Casa Paradis is the result of a love story that began 5 years ago in the Middle East. The owners and creators – Denisa and Valentin – met on a beach in Dubai and have been inseparable ever since.

Denisa comes from a family of hoteliers & restaurateurs and has spent 20 years working in hospitality in Florence, Tuscany and Dubai. Her passion for la dolce vita has developed early in life as she focussed on evolving her culinary skills, strongly influenced by the flavours of the Mediterranean.  Growing up in her grandmother’s kitchen and garden, she stays true to her culture using only ultimately fresh, home grown or organic produce.

Valentin comes from a similar background. Growing up in the Provence, his father owned a restaurant where he started organizing sophisticated week-end parties and cocktail events. He then continued to develop his skills as restaurateur & sommelier in some of the most prestigious establishments in Nice and Monte Carlo.

Soon learning that he was hungry for more, he left France for Dubai and opened his own business supplying selected French cosmetics to Spas & Beauty salons across the Middle East. Entrepreneurship suited him well and he grew a successful business, which has been operating for 25 years.
