The bar\u00a0will be open\u00a0everyday from 7 AM\u00a0to 2AM for the entire summer period, and will also feature a restaurant, Cam\u00e9lia, whose French-style fine-dining menu has an Asian twist.

Imagine\u00a0just that, and then add to your picture one of the most illustrious hotels in town, and its beautiful garden &#8212; perfect for a sweet, romantic summer evening in pleasant company.

Very popular with the tourists visiting the museum housed in this fine building, Cafe d&#8217;Estiu recently became a meeting point for young people getting together for drinks in a quiet setting, away from the urban bustle, especially in hot summer weather.
