good taste

Without doubt Paola has embraced the senses required here.
In the context of your sentence I would suggest:

good manners

bon ton = good breeding, (good) manners (pl).

questo è il primo significato, l'unico a cui io penso istintivamente, ma nel tuo contesto probabilmente vanno bene le proposte di Paola.
