Monte Tea House

My family and I visited this beautiful tea house on 12/12/25. The service and food were second to none. But for us their kindness to complete strangers went above and beyond. My husband became very ill and almost collapsed. We asked for a taxi, the owners wouldn’t hear of it and took us back to our ship. Unfortunately we weren’t allowed back on board until he was seen at the hospital. So they then drove us to the hospital. They wouldn’t accept payment from us. They truly were the loveliest people and we can’t thank them enough. I hope they see this post Kindest regards Alyson & Steve Temple.

Lovely little cafe, picturesque and quiet in a nice way. Lovely decor and attentive service. Calming atmosphere would recommend this cafe of all places in Monte
