Turin is a beautiful city which still lives in the shadow of its glorious past.
Its romantic and rather nostalgic atmosphere is really irresistible and during the month of November the city becomes even more nostalgic with an event called Merende reali or Royal teas.
In fact many restaurants and cafes in Turin and nearby towns such as Ivrea, Masino, Collareto, Pinerolo and Lanzo Torinese have decided to revive those famous royal tea parties which were all the rage in the 18th century, so if you are in Piedmont on 6th , 7th and 8th of December, don’t miss the chance to enjoy the grandest party of the season which will take place at the Villa Malfatti in San Giorgio Canavese.
Waiters will dress up and help you recreate the atmosphere of those famous Royal tea parties.
You can even count on the presence of Barbara Ronchi, a famous etiquette expert.
Price ranges from 74 to 180 (more than 24 hotels partake in the initiative, so before booking, check if your hotel is one of them)
