Jun22596 18 | LUXlife Magazine Summer 2024 | 11 Villa Arrigo: Where Affordability Meets Luxury Villa Arrigo is a distinguished villa located in San Pawl tat-Targa, an exclusive area of the Maltese Islands. In 1998, the villa was repurchased and transformed into Malta’s leading event venue, serviced by industry experts Osborne Caterers. Here, we speak with Sales and Marketing Director Jake Debono as Villa Arrigo receives its title in the 2024 Leaders in Luxury Awards. Constructed in 1889 by Cesare Garsin, Villa Arrigo belongs to the Arrigo Group of Companies, founded by the late Ralph Arrigo. Operating since the late 1950s, the group has always been a family enterprise that has invested continuously into the hotel and hospitality industry. For over four decades, Osborne Caterers has been dedicated to providing sophisticated and tailored catering solutions to a variety of high-end events. From humble beginnings, the company was initially a small firm operating from the Osborne Hotel in Valletta. However, the business grew as word spread of its excellent services and quality food, and the company recognised that it must meet this expansion. As Osborne Caterers transformed to a boutique event company, it realised that the business needed an exclusive location to operate out of. Rather than providing catering services from the hotel, the business shifted to become a boutique and exclusive caterer, from the luxurious setting of Villa Arrigo. The business offers clients a range of wedding packages expertly designed to enhance events through delicious catering solutions. The packages come in four stages at four different prices so that Villa Arrigo can cater to all, starting at Sapphire and ending at Diamond. The packages all include cold canapes, sandwiches, hot canapes, and sweets at the base point, with additional plates and food types added to the higher levels. All packages cover savoury and sweet items, wedding cakes, coffee, the venue, and all necessary equipment for a seven-hour event. Describing the company’s services, Jake says, “The most important thing to us is you, your reception, and your wedding! A lot of hands, heart, and creativity are required to make your event a success. The quality of food we use, to all that is elegant and exclusive, comes with a guarantee of exquisite attention to detail and excellent service. we can tailor your event to your requirements, or you may opt for an allinclusive event.” Villa Arrigo is visually breathtaking, with a colonial style that provides the perfect backdrop for your special moments. Its imposing exterior, combined with elegant, neoclassical furnishings, and a sprawling, serene garden promises to transport guests to another world. Jake tells us, “Villa Arrigo is so much more than a wedding venue; our state-of-the-art sound system, soundproof property, and the house offers the opportunity to everyone to host an event here.” Events held at Villa Arrigo are meticulously planned and masterfully executed, with no stone left unturned when it comes to providing clients with the wedding of their dreams. Working in the luxury sector means that the team work tirelessly to ensure that each event reflects the chic, contemporary, and luxury vision associated with Villa Arrigo. “Luxury for us is when you are able to transform a client’s dreams into reality. It is the power to wow your guests, regardless of what would seem to be impossible,” says Jake. Working within the luxury sector requires continual improvement, ensuring that the services provided are kept to the highest standards. Jake notes that in more recent years, clients are becoming more demanding and more creative. Through having an understanding team that holds decades of experience, the company can be sure that it is equipped to accommodate the higher end of the market. He says, “Having been established for over 40 years, Villa Arrigo is rich in all types of trends. This means that when we face a client wanting a certain theme, we can guarantee that we have the equipment to match.” This unwavering commitment to meeting its client’s needs to the exact detail is what sets Villa Arrigo far ahead in the luxury sector. The company has reinvented itself as necessary to remain at the forefront of the market, providing sophisticated event catering and a dream wedding venue to countless couples for decades. Looking to the future, Villa Arrigo will be merging and offering its services with other high-end properties, with luxury accommodation soon to be added to the company’s list.
