Personal chef at your villa

A private chef arrives at your Tenerife villa or yacht, cooks a three-course dinner, serves it, and takes care of the cleanup. That lets you enjoy your own setting instead of arranging a restaurant booking for a birthday, family meal, or evening with friends.

I like the menu flexibility, especially since Chef Roberto Medda has accommodated gluten-free diners. I also like the full-service approach: one strong review specifically praises Roberto’s food, friendly manner, service, setup, and cleanup.

The main consideration is the price, $118.63 per person, which is more than a casual restaurant meal. You are paying for the private setting and the chef’s time, so this makes the most sense for a celebration or group meal rather than a quick dinner.

Key details before you book

• Chef Roberto Medda cooks at your own villa or yacht, so your group does not need to travel to a restaurant.
• A three-course menu includes garlic prawns, varied paellas, and cheesecake, with changes possible for your group’s tastes and needs.
• The experience lasts about three hours, giving the meal enough time to feel like an occasion rather than a rushed service.
• Only your group participates, a useful feature for families, friends, and private celebrations.
• Gluten-free needs can be accommodated, based on the service provided to a previous diner.
• Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time, but late cancellations are not refunded.

Dinner comes to you in Costa Adeje

This experience flips the usual holiday dinner plan. Instead of dressing up, finding transport, waiting for a table, and keeping children or tired companions entertained in a restaurant, you stay at your villa or yacht while the chef works around your group.

The stated start point is Costa Adeje in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and the activity ends back at the meeting point. Since the meal takes place at your accommodation or yacht, confirm the exact arrival details and address when booking. The practical advantage is clear: your group can settle in once and stay put.

You receive a private activity for your own group, not a shared table with strangers. That matters for a birthday, anniversary, family gathering, or meal with friends who want to talk without a restaurant crowd around them.

The service is offered in English, and confirmation arrives at the time of booking. The activity is also listed near public transportation, though the important transport question here is likely not how you reach a restaurant, but how the chef reaches the place where you are staying.

What the three-hour meal looks like

The meal is planned as a three-course dinner. The sample menu begins with garlic prawns, moves to varied paellas, and finishes with cheesecake.

That menu gives you a clear taste of Spanish holiday dining without turning the evening into a formal tasting event. Garlic prawns make a familiar, easy-opening starter. Paella gives the main course a shared, celebratory feel, especially for a family or group meal. Cheesecake provides a straightforward finish that should suit a range of tastes.

The word varied is useful here. It suggests that the paella course may be adapted rather than locked to one version, though you should discuss the exact choices and any dietary needs before the meal. The menu can be tailored to the needs and tastes of your group, but the available information does not specify every possible dish or substitution.

Plan on about three hours from start to finish. That time includes more than eating. A private chef needs to prepare and serve the courses, and the meal is meant to function as an evening event, not a takeaway dinner dropped at the door.

Garlic prawns, paella, and cheesecake

Garlic prawns are a sensible first course for a group because they feel special without being too heavy. If someone in your party does not eat prawns or seafood, raise that issue before booking and ask what alternative can be prepared.

The main course is varied paellas, the most distinctly Spanish part of the sample menu. Paella also works well for a group because the dish has a shared-table quality. It can turn the main course into the visual focus of the meal rather than just another plate arriving one person at a time.

The dessert is tarta de queso, or cheesecake. It appears twice in the supplied menu details, which confirms it as the planned dessert rather than a passing example. Still, the menu is described as adaptable, so ask in advance if your group wants another dessert or needs an ingredient avoided.

Do not treat the sample menu as a complete promise of every detail. It tells you the expected style of the meal, while the service also allows menu changes. Your best move is to provide the chef with allergies, dislikes, dietary rules, and preferences before the dinner date.

The value of having a chef and cleanup included

At $118.63 per person, this is not the budget choice for dinner in Tenerife. A simple restaurant meal will usually cost less, and this experience is not aimed at someone who only wants food at the lowest possible price.

The value comes from combining food, service, and privacy. You do not have to secure a restaurant reservation, organize the group’s transport, manage a table in an unfamiliar place, or wash dishes afterward. For a group celebrating something, those savings in effort can matter as much as the meal itself.

The strongest practical detail is the cleanup. Chef Roberto Medda is praised for setting up and cleaning up everything, which means the host is not left with a kitchen full of pans and plates after the final course. If you have rented a villa for a family holiday, this can be a major benefit.

The price also needs to be judged by group size. For two people, the total cost may feel high because the private service is spread across only two diners. For a larger group, the cost may feel more reasonable, since one booking creates a shared evening and removes the need to coordinate several restaurant tables.

A private setting for celebrations and family meals

This service is best suited to a group that wants dinner to be the evening’s main plan. A birthday meal, anniversary, family gathering, or dinner with friends fits the format well.

You can relax in your own villa or yacht while the meal is prepared. That setting gives you more control than a restaurant. Your group can focus on conversation, and you do not have to worry about leaving when the table is needed for the next booking.

Families may find the private format easier than a restaurant, though no specific child menu or child-care arrangement is provided. You should also remember that the meal is about three hours, so it suits a group ready to sit down for a proper dinner.

This is not a sightseeing tour. You will not be visiting several parts of Tenerife or receiving a guided introduction to the island. The appeal is local service brought to your accommodation, with the food and company taking center stage.

Chef Roberto Medda and the service style

Chef Roberto Medda is the named provider for the experience. The available details point to a hands-on service rather than a simple delivery: he prepares the food, sets up the meal, serves it, and handles cleanup.

One particularly useful detail is his ability to accommodate gluten-free dining. That does not mean every allergy or dietary rule is automatically covered. If you need gluten-free food, mention it clearly when arranging the meal, and do the same for seafood allergies, vegetarian preferences, or other restrictions.

The feedback attached to this experience gives Roberto high marks for food, personal manner, and service. It also records a perfect five-star rating from 40 reviews and a 100 percent recommendation rate. Those figures suggest a strong record, while the gluten-free example gives you something more practical than a general rating.

Still, a rating cannot tell you exactly what menu you will receive. Food preferences vary, and the final meal depends on the choices agreed with the chef. Use the booking conversation to settle the menu rather than assuming the sample dishes are the only options.

Who should book this private dinner

I would point this experience toward:

• A family group staying in a Tenerife villa
• Friends planning a private celebration
• Couples marking a special occasion in a villa or yacht
• Hosts who want a dinner without cooking or cleaning
• Diners who need a menu adjusted for specific tastes
• Groups that prefer an English-language service

I would hesitate if you are looking for a low-cost meal, a quick two-hour dinner, or a food tour around Tenerife. The price is easier to justify when the private setting and the service matter to you.

You should also consider the food preferences of the whole group. Garlic prawns and paella form the sample menu, so anyone who dislikes seafood or rice-based dishes should speak up before the booking is finalized. The menu is flexible, but the exact alternatives are not listed.

Booking details that matter

The activity is confirmed at the time of booking, and a mobile ticket is provided. It is offered in English, and most people can participate.

The meeting point is Costa Adeje, with the activity ending back at that point. Because the dinner takes place at your villa or yacht, check how the provider defines the meeting point for your particular reservation. The listing does not provide a separate hotel pickup promise, so do not assume transport is included.

Free cancellation applies if you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience starts. Cancellations made less than 24 hours ahead are not refunded, and changes inside that same 24-hour window are not accepted. The cut-off follows Tenerife local time, so keep that in mind if you are booking from another country.

The activity is private, but the supplied information does not give a maximum group size. If you have a large party, ask how many people the chef can serve and whether the kitchen at your villa or yacht is suitable for the menu.

My take on the overall experience

The strongest part of this dinner is its ease. You book the chef, agree on a menu, and let your group enjoy the setting you have already paid for. Roberto Medda’s food, friendly service, setup, and cleanup give the experience a useful level of polish without requiring a formal restaurant night.

The sample dinner also feels well chosen for a celebration. Garlic prawns, paella, and cheesecake are recognizable dishes with a Spanish feel, and the private format gives the main course a shared occasion atmosphere.

The trade-off is cost. At $118.63 per person, you need to value convenience and private service, not just the food on the plate. The three-hour duration reinforces that this is a planned dinner event, so it may be too much for someone who simply wants to eat and move on.

Should you book Chef Roberto Medda?

Book this private chef experience if you are staying in Costa Adeje with a group and want a special dinner without restaurant hassle. It is especially appealing for celebrations, family gatherings, and anyone who would rather enjoy the evening than cook and clean.

Before paying, send the chef your dietary needs and ask about the exact paella choices and any menu substitutions. If the private setting, English-language service, and full cleanup are worth the added cost, this is a practical way to make one Tenerife evening feel distinct. If price is your main concern, choose a restaurant instead.
