Adria Astella 704: country house on wheels

Adria Astella 704: country house on wheels

A caravan or a mobile home? Opinions differ about Adria's top model, but the philosophy behind the Adria Astella 704 is as simple as it is ingenious: a mobile holiday home, in 2021.

'As if caravans don't exist'. The design team of young designers was given this assignment when they came up with a mobile holiday home. The caravan and camper builder from Slovenia was clearly looking for a new concept for a new target group that thinks in solutions instead of problems.

Because why should you have an impressive tow car yourself if you can have the Adria Astella 704 placed at the location of your choice by the dealer? And why would you only enjoy that beautiful view for three weeks when you can enjoy it all year round? After all, flying with RyanAir is a matter of ten euros and therefore the whole family can take turns celebrating holidays with their own family. Not a crazy idea.

Exterior Astella

The Adria Astella is available in three versions, of which the 704 is the smallest, with a body length of 7,60 meters. The caravan is equipped with wind deflectors at the front that reduce air resistance - the caravan has even been extensively tested for this in the wind tunnel. The Astella also stands out because of the French doors in the living lounge and you can also choose this in the sleeping area. The tandem axle trailer has double wheels to carry the weight - a maximum of three tons. The roof and bottom have a polyester layer to protect against hail or splashing gravel and rainwater.

Division

The double doors in the living area take you straight into the corner kitchen at the front. The corian worktop has an integrated hob with three gas burners and a sink. The panoramic window above the kitchen allows plenty of daylight. There are spacious drawers for cooking utensils and the L-section has a gas oven and a large refrigerator with freezer compartment.

In the middle we see a spacious living lounge with upper cabinets that extend into the kitchen, with indirect lighting along the ceiling. A light frame with adjustable design spotlights is mounted in the middle of the ceiling. Opposite the lounge sofa we see a wall unit with a dresser and a place for the TV.

Towards the bedroom there is a separate toilet and bathroom with separate shower on either side. In the sleeping area, the queen bed is placed transversely - so you can get into bed on both sides. Next to both headboards we find wardrobes and integrated bedside tables. The back of the Astella also has a panoramic skylight for extra daylight. At the foot end you can choose a window or a second set of French doors.

Installations

The Astella is equipped with Alde liquid heating – this ensures comfortable warmth, especially during winter conditions. The Astella has a Bluetooth music system with built-in speakers and LED lighting all around. In addition to a gas oven and microwave, the Astella also has a 'city water connection' so that the caravan can be connected directly to the campsite's water network.

Conclusion

With the Astella showpiece, Adria is introducing a new concept: you can tow it yourself with a large SUV or have it transported by the dealer. The Astella is fully equipped and the materials and installations used make it suitable for a long and comfortable stay in the places of your choice - all year round.
