Why Velona’s Jungle is the purest luxury good - Florence

Velona’s Jungle Luxury Suites is one of the most concrete examples of the concept of Slow Luxury in the italian hospitality scenario.
I'm the number one fan of Velona's since the day I first discovered it; I’m fan of Veronica and Mara, the two owners, cousins, who have put together their own family story, and turned it into a reality capable of inspiring anyone who is open to reading and understanding it!
Velona's Jungle has not always been a Boutique Hotel, it actually was the beloved grandfather's home, where Veronica and Mara spent countless Christmases, happy days, childhood and adolescence memories of such a precious life, that they could not let it go without honoring it and give it such a great purpose.

Mara and Veronica's grandfather was a visionary globetrotter; the objects of his stories are now part of the furniture of the Velona's Jungle, carefully studied down to the smallest detail; the combination of fabrics, pieces of art, antiquities and works of contemporary artists, create a union that gives individuality and balance between tradition and innovation; and everything is wrapped in an incredible China blue, which is currently one of my favourite shades!

The home of a grandfather who had so much to teach: the value of travel, discovery, open-mindedness, the beauty of culture, interest in details, curiosity and unconditional love applied to any moment of life.

That's it: Velona's Jungle is full of pure LOVE. ❤

A tropical nest in the center of Florence makes everybody grab a ticket and jump on a plane to those exotic vibes that reconnect the user with the most dreamy life and mother nature, opening the eyes on the real values we should always pursue! That’s actually part of the mission of the Velona’s, which has been featured in the most celebrated magazines about Veggie, Eco, Nature oriented hotellerie.

What if I told you that these themed tropical postcard-like suites have names? Durrel, Livingstone, Fossey and Darwin.
Four luxury suites bring the names of the most known wonderers and explorers. A common area that includes the entrance, the living room and a dining room where Mara and Veronica serve themselves a local, healthy and genuine breakfast to guests every morning, as if they were family members or friends.
A themed decor that represents a hymn to beauty and family history. You could spend hours observing every detail and reading its intrinsic stories, a spectacular mix with an exotic scent reminiscent of safaris in Africa, crossings in the East, European beauty and lots of love for the Florentine territory and everything it offers: from nature to food and wine, from craftsmanship to art.

Why Velona’s Jungle is the purest luxury good?

Experience, clear mission, inspiration, unique identity, history, process ... love. These are the elements that make, in my opinion, the Velona’s Jungle the purest sample of luxury good.
If you're still not tired of hearing this from me, I warmly invite you to seek authenticity around you, uniqueness, because it is from these that infinite possibilities are born to learn, grow and be better human beings.
