Pamela and Pasquale

I am from the island of Ischia, transplanted to Corvara where the beauty of the mountains contrasts with the seaside I carry within. I describe myself as a 'mussel clinging to the rock,' feeling attached to my island while admiring the alpine peaks. I am meticulous, a control freak, and a cheerful pessimist. I love the slow life, routine, a coffee macchiato, good food, and bold wine.

Pamela is an essential presence. She is delicate, elegant, and ethereal, yet at the same time exudes a certain boldness. She is our living oxymoron, so contradictory as to be harmonious and irresistible. She is a source of good humour and light-heartedness. One can’t help but love her.

My journey has been rather unique. I was a student until the age of 21, and a retired lawyer before ever becoming one, but after leaving law school I discovered my passion for wine. This led me to work in a small restaurant overlooking the sea, where I built the foundations of my

career by always seeking experiences that brought me closer to the world of wine.

I would compare our service at La Stüa de Michil to an impressionist painting: it doesn’t live by perfection but by harmony, by bursts of colour that capture the moment. With wine, passion is expressed in the countless glasses shared with friends and the miles travelled to discover new producers. Recommending a good wine is our way of expressing affection for our guests.

Our diversity creates understanding and chemistry. We enjoy our journey together. The Stüa is a challenge with important goals and responsibilities, and working here requires commitment. With Simone, there’s a special chemistry: together, we give voice to our ideas and transform experiences that leave our guests with a desire to return. We are ambitious, demanding of ourselves and others, but above all we enjoy what we do.
