- Veronica's legendary WhatsApp city guide sent before arrival
- Vegan breakfast served in-suite that even carnivores rave about
Shikim i shpejtë: A quirky, immaculate design B&B that trades a central Duomo view for a quiet residential vibe—right next to a tram line.
Rishikuar nga @wander.licious: I was blown away by how unique this place is. Waking up to the Duomo view and then relaxing in a suite covered in jungle wallpaper was such a vibe. It feels like a secret art gallery that you actually get to sleep in. Truly one of my favorite stays in Italy.

FAQ & Këshilla të fshehura
Çdo gjë që do të dëshironit të dini para se të rezervoni
Is the breakfast really 100% vegan?
Yes, and it's famous. Expect homemade cakes, organic jams, and savory options, but no meat or dairy eggs.
How bad is the tram noise?
With windows closed, it's barely audible due to high-quality double glazing. With windows open, it's loud.
Is there an elevator?
Yes, the B&B is on the 3rd floor of a historic palazzo, and there is a lift.
Can I park my car there?
Valet parking is available for ~€35/day. Street parking is a nightmare; use the valet.
Is it good for families?
It is generally an adults-only or older-child vibe (14+ usually). Not suitable for toddlers.
How far is the train station?
Santa Maria Novella (SMN) is a 10-minute walk or one tram stop away.

5 gjëra që duhet të dini përpara se të niseni
💡The hotel is actually the converted family home of the owner's grandfather, an antique dealer.
💡You might find 'honey' in some toiletries despite the vegan branding (check labels if strict).
💡The entrance is through a large residential door that looks like an apartment building.
💡The 'jungle' theme isn't just wallpaper; it includes actual peacock feathers and leopard print chairs.
💡There is no night porter, so if you lose your key at 2am, you are in trouble.
