Velona’s Jungle is a chic yet welcoming boutique hotel in the center of Florence, where guests can savor a unique style of luxury paired with a true passion for hospitality and the environment. Our ten suites are perfect for curious travelers who love discovering unusual and unforgettable accommodations, meeting warm local hosts, and experiencing the authentic side of Florence’s history, culture, and cuisine.
Velona’s Jungle is a designer oasis where many of the elegant objets d’art and furnishings date from the mid century, when the family’s patriarch Pasquale Velona – a respected Florentine art dealer – began collecting pieces during his travels in Italy and abroad. His fabulous finds from trips through Florence, Rome, Naples, London, Paris, and Vienna in the 1950’s were paired exquisitely with the prestigious antique and period furnishings from his gallery, creating a one-of-a-kind home.
Veronica and her mother Serena added to the original collection, carefully selecting works by contemporary artists, fabrics and decorative accents by favorite designers, and choice books and sculpture…each chosen with the same care and passion as the grandfather and together creating the eclectic whole that is now Velona’s Jungle.
True luxury travel is that which sustains local cultures and is based on an ethical and responsible style which guarantees that future generations of travelers will be able to enjoy the same beautiful land and cityscapes. At Velona’s Jungle Luxury Suites, we are passionate about sustainable travel which leaves the smallest possible impact on the environment, highlights authentic local experiences, and supports traditional cuisine.
We feature locally-sourced, organic 100% vegetarian products, recycle, encourage our guests to discover Florence by foot or bike and the surrounding region of Tuscany by train, and recommend shops, markets, and boutiques which carry local gourmet and artisan products and vintage treasures.
Each morning we serve a healthy and balanced breakfast with freshly-made vegan sweet and savory pastries and croissants so you’ll be ready to set off and explore Florence.
Our breakfast menu includes a number of delicious homemade selections, including freshly-mixed muesli, fruit juices, organic jams, cookies, and traditional Tuscan breakfast dishes with a modern, healthy twist.
Want to take it easy in the morning? No problem, we serve breakfast until noon!
