Marchese’s mansion
Explore
A top-floor-dwelling Marchese will be your neighbour at AdAstra, an 18th-century palazzo in Florence’s authentic Oltrarno district. His former family home has all the expected grandeur: chandeliers dangling from frescoed ceilings, glossy wooden floors and freestanding claw-foot bath tubs in every bedroom. Overlooking one of the biggest private gardens in Europe, the building adds to its heritage charms Italian design flourishes from the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies, and each room has its own quirks (framed scarves on the walls, faded football photographs, Lego constructions).
