Pricing is per person/per meal.

Email or just text me with a few details about your retreat:

• dates
• number of people
• intention of the retreat
• diet
• special requests diet
• number of meals

After that, I’ll send you my options, and we’ll create the best deal, crafted specially for your guests.

If you don’t have a clear idea about what you need to offer to your guests, I’ll help you to find the perfect flow.

Very simple! I’m super flexible, and with all my experience with hosting, I fully understand the concept of “guests come first, and all I want is everyone feeling happy and nourished”, so I’ll follow your retreat rhythm and try my best to reach all your requests.

But hey, I’m human and even for me, there are certain limits. I prioritise my resting time and my system. My prices reflect my standards, and it is totally ok if you need some adjustments, but don’t forget that at the end, this is my job. There will be hours I won’t be available during the retreat because I’ll be taking care of myself and making sure I’m fully present for the next meal with your guests.

All the cooking preparations, planning and onsite work. All the after-meal cleaning is also included and of course, a good energy in the kitchen!

Accommodation is not included in the price. But there are exceptions:

• if your retreat place is within a 30min distance of my house, you don’t have to worry about;
• if your service request is only for one day or one single meal, I’ll sleep at my own bed that day.

Travel fee is also not included for retreats out of Portugal or with a distance +50km from Lagos, Faro:

• a fee of 0,5€ per kilometre every time I need to drive to your retreat place;

A chef assistant is not included in the service fees and it is mandatory for groups bigger than 14 people – 80€/day and accommodation might be needed.

My food is simple, elegant and delicious! I love colors and to follow the seasons’ ingredients, colors and textures. Either your retreat is a fully buffet service, family style or plated, I’ll be always super careful with flavors and presentation will follow the same standards to detail!

If you’re looking for instagrammable food that tastes as good as it looks, you’re talking with the right person!

I love plant based food and truly believe that we can find everything in the plants. However, I’m a Portuguese from the North living in the Algarve so… I love meat and fish as much as a plate full of greens!

After so many years cooking for so many different retreats, I’ll cook naturally gluten-free and vegan option for everyone.

But I’ll ask you exactly about the food restrictions of your group and everyone will have the same number of elements each meal. Everyone is welcome in the kitchen, even if they need to eat something different.

Well, ask for them!

From my side, I’ll always try to reach your retreat goals. It will be possible sometimes and not possible some other times. Just make sure you ask for all the special requests before the retreat start and be aware some extra fees will be charge.

You can reschedule my retreat chef service once for free after you pay the deposit money. We will adjust everything you need to make it happen in the new dates.

I believe you won’t need to cancel. Your retreat will be a success! But just in case:

• cancellations with more than 60 days are fully refundable;
• cancellations between 60 and 30 days before the event is 80% refundable;
• cancellations in less than 30 days are not refundable, but you can always reschedule.

But of course I do!

After all, the first impressions and as soon as you’re sure you want to work with me all the serious payment scene starts:

• deposit payment to block your retreat on my agenda;
• 30% payment in the 30 days before the retreat;
• one last payment up to 3 days before the end of your retreat.

MbWay, bank transfer, PayPal and Revolut.

Cash is ok for the last payment.

I don’t like to call it a discount, it’s more like a gift that at the end, will make you save some money.

• for groups with more than 12 people, I’ll offer all the food for two facilitators

As soon as I send you the proposal for your retreat, I’ll send you a general sample of the menu but around two weeks before your arrival you’ll receive a full menu sample so we can do all the adjustments you need on the menu.

Every last minute cancelation is non-refundable.
