100%. After dining out constantly in Rome, when we got to Amalfi--- given the typically-expansive villa view, the little grill and a very workable kitchen-- I had excessive joy every morning penciling out and then shopping for an expansive 4-course meal for dinner that we'd spread out from 5PM (happy hour), to antipasti/primi/second/dessert through to 1030/11. I was ready to be done with it after 5 consecutive nights, but it was magical.
It depends on what you're looking for of course; many people wouldnt dream of cooking on vacation. But for us? It was just right.
