AdAstra Suites

A stay in the marvelous AdAstra in the lovely Oltrarno is always one of the highlights of our trips to Italy. A stay in the beautiful villa with the magical garden is not to miss. We were particularly enchanted by our stay in one of the garden suites.

Convenient location walking distance to all the sights. Loved the concept of the hotel, but our room had no internet and the bathroom was cold due to old windows. However, main issue was a terrible smell in the entry area of the hotel. Breakfast was ok and service was excellent.

Diana and her colleague made this trip AMAZING! What fabulous customer service from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is in a beautiful setting in the gardens and our cottage was cute (although slightly quirky!). Breakfast was good, decor is lovely. Honestly, it was the care and help from the staff which was brilliant. 8 minute walk to the river past lovely restaurants, masses to choose from. We cycled in which was perfect as there was place to leave the bikes and we didn't have to cycle across the cobbles in Florence. Thank you!

Cannot wait to return.

There for business and enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra night...just magical and loved the history of the property, the kind and super knowledgeable staff and the authenticity of the Oltrarno area (with easy walks to the Ponte Vecchio and the tourist spots of Florence). Osteria del Cinghiale Bianca for dinner is a must! (make a rezzie though)

Absolutely beautiful property and Wonderful staff!

Great location in the less touristy part of Florence that is south of the River. Lots of great bars and restaurants in short walking distance. Loved our time in the shabby chic garden room - very quiet and woke up to the sound of birds every morning!

This is a trully special hotel. I highly recommend to experience this hotel as it is a perfect match for the city of Firenze.

Amazing unique place, great views and excellent service - went the extra mile to look after us. Though it is a short walk from town, would definitely recommend

We had an amazing stay at the Ad Astra. It's sort of an odd hybrid.... not a typical hotel, not quite a B'n'B, not exactly a boutique and yet all of the above. We loved the charm of the place... felt a little bit like old world elegance (especially with its location within the compound of a gorgeous walled garden) but with a pinch of modernity to it. The staff was absolutely wonderful and the breakfasts on the terrace overlooking the garden sublime. We jammed a lot of great stuff into our time in Florence, but this charming place might have been the highlight. Okay, Michelangelo's David was the biggest highlight, but this was a close second. p.s. even thought they're within the walls of the old city (ZTL zone), they were able to accommodate our rental car on the premises. Just reserve a spot ahead of your stay.
