Tenuta Borgia a Pantelleria

On the island of Pantelleria, Italy, lies the magical Tenuta Borgia. The estate, once used as baroness Rosa Borgia's summer getaway, is now open for everyone to enjoy. The author spent a week there in April 2017 which resulted in a book, capturing the environments of both the estate and the island. Tenuta Borgia was founded as a way for Rosa to secure her surroundings from modernisation and demolition. When neighboring properties went up for sale she bought them to preserve the old Dammusi (old Arabian stone cottages) as they were. The estate now consists of seven Dammusi in different sizes, all available for rent with interiors decorated by Rosa herself. The surrounding farm produces wine (Passito di Pantelleria) and the most delicious olive oil.
