Maria provided private chef services for me and my family (3 adults and 3 kids) during our vacation in Sami, Kefalonia, Greece. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and love for her work made our vacation memorable. She literally took care of everything; from start to finish!

It was very easy to book Maria before we arrived on holiday. Her communication was quick and clear. The food she cooked for us was amazing and she even made a change to the menu on the day for our daughter.
I would definitely recommend Maria if you are looking for a private chef.
