Afternoon Tea

Book at Airbnb or Fleurs de Villes Diana

Tall windows, soft summer afternoon light, handmade peony pendants drifting overhead and a tiered stand arriving at your table laden with the prettiest things our kitchen makes.

This is afternoon tea reimagined the Petiole way - plant-first, generous and just a little bit romantic.

Think delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones with all the right things alongside and a run of small, seasonal cakes from the Café Petiole kitchen, including, if you're lucky, a corner of Rishim's famed Tendril Tiramisu. And tea, of course, with the option of a glass of something low-intervention if the mood takes you.
