Hi, I'm Ariane, better known as C. A. Saltoris

I'm the Founder, Creative Director & CEO of Taverna da Ilsa. I am also a published Dark Fantasy & Gothic author. I believe in the feminine soul and created this space for you who do too, I hope you feel at home and loved here.

You may find a ghost or two in some of the rooms, but I thought you would be thrilled.
