Our 10 Favorite Airbnbs with a Chef's Kitchen

A holiday kitchen that can handle a real dinner party is hard to find, because Airbnb has no chef's kitchen filter in its menu. We searched the hidden one and looked at every kitchen photo ourselves. These are the ten whole homes we would book to cook in, from a glass chalet under Mont Blanc to a Tuscan-style villa among the vines between Napa and Sonoma.

Every home here is the whole place, not a room. Prices are the full Airbnb total for 7 nights, 6 March 2027 to 13 March 2027, for 2 guests, including fees and taxes, checked on 25 October 2026. They change daily, so open the listing for today's price.

Before you book

Before you book, ask the host what the hob runs on, how many burners it has, and whether the kitchen comes stocked with good knives, pans and baking trays. A photo shows the layout, but only the host can tell you whether the oven runs hot or the pans are worth cooking with.

How we chose: we searched every continent for Airbnbs with a chef's kitchen, kept only whole homes rated 4.85 or higher whose photos show the chef's kitchen, and picked the ten we would most like to stay in, at a range of prices. Nobody paid to be on this list.
