Sandro Morelli and his charity work for Cudeca Hospice

Sandro Morelli is an Italian businessman who, after 18 years working in London, decided to set up his own restaurant surrounded by beautiful gardens on Marbella's Golden Mile, gardens which are now his great passion and pride. He met Joan Hunt, the beloved and recently deceased founder of Cudeca, over 12 years ago and fell platonically in love with her and her cause for palliative care as soon as he saw her. The charity's charitable work captured Sandro's heart and he has been loyal to the organization ever since.

Sandro Morelli and his restaurant Villa Tiberio have been collaborating with the Cudeca Hospice Foundation since 2011, a collaboration that has resulted in 12 charity gala dinners and many years of support with a total donation of €197,365.28 to date.
