Four days of eating and drinking the way it is done here. A wine estate on Friday, a lunch you would never have walked into yourself on Saturday, and on Sunday the paella over the fire. You sleep in a family villa with a pool, five minutes from everything.
Available to request for dates from 1 April 2027.
What it is
Four days, put together to suit you. The programme above is the example, not the rule — I build it the way you want it.
Who it is for
Eight to ten people: exactly one villa. One weekend a month, outside high season: in July and August the villas are let and it is too hot to cook outside.
What it costs
Guide price €1,000 per person, flights not included. That covers three nights in a family villa, the transfers, the tasting, Saturday's lunch, Friday's dinner and Sunday's paella. You book your own flight. You receive a tailored proposal and an invoice from me; payment after approval.
The example programme
- Friday I collect you from Alicante airport. One stop on the way to the villa: a tasting at an organic wine estate in the hills inland. Arrive, settle in. In the evening I cook at the villa — simple, fresh, from the market.
- Saturday Lunch at the little restaurant you would never expect: no sign on the door, no menu outside. The evening is free, or a light table outside at the villa.
- Sunday Paella in the garden, over the fire, the way it should be. The afternoon is yours: sea, village, siesta.
- Monday Back to the airport.
The addresses
Three places I take you to. You hear their names from me.
The wine estate
An organic estate in the hills behind Moraira, among the old riuraus where the raisins used to dry. Their Moscatel is dry — and surprises everybody. Thirteen minutes in the car and you are in a different Spain.
The café you would never expect
A plain old bar on an ordinary street in Moraira. No sign, no menu by the door. In the Netherlands this cook would have had a star. Here he just stands behind the bar.
The table in the valley
An old finca in the Jalón valley, chandeliers above white tables, vineyards running all the way to the mountains. The finest place for a long lunch that I know.
You get the names from me. That is half the pleasure.
Staying in Moraira
Two family villas, through Stay in Moraira: Casa Amandine (five bedrooms, five minutes from Calpe) and Casa La Viña (four bedrooms, up on the hill with a view over the valley). Both with a pool and an outdoor table that is big enough.
