Private Chef Experiences

A private table.
Something memorable.

We believe the best meals come with a story. That's why we took the time to meet three chefs here in Guanacaste, get to know the people behind the food, and taste what makes each kitchen special. They cook in very different ways, but share something we love: good ingredients, generosity, and the pleasure of bringing people together around a table. Whether you're celebrating or simply enjoying an evening at your villa, we'll help you find the right chef for your occasion.

A PERSONAL SELECTION

Not a directory of chefs. Just three people whose cooking we wanted to share with you.

FIRE & COAST

Fire, coast & a story worth sharing.

For this chef, fire is more than a way to cook. It brings people together. After working in five-star hotel kitchens in Argentina and across South America, he brings that experience to Guanacaste, pairing glowing embers with the ingredients and traditions of Costa Rica. Imagine meat slowly cooking over the flames, fresh Pacific seafood, handmade tortillas and a table that invites everyone to stay a little longer.

  • Open-fire grilling, Argentine cuts and chimichurri
  • Fresh Pacific seafood and coastal flavors
  • Handmade tacos and Costa Rican favorites
  • Seasonal six-course tasting menus
  • A relaxed, generous evening built around sharing

ITALIAN TABLE & COOKING CLASSES

With 25 years of experience and several successful Italian restaurants behind her, our Italian chef knows that the best meals are about much more than what's on the plate.

  • Fresh pasta and Italian classics with a personal touch
  • Hands-on cooking classes for friends and families
