The experience

Tapas & Paella, shaped around your villa.

This is one of our most recognisable experiences because it feels instantly connected to the place: small plates to share, local produce and a paella brought to the table when everyone is ready.

Choose seafood, chicken, vegetable paella, black rice or fideuá. We build the tapas around that centrepiece so the table feels varied, balanced and abundant without becoming complicated.

See the idea. Keep the freedom to change it.

The menu gives the experience a tangible beginning without asking you to make every decision before speaking to us.

Frequently asked

The important questions, answered clearly.

Which paellas can we choose?

Seafood, chicken, vegetable and black rice are common directions. Fideuá is also available, and the final choice is adapted to the guests and equipment.

Do you bring a paella burner?

We can confirm the required paellero and gas set-up once we know the guest number and villa. The kitchen remains essential for preparation and storage.

Can the tapas be vegetarian?

Yes. We can create a vegetable-led selection and adjust individual dishes for dietary requirements while keeping the table generous.

Is it suitable for an outdoor meal?

Yes, provided the villa has the right working and dining areas and a practical indoor plan in case the weather changes.

What is reviewed before every experience is confirmed?

For every single, multi-day or multi-week service, we require clear photos, video or an inspection of the working space, hob and oven capacity, refrigerators or walk-in fridges, freezers, dry storage, dishwasher, BBQ and dining areas. Because every dish is cooked in the villa—never in a satellite kitchen—these facilities determine the suitable menu and realistic guest capacity.

What does the included table setting provide?

We style the table using the villa’s own confirmed crockery, cutlery, glassware and linen. We bring our professional knives and a printed menu for every confirmed service, but not pots, pans, tableware or additional kitchen equipment. Required rentals can be arranged through trusted external suppliers with a separate quotation.
