The Tea Room & Bar

Enjoy a drink or delicious tea in a historic setting Open daily from noon to midnight

Bar and Afternoon Tea service is at our guests’ disposal from noon to midnight. The dedicated spaces include the patio with its comfortable wicker armchairs designed by Gae Aulenti, the salon rouge with its beautifully painted French style ceiling and its working fireplace, the Chinese cabinet with a flowering plants and birds Chinese wallpaper from the first half of the 18th century and, weather permitting, the garden terrace and the luxuriant garden itself just next to the mighty walls of the Popes’ Palace.

A fine selection of green, black and white teas

Our tea selection includes flushes from the most prestigious tea gardens. The purified water, the control of the individual water temperature and steeping time (leaves are removed before the tea is served) tends to achieve the best balance in flavour for each kind of tea. Homemade pastries like our famous airy cream cheese cake or the poppyseed and almond cake are sweet temptations and good company for a cup of tea. Our hot chocolate in the winter and the chilled Champagne-like kombucha are other favourites.
