Private Chef in Tuscany
Jo Acevedo
Meet the Chef
Jo is originally from Peru. He grew up in a culture where food is something really meaningful: not just eating, but connecting with family and honoring traditions. He trained in professional kitchens there and later spent time working in Spain before moving to Tuscany.
Now he brings together what he learned from his Peruvian background with Italian cooking, using fresh and in-season ingredients. He comes to your villa and cooks for you and your guests, taking care of everything so you can just relax and enjoy.
Culinary Experiences
Private Chef Experience
Jo comes to your villa and prepares a meal for you on site. He will talk with you beforehand about what you like to eat, plan a menu that works for you, then arrive and handle all the cooking, serving and cleaning afterwards. You don't have to do anything, just enjoy the evening with your friends.
He uses seasonal ingredients and adjusts everything to your preferences. It's personal and relaxed, designed to make your time in Tuscany feel special.
Wedding or Event Catering
If you're planning a wedding, anniversary, or celebration at your villa, Jo can handle the catering. He'll design a menu that fits the occasion and your vision, whether it's an intimate or a larger gathering.
He takes care of the food from start to finish, so you can focus on enjoying your event with your guests.
Cooking Classes
Jo also offers cooking classes at your villa. They're hands-on and relaxed—you'll work together to prepare dishes while he teaches you techniques and shares stories about the food.
It's for anyone who enjoys cooking, whether you're experienced or just getting started. The classes are a fun way to spend time with friends while learning something new that you can take home with you.
