About Chef Sabina Polidori

Città di Castello

Transform Your Holiday into a Magical Dining Experience ✨

​Are you spending your holidays in a beautiful villa around the Upper Tiber Valley (Alta Valle del Tevere) and want to host an unforgettable evening for your friends or family? Let me bring the magic directly to your table. ​I am a professional private cook and event stylist based in Città di Castello, with 32 years of experience in the culinary world, specializing in beautifully curated small buffets, brunches, and intimate dinners prepared directly in your holiday villa. ​

👩‍🍳 About Me & My Culinary Journey ​My cuisine is a heartfelt blend of my Italian roots and international expertise: ​Italian Family Heritage: Many of my dishes are inspired by traditional, secret family recipes passed down to me by my mother and grandmother. Authentic soul food! ​German & International Experience: I spent 3 crucial years working as a buffet chef in a 4-star hotel near Nuremberg, Germany. I understand exactly what Northern European guests love—from rich sauces and comforting soups to serving salads fresh and undressed so you can season them to your liking. (Ich verstehe ein bisschen Deutsch und kenne die Namen der Lebensmittel!) ​

🍳 How It Works (Customized & Stress-Free) ​To ensure maximum safety and compliance, we will create your custom menu together, and you will purchase the ingredients from your preferred local shops or supermarkets. This guarantees that all raw materials are 100% traceable, safe, and exactly to your taste. ​I will come directly to your villa, use your kitchen and cookware, and transform the ingredients into a spectacular meal. You only pay for my culinary and decoration expertise! ​

🌸 The Setup & Atmosphere (My Signature Style) ​My personal style is Country & Boho Chic. I love creating magical, candle-lit atmospheres. I provide: ​Curated tablecloths and unique decorations. ​Beautiful floral compositions using a mix of high-quality, reusable faux flowers, local greenery, and wild herbs (sustainable and eco-friendly). ​Flexible Tableware Options: I can provide high-quality, elegant recyclable paper plates and premium, sophisticated reusable plastic glasses. Alternatively, if your villa has beautiful porcelain, glassware, or cutlery you prefer to use—or if you wish to purchase fresh flowers—I am more than happy to style the table using your own items! ​

✨ Zero Stress: Total Cleanup Included! ​When the event is over, you won’t have to lift a finger. I will take care of everything: I will pack up all my decorative materials, clear the table, and deeply clean the kitchen. I promise to leave your kitchen exactly as clean and tidy as I found it, so you can just focus on enjoying the rest of your magical evening. ​

📍 Service Area: Based in Città di Castello, I happily serve the surrounding areas of the Upper Tiber Valley and the Umbria-Tuscany border, including: Sansepolcro, San Giustino, Anghiari, Umbertide, Monte Santa Maria Tiberina, Montone, and Citerna.
