It’s not just a serve — it’s a real ritual.
To achieve this, we painstakingly collected vintage tableware: some pieces were found right within the mansion’s walls during restoration, as if the past itself had decided to return; others we carefully brought back from Europe or found in closed showrooms.
This way, every guest will have their own unique table setting when breakfast is served—because no two pieces of tableware are alike.
Now you, too, can become part of this tradition—treat yourself to a leisurely morning where everything exudes beauty, freedom, and the true joy of life.
This is a culinary journey through time, in which every detail — from the tableware to the ambiance — embodies refinement, luxury, and a tribute to greatness.
