The peninsula between Villefranche and Beaulieu is one of the quietest addresses on the coast: grand villas behind their gardens, and one of the deepest anchorages of the Riviera in the bay. A private chef keeps that privacy at the table — no restaurant, no exposure, the evening stays inside the gates.
For a dinner or a whole stay, I plan around the house and its guests, work alongside your staff, shop the markets of Nice in the morning and leave the kitchen spotless each night.

Local, in season
Produce comes from the markets of Nice, fifteen minutes away, and fish from the fishermen of the little ports of Villefranche and Saint-Jean. Wines from Bellet and Provence pair naturally, or a vintage from your own cellar.
You deal with Mathias directly — one conversation, and the menu, the market and the service are quietly taken care of.
