame) or “Koufeto” (the wedding spoon sweet), yellow pumpkin, honey and almonds and many more.

Every day we use salt that is collected by hand from the rocks (fleur de sel), extra virgin olive oil, fruits and vegetables from organic farms and other ingredients from small producers all around Greece.

Let’s choose the menu together

Book your villa and let’s choose together one of the menus I created, or let’s create one together based on your needs:

I will be by your side every step of the way, to customise our menus based on your specific needs.
