Velona’s Jungle Luxury Suites, Florence

Loved the design and how cool the hotel was - it was so different from other hotels in Florence. The personal touches were were lovely as was the customer service - we had a question a they answered within minutes.

The location was a bit out of the way - but that made it quiet and relaxing to come back to our hotel.

The theme of the suit with jungle and luxury furniture, the breakfast which was served in the room. And of course stuff were friendly and helpful special thank to mode for his recommendations and guidance.

The hosts were exceptionally knowledgeable about their loca area and offered many recommendations which we tried and all were fantastic (from food to museums to shopping and places to walk). The hotel is directly next to the Tram line which goes to the main Santa Maria Novella rail station and from the hotel most things are a 15-30 minute walk (if you're good on your feet).

Room was lovely and clean and the balcony was a nice place to relax (we had the Cousteau room) and get some fresh air. We did not have the breakfast in our price but there are really reasonable breakfast places nearby (cafe Gamberini a 10 min walk away has sit in and take away)

Before we got to the hotel when the booking was confirmed the hosts give a list of recommendations for food. Definitely book your evening meal restaurants because queues can be long for places! The hosts also sent a WhatsApp with pictures and directions to the hotel which are good help for finding it as it is within a block of flats.

Drinks frindge available so can store own drinks but also the room ones were complimentary and topped up daily. Room had water and a kettel with tea and coffee too.


(Only "downside" if you have long hair or thick hair then the hairdryer provided with the room will take a very long time to dry as not very powerful so would bring your own)

Definitely recommend this hotel and if we return to Florence this is the place we will look to stay.

Prior to our arriving in Italy, the owner, Veronica, was very reachable and answered all questions we had. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and ushered to the fabulous reception area, offered a drink where the team answered any and all questions. Federico pulled out a map and showed us all the highlights, where all the various sights were located in proximity to the hotel. He gave us a lot if information about area restaurants and cafes, we tried their favorites, and they became our favorites.
The B & B is in great proximity to the train station and to downtown Florence. We were able to walk to everything.
The B & B has an amazing Florence vibe, every room is different and so amazing.
Our room, Humbolt room, had a separate living room from bedroom. The bathroom was large, separated from the actual bathroom.
The magnificent details of our room did not go unnoticed, just spectacular.
Next trip to Florence, we would stay here again and will recommend to everyone we know!

We loved everything about this B & B. Perhaps the only negative item (and it's not really a negative) was it's not accessible 24/7. Staff is on site from 8:00am - 8:00pm, but you can reach them if you have an issue.

Great location away from crowds. Easy walking to everything.

Beautifully decorated rooms, very comfortable beds and lovely shower room. Veronica and all the staff were so helpful and went above and beyond to make our short stay in Florence wonderful. We were given ideas of places to go off the beaten track and also excellent restaurant recommendations. Lovely breakfast delivered to your room. An absolutely superb place to stay.

Nothing it was amazing.

the decor was phenomenal, every room has a different vibe and theme. Staff were super friendly and helpful with lots of recommendations, its a 20 min walk to ponte vecchio. We had a wonderful experience here.

everything exceeded my expectations.

Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, comfy rooms The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient, the hotel was clean, spacious, the room was beyond comfortable and the location was perfect, within walking distance to attractions Our stay was exceptional!😍😍😍😍

This property was one of a kind—a true feast for the eyes! I have never stayed at a B&B with such incredible attention to interior details. Each room is unique, containing a custom selection of wallpaper, furniture, and fixtures. The bathrooms are relaxing & luxurious.

We were kindly greeted by Federico, who marked up a map of the city with his personal recommendations—restaurants, bars, museums, plazas, etc. Our departure from the city was a bit later than our checkout, and the staff carefully stored our bags for a few hours until it was time to depart from Florence.

The rooms came stocked with fresh bottled water (with additional waters in the hallways) and a mini bar in the fridge.

Nothing—my stay was absolutely perfect.

Everything

Let's start with the excellent communication before our landing from Giulio who was very patient to wait for us after working hours.
GiuliA was amazing and very helpful as well both on giving us a nice inputs about the city. As well as preparing our royality amazing delicious breakfast in bed (daily).
The theme of the hotel was extra ordinary and unique.
Also, it was so sweet of them to celebrate our anniversary with a cake, as well as giving us daily complementary minibar contants (without alcohol as per our rquest)

If you wish to have an extreme treatment then you must book with them.
Thank you guys for your hospitality and great memories as well as the gift on the way out (Florance made bag)

Well it's not a deal breaker, but the hotel located on a good route of a city bus, but you should be aware how to use it.

Lovely place to stay - bit out of the main area but not difficult to walk. Bonus they give you lots of free water bottles and mini bar. Very clean and quiet and our room was massive!

The whole team were amazing 😍, answered all questions, offered advice for places to go/visit. Very kind..
Beautiful decor.
Great location, close to the city but not too busy area.

The staff were fabulous and very helpful in giving advice on places to go and things to see. They kept the room wonderfully clean.

The staff was great and helpful.
Got an upgrade as well so had a very nice spacious room.
The recommendations sent by the hotel for Florence were also a very nice touch

The shampoo and hand soap is very watery

Exceptional attention to detail to make for a memorable experience. Warm and welcoming hospitality.

The hotel is divine - so beautifully styled and the staff warm and knowledgeable and the epitome of good hospitality - we could have stayed in our beautiful room for weeks!

No issues with the stay - only the extreme, unseasonal heat, which was beyond control.

The location is perfect. It’s close to everywhere we wanted to visit. The room was clean, hosts were friendly, and breakfast was fantastic!

Nono

It’s a beautiful property made with lots of love and attention to detail. Veronica and her team were too kind and helpful throughout our stay. Would highly recommend anyone visiting Florence to stay with them.

And bonus for anyone who appreciates good design - they were recently featured on the front page of Architecture Digest!

Had an amazing experience staying here for our honeymoon. The rooms are impeccable, smell amazing and comfy. The staff are friendly and welcoming and provide a fountain of knowledge and places to try.

Everything was great, it was just a little further out but still in walking distance to everything

The place is absolutely beautiful! It feels like home! Very comfortable room, great service (breakfast delivered to your room!)- very kind staff. No cons at all!!!

No such thing!

Amazing decor, comfortable room, lovely staff

A beautifully curated space with careful attention to every detail. The staff exceptional and helped make our trip to Florence fantastic.If you want to feel like a local, stay here.

Nothing.

This hotel is beautiful! I love the design of the rooms and throughout. Really helpful staff too. Enjoyed the complimentary drinks on our balcony 👍🏻

It's on the outskirts of the old town so could be a bit more central but it's a lovely walk along the River Arno to get into the historic centre.

Absolutely stunning! We arrived late and were greeted and taken to the gorgeous reception floor and given a really helpful list of places to go and things to do. We were then taken to our room which was just beautiful. The decorations and furnishings are all amazing, super comfortable bed, stylish bathroom with lovely rainfall shower, complimentary drinks in the minibar… everything was above and beyond.The location was right beside a tram stop but everywhere is walkable and it’s only 5 minutes to a couple of lovely places for breakfast and then another couple minutes and you can walk along the river to the old town and to Ponte Vecchio. We are definitely planning to return.

the hotel interior was amazing and great attention to detail. My room was also beautiful and a mini bar of drinks (mainly soft drinks) complimentary with a big bottle of water daily and more provided in the hall if needed. The staff were so helpful, could not do enough even before the stay we had quick replies to our emails regarding what to see and where to eat etc. I will recommend this to my friends and be back soon

nothing

Everything was great but the interiors shall be the first on my compliment bullets. The place is beautiful and feels very homie! Breakfast is also very yummy (especially the croissants)! Federico is also super helpful with all his instructions from getting to the place to parking to recommendations around the city. Parking is only a minute walk away and very convenient. The place is located more on the edge of the city so it offers a more peaceful vibe but nevertheless it is only a short walk to the city center.

We liked everything!

Such an amazing stay. Staff were so helpful and the hotel is beautiful, the most amazing decor

Loved the rooms and the lovely staff who couldn’t be more helpful

Nothing not to like!

everything in the property amazing i like everything and if i want back i will choose it again

Exceptional Stay in Florence!

I had an absolutely amazing experience at this hotel! Everything was beyond expectations—impeccable service, a stunning atmosphere, and an incredibly helpful staff. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and assisted with everything I needed. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and provided a perfect balance of comfort and elegance.

The location was ideal, making it easy to explore the heart of Florence. Every staff member I encountered was kind, professional, and eager to make my stay memorable.

I truly appreciate the hospitality and attention to detail. This hotel made my trip unforgettable, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommended!

Thanks Maryline , you’re the best 😍

Very fun & funky rooms, staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful, lots of books about the area lying around, very easy to find, great communication.

It's a little bit offthe beaten track, bit not so much that it would stop me staying again
