Description
We offer the experience of an afternoon as Piedmontese noblewomen of the late nineteenth century in the living rooms of a castle in the Turin countryside, engaged in the customary tea ritual and the aristocratic divertissement of the “Bandera” embroidery.
In reference to the good manners of the time, in the company of the hostess, guests will be offered a cup of tea, accompanied by period sweets and refined savory dishes, and, during the experience, in the “embroidered lounge”, a mini-course in Bandera embroidery, typical of the area, will take place.
It will be a truly elegant moment, out of time, full of suggestions and pleasant emotions, where guests, for a few hours, will be able to feel like true noblewomen of the time.
Luxury
Relive the authentic spaces and real recreational activities of the Italian nobility of the late nineteenth century, inside a magnificent Piedmontese castle that has remained intact over the centuries.
