The Tea House is located in one of Aveiro's most emblematic areas, Glória and Vera Cruz. It is adjacent to the main canal of the Ria de Aveiro, in the vicinity of Rossio, a location that offers a privileged perspective on the city's urban and aquatic landscape. Its central position makes it an easily accessible reference point for those exploring the heart of Aveiro.
This unique building is a remarkable example of Art Nouveau, an architectural style that marked the last decades of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Originally, the space was conceived as a family residence, Major Pessoa's house, and its design reflects the aesthetic refinement and decorative richness characteristic of this era. Its architecture invites close observation, revealing the intricate details and the harmony of the curvilinear forms that define Art Nouveau.
The Tea House offers a multifaceted experience, adapting its atmosphere throughout the day. During daylight hours, the space takes on an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility, ideal for those seeking a moment of pause and wishing to appreciate the beauty of the building and its surroundings. As night falls, the venue transforms, becoming a more vibrant and popular meeting point, particularly inviting with its outdoor terrace overlooking the canal, a setting conducive to social gatherings in a distinctive environment.
