How kosher works at a private villa.

A private villa has one kitchen and one table — yours. That changes everything about keeping kosher on vacation: the food is planned around your group alone, and the kitchen is set to the standard you keep. Here's the short version of how it works.

From Hanna

The places you assumed were off-limits aren't.

For years, kosher travel meant choosing from the places that could feed you — the same hotels, the same programs. A villa works differently. Because every meal is made for your group alone, places that never appeared on that list open up: extraordinary houses, in extraordinary settings, with the kitchen set to the way you keep kosher.

You choose the place. Everything else is detail — and the details are settled before you arrive.

Houses like this were never on the kosher list. With a private kitchen and a private chef, they can be.

How kosher works at a villa — three arrangements, and one standard: yours.

Ready to cook

The kitchen
Kosher and ready when you arrive — kosher utensils in place.
Who cooks
You — or a chef of your own.
Supervision
Your own, your way.
What you do
Cook the way you cook at home.

Cooked for you

The kitchen
Made kosher before you arrive, and stocked for your menus.
Who cooks
The villa's own chef and staff.
Supervision
Arranged and guided for your stay.
What you do
Sit down. Dinner is served.

Kosher, always

The kitchen
A dedicated kosher kitchen, all year round.
Who cooks
The house's own kosher chef.
Supervision
Built into the house itself.
What you do
Arrive. It's already done.

Your own chef, cooking in the open air — dinner prepared in front of you, for your group alone.

Don't see your exact way here? That's what a concierge is for — tell me the standard you keep, and the arrangement is built around it.

Kosher from the start. Luxury in every detail.

And the setting is yours to choose — a terrace at sunset, a table on the sand, everyone around one long table.

Your standard, matched

Arrive already at ease.

However you keep kosher, you should never have to wonder whether a beautiful house can work for you. Tell me your standard once — in your own words — and the villa is shaped around it. You'll find it understood here, because this is a language I speak.

A mashgiach in the house for your whole stay, if you'd like one — or your own, warmly welcomed. A chef found for a house where you'd otherwise be cooking yourselves. The provisions, the supervision, the kitchen made ready — arranged quietly, before you ever see the place.

And nothing is left to chance: I confirm the exact arrangement with you personally before you pack.

All that's left for you is one phone call — and a vacation that begins the moment you walk in.

Where to turn

Ready when you are.

Tell me the standard you keep and the place you're dreaming of — it doesn't have to be on any list. One phone call, and the map gets bigger.
