A beautiful, stylish, small hotel on the 3rd floor of a lovely old building, with the ambiance of a private residence. Everyone was very welcoming, friendly and helpful, and our room (Livingstone) was spacious, elegant and very comfortable. A delightful place, and very highly recommended.

An amazing place to stay in Firenze! Beautiful, luxuriously comfortable room and delicious breakfast. It felt like we were staying with friends as everyone was so lovely and super helpful - they really went above and beyond! Plus we were given some absolutely great recommendations for restaurants etc. so we could experience local life after hitting the tourist trail! Grazie Mille!

Title: A Magical Stay at Velona’s Jungle Luxury Suite My daughter and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Velona’s Jungle Luxury suite, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The suite itself was a paradise nestled in the heart of nature, offering breathtaking views and luxurious amenities. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the comfortable bedding to the elegant decor. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the impeccable service provided by the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed, making us feel pampered and cared for throughout our entire stay. From indulging in delicious breakfast every moment spent at Velona’s Jungle Luxury suite was pure bliss. I cannot thank the staff enough for their hospitality and kindness. Our experience exceeded all expectations, and I highly recommend Velona’s Jungle Luxury suite to anyone looking for a magical getaway. Thank you so much for an unforgettable stay! Emese

Plus: * Veronica is a great & friendly host with great hints & tips on where to go in Florence * Rooms are beautiful in the jungle theme, all top level 'equipment' * Location is 10-15 mins walk from the historic centre > excellent * Breakfast brought to your room on a trolley is a delight Minus: * A small minus is the aircon not working in winter.....systems set on 25ºC minimum. We opened the windows instead because November was warm....

Fantastisk hotell och personal.

Vi hade det superbra på hotellet, personalen är den bästa jag har varit med om, dom var tillgängliga, bemötande, snälla och väldigt måna om sina kunder. Hotellet är i modern skick och superren. Frukosten var fantastisk och man fick mycket mat.

8/10 Very good

Lekker B&B

Kan være greit å bemerke at det er en B&B, ikke et hotell. Veldig god service når man kommer frem, men ser ellers ikke særlig til personalet ved overnattingsstedet. Ganske lytt mellom rom/gang. Lekkert interiør, pene rom. Føles som å bo i en stilig leilighet, mer enn et hotell. Enkel, men god frokost, som serveres på tralle til rommet. Savner noe mer variert utvalg, og et ordentlig bord å sitte ved. Fikk mange gode tips til restauranter o.l ved ankomst. Liker du B&B, kommer du til å elske dette! Ønsker du å bo på et fullservice hotell, kommer du til å savne enkelte ting! Stas å få en flaske prosecco ved ankomst da vi var der i anledning vår bryllupsreise! Ps: Burde hatt (mye) bedre hårføner på rommet!!

The Most Wonderful Stay

Velona’s Jungle’da 3 gece konakladık. Dekorasyonu, odamız, kahvaltı her şey en ince ayrıntısına kadar düşünülmüştü. Veronica otele girdiğimiz andan itibaren bize her konuda yardımcı oldu. Restoran, alışveriş önerilerinde bulundu. Hatta alışveriş merkezine gidebilmemiz için otobüs biletimizi bile aldı, kendisine buradan tekrar teşekkür ediyorum. Konumunun tam merkezde olmamasını düşünmeyin, her yere sadece 10 dakika yürüme mesafesinde ve Veronica’nın önerisi ile nehir kenarından keyifle yürüyerek merkeze ulaştık. Hem çalışanlar hem Veronica mükemmel bir deneyim sağladı. Floransa’ya tekrar geldiğimizde kesinlikle kalacağımız yer, evimiz gibi hissettirdiğin için teşekkürler Veronica.

Delightful Designer Luxury!

I make a point of staying at small boutique hotels, and Velona's is a fantastical example of why. The decor is worthy of the finest designer showcase house, and my room (the "Darwin") could have been decorated by Gianni Versace. Luxurious bathroom, specialty local organic bath products, elegant salon, etc etc. People greeting me and serving me breakfast could not be nicer or more welcoming. I cannot say enough about this intimate little hideaway in Florence.

Veronica was extremely happy to help with anything we needed and consistently went above and beyond our expectations when we had questions about restaurants, museums, tours, etc. Stay also includes a generous breakfast, with tasty vegan croissants baked fresh daily.

If you're trying to decide whether or not to book Velona's, you're wasting your time. Book it. You'll love it. It's in a charming corner of Florence but far enough off the main drag that it doesn't feel overwhelming. Easy to get anywhere but a lovely place to wander around if you don't want to go far. Veronica, the owner, couldn't be nicer. The room was great. The ambiance of the property was tremendous. Book now and don't look back! :)

Excellent decor, comfortable bed and clean toilet. Breakfast was delightful. Will definitely recommend this place! My only comment will be for them to install a corridor light so guests can see the corridor clearly when they come back at night.

Such a great experience to visit in Velona’s Jungle. Owner contacted with whatsapp one day advance and asked our check-in time and are we coming with car, so she could instruct us with problematic parking. She also offered to reserve a dinner for us for the first night In one word; Wow!

Loved it and book to stay here!

We absolutely loved our time at Velona’s, the place is beautiful, immaculate and Veronica is very welcoming. The suites are a 5-10 min walk to the river, so not as central as some accommodation as Florence is pretty small. But, well worth the extra 10 minute walk for this boutique B&B. Veronica is a local and have us loads of brilliant advice on where to eat and drink at a variety of prices. 100% recommend and would love to come back again!
