AdAstra Florence is a boutique hotel in the Oltrarno district of Florence, the authentic artisan neighbourhood on the south bank of the Arno River that is home to traditional workshops of goldsmiths, furniture restorers, leatherworkers, and craftspeople. The hotel occupies a historic building with 16 individually designed rooms, each furnished with local artwork and craft objects sourced from the surrounding Oltrarno neighbourhood.

Free buffet breakfast is included in the room rate. Air conditioning, free WiFi, concierge service, and bike rental complete the amenity set. The Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace are 5-10 minutes on foot; the Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery are approximately 10 minutes away. Rates range from approximately EUR 200 to 350 per night. AdAstra is part of a small family of boutique Oltrarno properties also including Soprarno Suites.
