In addition to the above, the A&K Villas team is able to tailor-make a wide choice of food orientated tours, such as a guided trip to the local market, a visit to a chocolate factory or gelateria, truffle hunting or maybe olive oil tasting on an estate. Privately arranged cookery classes can be organised for the beginner or the accomplished cook according to ability. Cookery classes also can be an excellent way of keeping children entertained for an afternoon. If you like the idea of the independence a holiday villa can offer but are daunted by cooking every night, then we can arrange for a private chef, or cook, to come to your villa. Children are, of course, catered for as well as those with special dietary requirements. With a selection of our luxury villas actually producing their own wine on the estate you’ll be hard pushed to avoid sampling a bottle or two! In addition to the above breaks, your Abercrombie & Kent Villa Consultant can help you organise tailor made wine tours of the local estates, with tastings - why not book a chauffeur for the day? Or, if you prefer a more relaxed approach, why not book your own private sommelier for the evening to come to your villa to learn all about the local varieties of wines on offer. Detailed below are just a selection of our villas that are wonderfully located to take full advantage of local vineyards and delicacies:
