OUR STORY
Villa Pocci was born thanks to an idea of Maria’s who has always had a particular knack for hosting. In the 1970s she decided to open the Beau Rivage Restaurant, which proved to be a successful initiative that over the years became an ideal place for one of a kind events such as wedding receptions, private receptions and corporate events. Villa Pocci proved itself to be successful in catering, and soon became a place where guests could welcome their friends and family to an evening of elegance, refinement and excellent cuisine.
Today Villa Pocci still has a lot to tell toghether with Villa Beau Rivage, a location that offers a breathtaking view where you can live your dream. The philosophy at the core of our business is based on three key principles: passion that our staff puts into their work with the goal of fulfilling guest’s wishes, the care and detail that ultimately makes the difference and finally, the quality of our cuisine.
We always offer on-site cooking, handling all aspects of the meal directly from the choice of high quality ingredients, with particular attention given to seasonality, to the composition of our sought after menus abundant in the many flavors of Mediterranean cuisine.
IL TEAM
LAURA
(SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER)
“I handle social media for Villa Pocci. Taking care of the social channels means having direct contact with our guests. It’s this personal relationship with guests, even if done virtually, enrichens my work… Sometimes I feel like I know all of the people who interact on our social media. And every interaction is very important to me. My goal? I want to make people feel something special with every communication I post. This is why every post is accompanied by photos of guest events. I am inspired by what I see, and I post with the same feelings and joy that I wish for others to feel!”
FRANCESCO
(DIRECTOR)
“I have always had the opportunity to manage numerous teams, with the help of the coordination of human resources under my direct supervision. In 2015 I arrived at Villa Pocci. The opportunity I was given has allowed me to grow in a new and exciting area. Every day, together with the whole staff, we aim to ensure our guests are met with the highest quality. We have a team that works with a goal of making each event “the Event” of a lifetime, because for us every event must be as unique as our guests and their needs. So I say thank you to everyone and thank you for the guest’s positive feedback in making my experience at Villa Pocci a fascinating and especially enjoyable one.“
AMLETO
(MAÎTRE)
“My work at Villa Pocci is a great responsibility because it I am in charge of the main dining room during these important events… but I am compensated greatly every time I see a satisfied and happy guest. It is important to remember that the work of a Maître is one which must follow intense rhythms and irregular hours which often fall on a holiday or a Sunday. But this does not bother me at all. I am convinced that Villa Pocci has much to offer me on both a professional and personal level. My work experience at Villa Pocci has allowed me to live every event with enthusiasm. My objective is that of making every single guest feel at home and I hope I succeed every time.”
MIRKEDA
(ASSISTANT DIRECTOR)
“I have worked at Villa Pocci for many years as the Assistant Director. Throughout the years, I have received great feedback from our guests which is always very rewarding for me. Francis, the Director, considers me his “guardian angel”. With my proverbial patience and willingness, I take care of the organization of the tables, provide support to the bride and groom from the first day of planning to the end of the actual event. I make sure management priorities are implemented, that room logistics are followed, and I take care of the buffets … My favorite part would have to be the guest reception, when we welcome the guests. I love listening to guests and understanding what their needs are. I do my best to make sure every single guest is comfortable. I am not satisfied unless they are satisfied!.“
FEDERICA, CHIARA, ALESSANDRA E FRANCESCA (WEDDING PLANNER)
“Villa Pocci gives us the opportunity to dream and help other dream! We consider our work a privelege, as well as a professional responsibility. We have the honor of meeting soon to be newlyweds in search of the wedding of their dreams, parents who want to organize their child’s baptism, communion, confirmation, graduation party, birthday. They come to us to create a bit of magic for them. It is through speaking to them, understanding what they like, and understanding their emotions that we can create that magic for them on their big day. Our goal is to make their dreams, our dreams and to make them become a reality. Our work allows us to be dreamers and think big every day!”
