Antelux Firenze

Introducing Antelux Firenze, our two brand new apartments located in the same building as the famous Window to the Duomo and our exclusive Astrum Penthouse.

These boutique suites are set in the oldest part of this historical building from the 1200’s. They can host up to 4 guests each, with the option to combine the two into an open space for up to 8 guests!

South Wing: This beauty features two double bedrooms facing the Duomo, one bathroom, and one living room plus a kitchenette facing the baptistery. The most unique feature: a GORGEOUS private balcony connecting the master bedroom with the living room.

North Wing: This spacious place has two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, a second full bathroom, and a large dining room with a fully equipped food-lovers kitchen! Dine in Tuscan style on a table for up to 8 people overlooking the Duomo!

Both apartments are divided by a 42db soundproof flush-to-wall door that can be opened upon request if both apartments are rented together.

The renovations are ran by our design studio. Special efforts have been made to uncover and restore the frescoes, serene stone, and ancient bricks found hidden under the walls and ceiling for centuries.

Every single room is designed by artist Danella Lucioni, featuring unique art by her and local artisans, elegant Italian antiques from the 1800’s, as well as some furniture and doors handcrafted by Danella with the materials salvaged from the renovations or sourced from local olive wood farms.

Antelux South is now open for bookings! Antelux North is expected to launch in December 2021.

I want to remember the sunshine. The birds replacing the sound of people. The bells echoing in the Piazza like never before. But we will never forget the sound of the sirens rushing by to take a patient to the hospital. The sound of silence. All the
New Year’s Eve pre-2020 vs New Year’s Eve during a pandemic. The first photo is of my very first New Year’s Eve from my window, December 31st, 2013. And now we are here. I can’t wait to see where 2021 takes us all. Sending
December 2019, when the world was a different place. I know I took my health for granted, now I’m thankful everyday I can breathe. Hugs. Blowing on birthday cakes. What did you use to take for granted until this year? 📸 @girlgoneabroad

Cheers to making it it through December and almost (almost!) through 2020! We can do this! Keep your loved ones close (but not *too*close!) 🤍 💃 @federicaemanuelafaraci
When an artist comes to the studio for her sabbatical and makes gorgeous art! And she even takes a really good picture of it 🥰 Say hi to Roxy @rxyng and follow her journey ♥️ She’s an American living in France, and just began a sabbati
This photo makes me smile so much ♥️ 📸💃 @creativeroamers 🐈 @the.florence.kitty
One of my favorite humans. If you’ve ever been lucky to have met him, you’d know why. He pestered me until I made this account for the studio, almost 3 years ago! So any complaints please direct them his way 😂 Please show him some love
I took this photo last year. I would have never imagined everything that has happened since 2019 (um, especially the last 6 months!). It just makes me think that in the next year, anything, *A N Y T H I N G* is possible at this point! So, go ahea

If I’ve learnt anything from this pandemic, is to not take anything for granted. I am so thankful for @girlgoneabroad and that our paths crossed. I met this little lady not long ago, and her light, talent, and passion has inspired me so much.

Astrum Penthouse

This rustic and cozy 120sq meter home has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a gorgeous living room, spacious kitchen & dining area, and a private terrace with magnificent views of the Duomo and city. Sleeps up to 4 guests.

The exclusive & spacious Astrum Penthouse, with a private terrace and incredible views of Piazza Duomo. This entire top floor was as added in the 1600’s to the historical building as a veranda to do the laundry (in fact the donation coin receptacle is still in what is now the kitchen!).

Feel like living in an Italian cottage with terra-cotta floors, ancient stone arches, slanted wooden ceilings and skylights that bring the Duomo from every angle. A little Tuscan villa in the heart of downtown Florence for a true Tuscan experience: Red rooftops, lemon trees, and sunshine.

Astrum, in ancient Latin means “the star”. The Astrum Penthouse is filled with light, from the skylight windows and terrace you can see the stars at night from home, which is rare in Florence.

Sign up below and we’ll email you when the Penthouse reopens for Spring 2022 stays. It will also be available for shoots and private events!

La bella e la bella! 📸 @girlgoneabroad

@the.florence.kitty channeling some Enzo vibes
I haven’t posted here since before the pandemic. I was very sad and hopeless, because I thought I was going to have to give this dream place up. I had put so much love into transforming it and it was ready to go but the pandemic hit and it made
Can I just live in this little corner forever? (And yes, the olive trees are real!)
Found the original serene stone and metal rods in the walls, dating back to the 1400’s - 1600’s when this Penthouse was built! So decided to showcase them and make them part of the design 😍
Cozy Tuscan cabin vibes with a modern kick
Peace on the Florentine rooftops ♥️ Shot of @livia.effe by @leodanieli
Casual terrace lounging 😉 @federicaemanuelafaraci
Joanna @exercisewithextrafries definitely got her daily work out climbing up 91 steps in heels to get this view! 😊
The snuggle corner! Living room with sloped ceilings, 400-year-old wooden beams, and skylight windows with Duomo view.
The master bedroom with antique furniture, and a skylight window with Duomo view!
Jump in!
I never want to leave.
Got these beauties at the horticulture market and carried them up 5 flights of stairs. That’s true love right there.
Sunsets from the terrace. Florence, you keep doing what you’re doing...
The sunny Tuscan living room is coming along! Work in progress, need more lounging cushions and olive trees... 😊
