Floris House
Set in an austere grey stone historical building on the very central Via Cavour is a beautiful boutique, selling a very peculiar selection of luxury perfumes, scented candles and home décor. Passing through the main salon takes you to a quiet and beautiful bar. Though small, we enjoyed a great coffee in the company of some very stylish Italians taking a break from their high-end shopping and high-end jobs.
There is small coffee and cocktail bar that adjoin 2 small seating areas. These were airy and sombre rooms where you could find a moment of calm and privacy. Other rooms of the house are dedicated to high-end perfumery and respectively to home decoration, all of which makes being at Floris feel like a treasure hunt.
A soft feeling of silence filled the whole café and shop when we were there - this was no ordinary coffee bar or cocktail bar but had the feeling of a private and luxurious boutique.
The coffee used here is the exclusive Club Kavè from Filicori Zecchini. The bar at Floris House has received a 2 “coffee beans” rating out of 3 from Gambero Rosso for very good reason.
