Vilagiorgi is an idyllic walled sanctuary within the historical quarter of São Pedro in Funchal. Think cobbled streets, local churches, beautiful flora, and feel the essence of the location of Vilagiorgi.

The retreat features 34 elegantly appointed rooms and 10 suites. The inspirational spa is housed within the old wine lodge and offers a tantalizing range of treatments which specialises in rejuvenation using indigenous products. This haven of calm boasts a beautifully designed lap pool which will lure guests for a swim. A veranda where one can experience innovative local cuisine overlooks the serenity of the gardens.

This unique inner sanctum once belonged to Antonio Giorgi, an Italian national who was the Portuguese vice consul in Safi in Morocco during the late 1800’s. Vilagiorgi, with its Moorish influences, blending harmoniously with the local architecture and contemporary design, is a tribute to his life.
