ECO URBAN B&B FLORENCE
Bed and breakfast in Florence centre sECOnd to none
Eco Urban B&B Florence awaits you on the 1st floor of a historic Florentine building, but don't let the facade deceive you... on the inside you’ll find 6 brand new rooms filled with eco conscious style and comfort, plus an exclusive outdoor space where you can relax and just get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city.
Everyday you will be able to enjoy our organic breakfast a la carte, catering to all our guests’ needs: a fresh mix of the classic and the unusual, with organic, gluten-free, vegetarian & vegan options among others.
Eco Urban B&B is more than a simple bed&breakfast! All our guests have access to the services of our partner hotel, located a stone's throw away: reception h24, concierge, luggage deposit.
Eco Urban B&B introduces a new take on the classic concept of an urban retreat. Just close the door behind to find yourself protected from the chaos of the city, surrounded by all the luxury made in Italy inspired by nature.
Thanks to the wooden furniture and accessories you can almost feel the rooms breathe, which makes for a perfect environment if you just want to relax.
Speaking of environment, since we think it's an important responsibility for everyone to protect it, we want to set an example and send a clear message that we care. Therefore, we made it a main theme of our B&B, using organic and recycled materials throughout the place.
Where
Our Eco Urban B&B is located in the heart of Florence, a couple minute walk from the Santa Maria Novella train station very close to most of the main attractions and transportation hubs: Piazza del Duomo, Galleria dell'Accademia, Piazza della Signoria, Fortezza da Basso.
Who
Eco Urban B&B Firenze takes life as another project of Serena & Michele, well established on the Florentine hotelier scene, partners both in business and in private life, ever hungry for new challenges and always willing to improve.
Why
The main idea behind this fresh new B&B is following the nature, and taking a responsible approach to what is used and how it is used within its walls. We go out of our way to only go for organic products whenever possible, be it for breakfast or for the guests' courtesy kit.
How
We opted for real/recycled wood furniture produced by local artisans, and made it so every room has a very distinct style and soul using different materials in each accommodation. After all, you can't spell “decor” without “eco”!
Our rooms
Each one of our six rooms breaths nature and personality. The wooden furniture and accessories, unique to every room, mingle with traditional Florentine ambience creating a fresh and relaxing environment where you can unwind and indulge in all the comfort, either after a long day of sightseeing or if you simply desire to sleep in and enjoy your free time.
