We are delighted to announce yet another reason to choose Palma Gora for your holiday. Our lovely neighbour Elaine is a professional chef with an excellent pedigree. She worked as a chef on private super yachts for eleven years, owned a Thai restaurant in Mexico and has cooked in many exotic locations. Having sailed into Boka Bay one day she was so overwhelmed by the natural beauty that she decided to settle here in Montenegro. We are of course delighted that she chose to buy a part of the farmhouse next to us.
Elaine can shop, prepare and present meals for you if you have had a tiring day out or simply want to treat yourselves. Look at her website , Cooks of Kotor, to see the range of services on offer but she does get very busy during the peak summer season so be sure to book early on .
In addition to providing a private chef service, Elaine will prepare a meal for your arrival and leave it in the fridge so you do not need to worry about cooking on the first night. If you are interested in this service I will put you in touch with Elaine, who will send you sample menus and prices.
If you are thinking of hiring a car, we have a local car hire company, just a mile down the hill, who will be happy to help our guests. Let us know and we can put you in touch.
We also have an excellent taxi driver who can arrange airport transfers or general travel around the area. Again, let us know and we can put you in touch.
