After an extensive and meticulous restoration process, Villa Overhills was officially inaugurated on August 2.

Dating back to the late 19th century, the villa has been thoughtfully renovated to blend contemporary elements with its original traditional features, such as stone slabs and corbels. This careful preservation ensures the villa retains its historical character while integrating modern infrastructure.

In line with Elia Caterers’ signature concept and philosophy, also seen in Giardini Lambrosa, Villa Overhills features a state-of-the-art open kitchen. The villa is now fully equipped with modern amenities, including WiFi, air conditioning, and a retractable canopy, allowing for adaptable indoor or outdoor spaces.
