If you can’t drag yourself away from the fireplace over Christmas, then why not swing and dance to the sound of the Lisbon Swing Band, a fully blown orchestra, at the New Year’s Eve Gala at Vila Vita Parc, themed The Great Gatsby at the Parc. With its 2 Michelin starred Ocean restaurant and a host of other gourmet venues to suit every taste,Vila Vita Parc celebrated it’s 20th anniversary this year, well done Kurt Gillig and his team!
‘There have been very positive comments about The Great Gatsby piece, everyone loves the design’ Katya Bauval – Director of Sales & Marketing
