Bed & breakfast in Italy

Bed and Breakfast Agriturismo La Lucciolaia in San Gimignano, Italia, ‘pinned’ on Pinterest by Bedandbreakfast.eu.

Do you have beautiful pictures of your bed & breakfast on Bedandbreakfast.eu? You can now place these pictures on the new, rapidly growing social network Pinterest, with little effort. This way, your bed & breakfast will be brought to the attention of even more people and you will be completely up to date with the latest internet hype.

What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is a large online pin board where you can ‘pin’ collections of pictures on a certain theme. These collections are called ‘mood boards’. On Pinterest you can create personal mood boards on themes you find interesting, such as: food, interior, art, sports, children or animals. Your mood boards are visible to other Pinterest users and in your turn, you can be inspired by browsing through pictures other people have posted.

Bedandbreakfast.eu on Pinterest
Bedandbreakfast.eu has various mood boards on the theme of bed & breakfast. You can view them on our Pinterest profile. We are constantly adding pictures. If you are a member of Pinterest, you can ‘follow’ us on Pinterest.com/bandbeurope.

Your B&B on Pinterest
Would you like to ‘pin’ pictures yourself and share them with others? You can easily create a Pinterest profile for your own bed & breakfast and thereby increase the findability of your B&B. This is how you create an account on Pinterest:

  1. Go to Pinterest.com/join/signup to register. If you already have a profile on Facebook or Twitter you can log on with the connecting username/password. If not, you can register by filling out your email address and a password. Fill out a username, for example (part) of the name of your bed & breakfast.
  2. Pinterest will now serve you with a ton of pictures. Click five (or more) pictures that have something to do with living, breakfast and sleeping and click ‘Continue’ or ‘Next’.
  3. Pinterest will now send you an email with a link. Open your email program, read the email and click on the link to verify your email address.

Now that your account has been verified, you can start filling your own mood boards with pictures of your bed and breakfast. Do you need help? Then we are happy to refer you to our action plan ‘Creating a mood board for your bed and breakfast on Pinterest’. Good luck!
