What exactly does Villazzo’s Kosher food preparation entail?“Well, when a ‘Kosher’ experience is requested, we work meticulously to accommodate our community when and where appropriate, from A to Z, really. We certify that the foods are Kosher – properly prepared in accordance with the Jewish dietary laws. Even our champagne aces the test. The origins, significance and principals associated with “kashruth” – Jewish dietary laws – are complex. Our special behind-the-scenes preparations are rather extensive but it all happens in a convenient and timely manner.
As per enduring traditions, any contact between meat and dairy products is avoided at all cost, and the food is invariably treated according to specific laws. Should any meat be served, it is procured with a minimum of pain to the animal, for example. And, the food served will never contain those ingredients considered to be inherently unsuitable or unorthodox, like pork or shellfish.” |
||
Are the food and kitchen inspected by a rabbi?“Our Kosher Villas food suppliers are the best. Actually, quality control begins before the food is even introduced into the equation, with our selection of the villa and its amenities. Because meat and dairy are never to touch, the villa comes equipped with two refrigerators, two kitchen sinks, two dish washers, and all of the appropriate dishware, glassware, silver, etc. Before our guests arrive, a rabbi pays the villa a special visit to say his prayers and give everything his final blessing.
The inspecting rabbi examines not only the instruments and appliances used to prepare the meals but also the process by which our food is made and served. Our aim is to ensure adequate supervision of purity, quality and overall compliance by our Kosher sources, suppliers and appointed staff.” |

What about the staff? Who prepares and serves the food?
“The experience does not only adhere to Kosher customs, it is tailored to personal preferences and persuasions. In fact, you may request a male or female chef and/or butler. If there are women guests present at your villa, and everyone would feel more comfortable with a female butler, for instance, we would make certain that this is the case. That way the wives and moms can enjoy the pool and relax.” |

Anything else you would like your guests to know?Yes, you don’t have to be Jewish to request Kosher! It can be enjoyed be everyone!
Also, I would like larger families to know that we can help with transportation to and from the airport, if need be. This part of the trip can get a bit complicated for some and I encourage it. Our team is here to help in every way we can. I want our guests to be absolutely happy with every aspect of their stay. Fortunately, Mr. Siauvaud and his Villazzo team are readily available to you for any further questions or special needs you may have. So, don’t hesitate to reach out and toast to life with them! L’chaim! |

Discover a world of culinary options with Villazzo
Monday, August 17th, 2015
Sit back, relax and let us do the work for you. When you rent one of Villazzo’s exclusive luxury villas in Miami, Aspen or St Tropez, we convert it into a 5-star hotel mansion to the finest detail, including the most extravagant in-house dining experiences you can dream of. Villazzo can customize your personal epicurean journey with a “Restaurant at Home” service to cater the most sumptuous breakfast/brunch, lunch, and dinner menus.
Service options at your home luxury rental include our “a la carte” service, which offers our guests a full team to use for specific occasions, such as a private dinner party or an unexpected business luncheon. If you prefer for your luxury vacation to be an everyday culinary indulgence, booking a 5-star service level will allow to have your kitchen eight hours a day led by your own full-time professional private chef, who can produce an array of signature dishes – gastronome’s delights incorporating only the best-cut meats, fresh ingredients and seasonal produce.
If your choice of vacation destination during this month of August and September is Miami, you could skip the popular Miami Spice promotion and luxuriate instead in your own private three-course meal . Villazzo Chef Jason’s personal table is a globally inspired cuisine that will wow you every time with the most sophisticated and intricate dishes. Among current starters is the delicate Florida baby heirloom tomato salad with olive oil pan fried croutons, baby burrata cheese shallots, Brazil pepper chimichurri and minis 8 sherry vinegar. For a main course, delight your senses with entrees such as the fragrant pan seared Hudson valley duck breast with confit fingerling potatoes and broccolini, and a honey ginger gastric. A refined dessert of macha green tea soufflé with lemongrass cream anglaise is also a highlight of this Chef’s original fare.
With Villazzo’s “Restaurant at Home” you will wine and dine the best of Miami flavor fusion, with a backdrop of the most breathtaking views of the Magic city. To make your stay even more memorable, Villazzo offers you the option to have your bar fully stocked with your own cultivated list of wine and spirits.

Villazzo Living—Making Your Life Easier

“No job is too big or too small,” says Jeannette Brandt, Director of Villazzo Living. Villazzo Living caters to every single detail of a luxury property or modest home by offering ultimate hands-on services that no other company can. Whether your kitchen needs remodeling or your stove won’t start, Villazzo Living will have a qualified technician at your door in no time.

The name Villazzo Living says it all, their highly trained team of architects, engineers, groundskeepers, decorators, painters, and handy men provide every aspect of affordable elegance so that you can live comfortably. Your home and even your home away from home requires constant upkeep , Villazzo Living eliminates the need and worry of calling multiple companies to fix or refurbish whatever you require. “It is hard to find a trustworthy contractor in Miami Beach, “ explains Jeannette. She goes on to tell a horror story about a woman who hired someone to paint her home while she was out of town. When she returned, her residence was entirely the wrong color! The woman contacted the company and they refused to come back to correct their mistake. Not only did this woman pay someone to do a job incorrectly, she then had to hire someone new to fix the disastrous error. This is something that should never take place, but unfortunately it happens all the time. Jeannette and the rest of the Villazzo Living team have created a company that guarantees perfection.
Jeannette Brandt has worked with major developers on condominiums such as the Trump Palace and the luxurious Icon in South Beach to ensure the kind of chic sophistication that people would expect from these top-notch buildings. As the head of Villazzo Living Jeannette is here to provide that same prestigious quality to every client. “Our job is to make sure that everything is perfect.”
The Butler Effect
Monday, October 14th, 2013
The butler is Villazzo’s most popular service
Booking a vacation should be an easy decision, but we know that isn’t always the case. Holidays require you to take time away from your busy schedule: work, meetings, clients and all your responsibilities. That’s why, once you’ve made the choice to reward yourself with time off, you need to spend that time wisely. Because of this, Villazzo created one of its most popular services to date: The butler.
“Guests often come to me with lots of stress,” says Operations Director Hanna Talaie, “but when they leave, I can notice the difference – they’re relaxed. The butler has a lot to do with this.”
The Villazzo butler is an extended concierge service offered in all VillaHotels and Villas – essentially a personal assistant. Hanna described to me the type of services they provide:
