Florence
That of tea is a real ritual, a good afternoon habit with which to relax on vacation, a sweet pampering to thank oneself, to reward oneself, to unplug during those days filled with busy work schedules, meetings and unreachable appointments.
Tea is a sacred moment to be indulged in even alone, with the phone in airplane mode.
And today we really recommend that you don't miss the traditional appointment of Tea at Palazzo Castri, a moment of magic accompanied by delicious artisanal cakes and cookies produced by the Florentine Boutique Hotel's in-house bakery.
The 5 o'clock tea at Castri Palace: but what a treat
That of tea is an unmissable appointment for lovers of tradition. Palazzo Castri's bar service will brighten your afternoon in a refined and elegant setting. Ideal to propose to friends, or perfect to be sipped alone, the most English "break" there is will also be served, during the warm season, in the garden "La Limonaia" to make your moments of relaxation even more pleasant.
If gluttony tempts you, know that sometimes resisting it is the first of sins: the Florentia Café's pastry offerings taste truly delicious.
Currently, for example, we find on the menu a particular tiramisu with cantucci and vin santo, cheesecake served with chocolate sauce or red fruit sauce, exquisite chocolates with a thousand flavors...in short, the proposals with which you can accompany your afternoon tea are countless and of excellent quality.
The Florentia Café, open daily, also offers ideal solutions for aperitifs and cocktails as well as A menu of small cuisine with proposals for first and second courses strictly based on products related to seasonality, fresh in summer and more faithful to Tuscan tradition in winter.
The 5 o'clock tea is everywhere a guarantee:
From the tea room at La Mamounia in Marrakech to the Walford Astoria in Las Vegas via - unfailingly - Claridge's and The English Tea Room at Brown's Hotel in London: that of tea is a custom that transcends time and knows no boundaries.
It stands not only for elegance and class, but for something to do with well-being and self-care, with contemplation of the surrounding landscape, with the detail of furnishings and the style of interiors.
There are even those travelers who, wherever they go, always need to experience tea in a foreign country.
In short, that of tea is a journey within a journey: an experience to try when you want to immerse yourself for a few hours in a different world far from reality, a space of peace and recollection, amid exotic flavors and aromas, with refined and exclusive tea offerings.
If you have never tried this ritual, join us at Palazzo Castri where we will know how to delight your palate-and refresh your mind by quieting your thoughts-with an excellent afternoon tea.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
