After a long search for stays in Florence, we landed on AdAstra. The name means âto the starsâ in Latin which caught my attention, and it checked a couple of our boxes, having a large bathtub and being situated south of the Arno. We werenât quite sure that weâd have access to a terrace, but we did (in the Exclusive Double Room), and it was so lovely. We enjoyed absolutely everything about our stay, from the breakfast (continental and can get repetitive but is included in the stay, fresh, and includes cappuccino or whatever coffee drink youâd like) to the extraordinarily helpful staff, who were willing to help with everything (including dinner reservations). The property itself is beautiful beyond words and a mix of classic Florentine architecture and modern decor. There are books everywhere to pique your interest, in the room and common area. The area is relatively quiet and surrounded by lovely neighborhood restaurants; we ate at one restaurant in the more touristy area north of the river and decided that we would not do that again! We were always pleased to return to our little sanctuary after exploring Florence and Tuscany during the day. This place is simply amazing and I would absolutely stay again. Thanks AdAstra team for making our vacation unforgettable!
