Giselle petite patisserie: what it offers

Giselle is a small modern pastry shop run by an all-female team. Alongside breakfast viennoiserie, it offers mignon pastries, single-portion desserts, mousses and contemporary cakes, some created by reinterpreting great classics such as the Black Forest cake. Among the creations linked to the area is the crostata Sibilla (Sibilla tart): almond shortcrust enclosing a ricotta and pecorino cake with caramelized pink apples (mele rosa) of the Sibillini Mountains, flavored with Varnelli, the anise liqueur from Valfornace.

Giselle petite patisserie: what to see nearby

San Ginesio is called the «balcone dei Sibillini» for its view of the peaks of the Park. The village has kept a long ring of walls and monuments such as the late 13th-century Ospedale dei Pellegrini (Pilgrims' Hospital) and the Collegiata on Piazza Alberico Gentili, the only church in the Marche in the florid Gothic style. The 2016 earthquake damaged many historic buildings, so before visiting it is best to check the condition of the monuments.
