The Story Behind the Studio
by hospitality
Studio Chiara Caberlon was born from a deep focus on hôtellerie and hospitality design. Since the beginning, the studio has developed more than 200 projects in Italy and abroad, working with international hotel brands as well as independent identities.
Over time, this experience has shaped a design approach that goes beyond interiors alone: every project becomes a dialogue between architecture, atmosphere, materials, technology and the unique character of each place.

A Creative
Conception Studio
Behind every project is a shared process of research, intuition and dialogue. The studio brings together different perspectives to transform each brief into a coherent vision, where interiors, objects, materials and identity become part
of the same story. A way of designing that starts from people and places, and turns hospitality into something personal, recognizable and deeply connected to its context.

Hilton signs a franchising agreement with the Minardo Group of Modica for the Terradamari Resort & Spa, backed by a 15 million euro investment budgeted in 2022 for construction. The opening fits within the growth of the Tapestry Collection brand across Europe, which counts more than 135 hotels, alongside recent openings in Crete, Bordeaux and Barcelona. Patrick Fitzgibbon, Senior Vice President Development EMEA at Hilton, highlights the strategic interest in Mediterranean island destinations, and in Sicily in particular, which welcomed more than five million tourists the previous year. The property has 42 rooms with sea view balconies, green walls inspired by the landscape, the A Truvatura restaurant, a beachside grill and the Ciàtu spa with six treatment cabins.

Raimondo Minardo, an entrepreneur from Modica whose family owns nine hotels between Modica, Marina di Modica and Rome, tells the story behind Terradamari as a wish to bring new value to the area by restoring abandoned, forgotten buildings. The resort has 39 sea view rooms, two pools, a private beach and a spa spanning a thousand square metres. The architectural vision, signed by Studio Caberlon, highlights the continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces, with materials inspired by the dunes and Mediterranean colours. Minardo explains that he chose to start with a four star property in order to fully understand visitor needs before any future development. General manager Felice Di Donato describes the choice to focus on destination tourism, promoting the surrounding area, from the baroque towns of Modica, Scicli and Noto to the sea, alongside a commitment to working exclusively with local labour. The article also gives space to the resort's energy and water sustainability, and to the A Truvatura restaurant, led by chef Carmelo Buoncuore with consultancy from Accursio Craparo.

The interior design of the Terradamari Resort & Spa, by the Milan-based studio of Chiara Caberlon, blends tradition and contemporary style in the first Hilton in Sicily, part of the Tapestry Collection. The property has 42 rooms, a spa, an outdoor pool and a gourmet restaurant, with neutral sand and stone tones woven together with touches of deep blue and olive green. The project follows a fully eco-sustainable approach (electric-only systems, solar energy, advanced water resource management) while the restaurant is led by executive chef Carmelo Buoncuore in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Accursio Craparo.

Chiara Caberlon and Valentina Piccirillo of Communication Juice together tell the story behind the Terradamari Resort & Spa, the first Tapestry Collection by Hilton in Sicily, born from the wish of Modica-based entrepreneur Raimondo Minardo to restore a ruin abandoned for thirty years at Punta Regilione. Chiara recounts how the first winter site visit inspired the interior's colour palette, drawing on the blue, sand and grey tones of the dunes outside the tourist season. Valentina explains the naming process: Terradamari plays on a Sicilian double meaning between "land to love" and "land seen from the sea", the Ciàtu Spa takes its name from the dialect word for breath, life and love, and the A' Truvatura restaurant evokes the idea of a rediscovered treasure.
