"Simply wonderful. Highly recommend"

We had Daniela cook for a group of 12 for a whole week and it made our holiday. Amazing dishes every night. Nothing disappointed. She catered for pescatarian and allergy super well. Everything was fresh, homemade and delicious. We had masses of food and enough for leftovers for lunch the following day. Finding a beautifully laid table each evening and being served by Daniel’s and her friendly daughter was such a treat and then no cleaning up afterwards ! Highly recommend Daniela. Incredible value too. Don’t know how she did it on such an economical shopping bill each day.

"5 stars is not enough!"

Daniela and her colleauge Simona cooked for us for a week for our family holiday at the end of July 2023. We can't overstate how much we enjoyed the food, and how top-notch her service is — a wonderful variety of dishses, different every night, and created with local ingredients. There was also plenty left over each night for lunch the next day, which was a real bonus. Daniela is super friendly (and speaks excellent English) and super reliable. Not having to do any shopping, meal planning, cooking or cleaning up (!) really made our holiday special.

"Daniela and her team where fantastic"

Daniela and her team where fantastic. We used them for 2 weeks in a large house in the Umbrian hills, for numbers of 4-8 adults and 4-7 kids. Communication was easy and prompt. She totally understood what we were askig for (local, fresh, healthy cuisine - at the correct proportions).

Her team were v smart - and had a good aura about them.

Then lastly, post meals the clearing away, extra food in tupperware, cleaning the kitchen etc were professional touches.

I can strongly recommend Daniela and her team.

"Daniela and her team were delightful"

Daniela and her team were delightful. They always arrived with the shopping in plenty of time, were very patient if we were a little late for dinner, cooked delicious meals and left the kitchen in a sparkling condition. I couldn’t recommend them more.

"Birthday Dinner with Daniela"

We had a wonderful evening with Daniela, it was delicious and fantastic! Best decision ever!

"Remarkable in- home chef in Umbria"

Daniela and her assistant cooked for us at our rental villa nightly for a week and made us sooo happy! We were 7 adults and 6 small children. Her communication before our arrival was perfect (and very prompt despite the 7 hour time difference) so that we had our menu set before arrival. She and her assistant then purchased the necessary groceries and her sommelier paired aperitif and wines for each meal. They then prepared, served and cleaned up. They were such lovely people to visit with, but also unobtrusive. They were flexible with our menu, but we were always consulted. She even gifted us a huge black truffle on the first day of truffle season and altered some dishes to accommodate it! Heaven!!

We all agreed that there can’t be a more perfect experience than having a wonderful chef in your own “home” with family and great wine while overlooking the hills of bella Umbria, and no one better to provide this than dear Daniela.

"An unforgettable experience!"

Daniela made our stay in Umbria truly special! She arranged for a winery visit, led us through a cooking class, and hosted two gourmet meals. Daniela is very knowledgeable with food and wine, and is very professional. She was a pleasure to have around and made our stay unforgettable! We can’t wait to come back for more!

"Elegance and blissful cuisine…"

We could not have been more pleased with Daniela and Your Holidays in Umbria. Every step of the way she exceeded our expectations — from her communications, kindness, congeniality, professionalism, and expertness as a chef and host. By the second night we wanted to ask her to sit down with us during the meal because she offered such valuable insights into the food and culture and elegance of Umbria… and she was fun to be with. We looked forward each evening to sitting around the kitchen while she prepared the meal. The food was delicious, and like the region of Umbria the simplicity and charm and goodness of her work and dedication and interest in making certain we had a wonderful holiday we’re always evident. Daniela is a treasure of Italy and the Umbria region.

"Spectacular Culinary Experience"

We spent 2 weeks in Umbria and Daniela cooked for us 8 nights during our stay. The meals were fantastic! Daniela is an amazing chef. Everything she prepared was delicious and her prices are very reasonable. She shared her recipes and expertise with us as we wanted to know how she prepared such delicious food. We felt like we were eating at a 5-Star restaurant each night! We even had a pizza cooking class which was so much fun! I highly recommend using Daniela and her team of amazing chefs if you are in the area. She prepares absolutely amazing Italian Cuisine and is such a delightful person! We will definitely be using Daniela, again, on our next trip to Umbria!

"Amazing Umbrian chef"

We stayed in a villa in Umbria for two weeks. During that time Daniela and her assistant cooked 8 dinners for us. Each of them were fantastic. We experienced a great variety of Italian dishes, all cooked to perfection, and with fresh ingredients. Even better, Daneila is a delightful person, who is very friendly and engaging — she shared some of her cooking “secrets” with us. We all agreed the highlight of our trip was watching Daniela cook while sipping wine, and then feasting on her delicious food. I highly recommend her if you visit Umbria.
