Special Projects is what happens when a villa company gets asked, one too many times, to look after the whole event.

Today it’s a small team on the ground, from the French Alps to the Dolomites, all the way down to Capri. And most of what’s in between.

We take a brand from the first idea to the last guest out. Launches, retreats, dinners, the odd fleet of yachts.

The same care we put into our villas, now in every event.

Elite Villas Special Projects
Events and brand moments, in our villas and well beyond them. For brands and people who’d rather be remembered than noticed.

We work like a small studio. Everything is drawn, rendered and tested before anything gets built.

Fifty guests of Audemars Piguet, one evening on the sea at Nerano. We did all of it: the idea, the place, the build, the guests.

Everyone arrived by boat. Aperitivo on the terraces at sunset, dinner at two long tables made for the night, spaghetti at midnight, then back on board.

It started on Capri, at Villa Malaparte, and moved to Nerano. Every terrace rendered, every colour tried twice. Teal or pink. Printed or sculpted. The client walked through the night before we built it.

Elite female athletes and coaches, brought together by Nike during the Winter Olympics to shape what comes next in women’s sport.

We found the places and ran everything on the ground, side by side with Magma Global.

Three days in Milan, built for connection. Private dinners in some of the city’s best rooms, pizza with a master, and the Missoni archive with the doors closed behind them.

Napkins with the Think Tank mark. A lounge hung with the athletes’ own portraits. A pizza room in red and white. Nothing came off a shelf.

Farm Rio’s Capri happened mostly on the water. A sailing boat dressed head to toe in the brand, a private chef cooking lunch on board. In the evening, dinner at L’Osteria delle Sirene. In collaboration with Pilot Room.

We found the boat, then dressed it in Farm Rio. Striped cushions, the flag, and a private chef cooking lunch on deck.

Getting there took a car and a tender. Nobody complained.

Dinner above the sea, in Farm Rio red. Back at the hotel, a welcome gift on every bed.

We took care of all of it. First the villa, then everything that happened inside it. Local experiences, picked and run by us. Every moment set and styled for the brand, from the morning stretch to the last glass.

Dinner got the most attention. At the villa, and in historic palazzi opened only for the guests.

Concrete, glass and the hills above Noto, with the sea at the end of the view. From our own portfolio. It didn’t take long to choose.

A brunch for Tezenis and five talents at Villa Milena, Lake Como. Scouting, concept, renders, production. And a lot of fabric. In collaboration with Miss Boss Srl.

Walls, ceilings, tables, chairs. All wrapped in the same Tezenis fabric until the villa read as one body. The product wasn’t on display. It was the room.

Silver and glass only. Flowers in brown. Bread laid out like a colour chart.

One villa, six rooms, six reasons to stay until the afternoon.

A client’s birthday, two nights, the heart of Naples. We found the venues, ran them, and supported Vincenzo Dascanio’s production down to the last detail.

Not the usual birthday. One weekend in Naples, two very different rooms.

Three days in Naples for ghd and five talents. Not the postcard version: the one Neapolitans keep for themselves. In collaboration with MB Projects.

We found the hotel and every table worth sitting at. Then the experiences: masterclasses, a ceramics workshop, a few doors that usually stay shut. Every transfer, sorted.

A ceramics masterclass at a table laid in ghd. Then dinner by candlelight, in red.
