Grand Hotel Minerva
Florence, Italy
This was probably the only
place that served traditional
afternoon tea during my visit.
Italians love their espresso
very much. It is located in the
Piazza Santa Maria Novella.

Since I was alone, Giovanni,
the Maitre' D, made me feel at
home. However, they only
served afternoon tea on
Saturdays and Sundays during
my visit, and no tea is served in
the summer.

The Italian Tea Club started it
all. Their goal was to promote
and allow citizens to enjoy the
concept of afternoon tea.
