Memories at the Table with Chef Silvia Natal

Memories at the Table

In a unique atmosphere provided by Vila Secreta, an incredible lunch comes to life thanks to Chef Silvia Natal (@sabordoencontro_), who has created exclusive menus, prepared especially for these occasions and for this location.

It's a gastronomic experience that is both emotional and cultural.

In a charming location in the heart of São Paulo, we are transported to another time, where flavors, stories, and encounters transform into unforgettable moments and give life to the true meaning of Memories at the Table.

What is the Secret Village?

The Secret Village has awakened from a long period of history.

It's a unique place in the heart of São Paulo, in the Aclimação neighborhood, that remained unknown for over 70 years.

Originally, it was the home of collector Raful de Raful, an eccentric traveling salesman who created a 19th-century Colonial Village within his property, transforming the space into his own private ecosystem, where he housed his collection of 4,000 objects and eccentricities.

The place has a village (mini-city) entirely built with original 19th-century materials, as well as a mansion with themed rooms and many objects you wouldn't even imagine, all over 100 years old.

Today, his grandson is the Guardian and the one who welcomes all who arrive there. From the moment you enter the Village, it's like stepping through a portal, where time takes on a different rhythm and you experience a unique sensory, historical, and cultural journey.

And all of this in the heart of São Paulo.

What will your experience be like?
