A personal private chef is ideal for cooking a relaxing delicious meal served in the tranquillity of Les Hirondelles.

Imagine having a personal private chef cooking a gourmet meal that you can enjoy together in the peacefulness of your vacation rental home. Simply sit back and relax as gourmet meals are skilfully prepared for you, using the freshest local ingredients. With a personal in-house chef, you can enjoy five star cuisine without ever having to leave the comfort of Les Hirondelles.

The focus is on fresh local ingredients and Dimitri who has worked at the property since 2010 tailors your menu around your favourite foods. Your Chef Dimitri prepares gourmet meals according to a pre-arranged plan and according to special dietary needs. Dimitri does everything – planning, shopping, cooking, and cleaning. He can also bring matching wines to your table!

Interested in a cooking class? They come at no extra cost when you join Dimitri preparing your dinner.

The chef’s services at Les Hirondelles come on top of the rental rate and are tailored to the group’s requirements and requests. Less time cooking means more time for exploring the beautiful countryside of the Dordogne!

“Of course, our stay at Les Hirondelles would not be complete without having private Chef Dimitri preparing and serving us a wonderful 4 course meal with paired wines on the patio. Always memorable.”

“The best meal we’ve ever had (and that’s including Michelin starred restaurants!) – my soufflé and scallop starter was delicious, and the apple tart dessert simply divine! Dimitri is a must.”

“We also booked Dimitri for a night on Linda’s recommendation – we were a little nervous at the idea of a private chef but Dimitri was lovely, and the food was the best either of us has ever eaten.”

“Another first we had here in France, is a French chef, that comes and cooks for you at the house. Dimitri is amazing and is a must!! He cooked for our entire family even the kids. The kids ate first, and then the adults had their own separate meal which was really special. It was a wonderful night sitting outside watching the sunset, and having one of the best meals of our lives!!”

“For our final evening, Linda connected us with a local chef, Dimitri, who prepared an unforgettable meal for vegetarians (Comte Soufflé), pescetarians (local whitefish, scallops) and carnivores alike (lamb, foie gras), capping things off with not one, but two desserts. He even does the dishes!”
