Gourmet breaks at Villa d' Alzine

Villa d' Alzine Gourmet packages are available from October to May each year. The villa accommodates up to 8 people in superb accommodation. You can book as individual couples or as full parties. Our gourmet experience is ideal for groups of friends who love food, or business teams that need to 'gel' together.


A weekend at Villa d'Alzine is a good way to celebrate a special occasion such as birthday, wedding anniversary, Valentine's Day or pre-Christmas warm-up or even Burn's Night or Chinese New Year!

Prices start from €995/£800 per person for a Gourmet Weekend on a full board basis.

Here's what some of our recent guests have said about Villa d'Alzine:-

'Joy and Paul offer hospitality - but not resentfully and certainly not because it's required. Their life seems to be about fullness and generosity, but this is coupled with an earthy spirit and no nonsense attitude.....There is something of a fairytale about such magical food, and the spell cast by the latest meal sends me filled to the brim, straight to the sofa and into a happy sleep that could last a hundred years.'

Rob Castell, Guardian Young Travel Writer of the year, 2006

'Retirement offers passionate foodies the time to learn how to cook for oneself. Joy combines in abundance culinary skills as good as that of the top chefs with exceptional teaching ability, enthusing the amateur cook and exciting the nervous beginner. By the last day at the villa, the most urgent decision was when can we come again, and a weekend before Christmas would be a most exciting time.'

Anthony Pickavance, guest

'It is like one big party when you attend Joy's classes. You not only learn a great deal from her extensive knowledge and skills, you get to eat her brilliant food too! She is a fabulous cook with a wonderful personality. Better than anything I have seen on television. In partnership with her husband Paul they give new meaning to the term "all inclusive" and are in my best ever holiday list of destinations to treasure. '

Carla Delaney, consumer journalist

'Hospitality at its very best,'

Mike Agate, Company Director
