After a morning spent exploring Romanesque churches, quiet piazzas, and the layered history of L’Aquila, this High Tea experience offers a moment to slow down and reconnect — with place, people, and flavor.

Hosted in an innovative and alternative space in the historic center, this is not a traditional tourist activity, but a refined pause designed for travelers who appreciate authenticity and human connection. Locals come here to unwind, and visitors are welcomed into a setting that feels lived-in, creative, and deeply rooted in contemporary Abruzzo.

At the heart of the experience is Barbara, a pastry chef who trained abroad and chose to return to her hometown, bringing with her a rare blend of English and French pastry traditions. Her High Tea reflects this journey: delicate cakes, refined pastries, and carefully prepared teas that combine international technique with local sensibility.

This is a place to disconnect from constant movement and reconnect through conversation, craftsmanship, and taste. Sitting down for High Tea here becomes part of understanding modern L’Aquila — a city where resilience, creativity, and openness to the world coexist.
