About Villa Arrigo

Villa Arrigo is a colonial-style villa built in 1887 at San Pawl tat-Targa near Naxxar in Malta, with immaculate gardens, a grand marquee and exclusive-use events catered by Osborne Caterers.

Villa Arrigo is a colonial-style villa at San Pawl tat-Targa, near Naxxar in Malta, built by Cesare Garsin in 1887 and first known as Villa Garcin. The Arrigo family rented it in 1986, renamed it Villa Arrigo and has run it as an event venue since, and it belongs to the Arrigo Group of Companies. The villa stands in an exclusive area of the island, with immaculate gardens around it and a grand marquee beside it.

For a wedding, the villa, the marquee and the gardens are hired for one client at a time, and Osborne Caterers provides a personalised kitchen and staff dedicated to the event. Receptions can be tailored to the couple or arranged as an all-inclusive event, and the same venue is used for parties and business meetings. There is no guest accommodation on site, so wedding guests stay in hotels elsewhere on the island.

Outstanding!

My daughter got married here in August. Very nice setting and gardens. Ours was less than 50 people but can accommodate up to 1200 I think. Even though the temperature was around 40 degrees you could have the ceremony under the canopy or in the shaded part of the garden. With air-con controlled premises it was a lovely place. Friendly helpful staff. I would recommend this place to anyone getting married in Malta or holding a family event. Outstanding.
