What is there to do at the spa? It’s not a question we often have to ask, given the countless activities that the Hotel Tritone offers. But those who have never been here before might perhaps think that a spa stay means only treatments, massages, and relaxing in the pool.

These are certainly the main activities that one can enjoy here. But staying at the spa means refreshing both the mind and the body: both enjoying the exclusive treatments, and experiencing all those small moments of relaxation that make a dream holiday unique.

We are very proud of our attention to those details. Today we’d like to discuss an activity that our guests really appreciate: the exclusive patisserie courses run by our Lady Chef Pâtissier Elisabetta Ghiraldo.

To discover all the activities you can take part in during your stay, write to us or call +39 049 8668099.

From traditional puddings to international desserts, explore your favourite recipes

Our Lady Chef Pâtissier, with her ever-delicious Italian and international dessert recipes, does a wonderful job of satisfying every palate. Participating in her patisserie courses is a unique opportunity to spend carefree hours in a dreamy and relaxed atmosphere.

The patisserie course covers recipes for cakes that guests will have already had the opportunity to taste during breakfast, or the dessert buffets at lunch and dinner. All the creations can also be reproduced at home, without the need for special equipment, so you have a piece of your experience at our Hotel to take home with you. Furthermore, you will have a special opportunity to request special recipes that you have tried, or advice on creations you have previously made, but would like to improve.

The secrets of a perfect creation

The demonstration starts with the description of the ingredients and  the various amounts used, before going on to explain the method, showing the basic steps.

During the explanation of the various methods, the Lady Chef Pâtissier will share her expertise with her “students”, showing – for example – the movement to make to blend the mixture without flattening it, or the exact consistency of a delicious cream, revealing tricks known only to professionals.

Using her advice, you will learn all the secrets of a perfect patisserie confection that will amaze those for whom you make it.

I also offers suggestions about the ingredients — how to choose the right quality of chocolate, or how to toast dried fruit in order to bring out its fragrance.

Open to any question, our Lady Chef Pâtissier will guide you to the best decisions to  cater to your every need. She will tell you how to reduce fat and calories in recipes, suggesting alternative ingredients, such as less refined sugars, or plant substitutes for dairy products, and explain when it is better to use a fan or standard oven.

Our patisserie courses are perfect for anyone, as a carefree pastime or an opportunity to improve your own recipes. And even your sweet tooth will be satisfied when it comes to the moment to taste what you’ve created!

A final piece of advice from our Lady Chef Pâtissier:

Pay attention to recipe instructions and cooking times, but always apply your experience and intuition; you are the queens and kings of your kitchens, because no-one else knows them as well as you do.

Every day we offer many activities to enliven our guests’ stays. Find out more about staying at the Hotel Tritone by writing to us or call (+39) 049 8668099.
