We stayed here for 3 nights in September and i can't say enough good things about Riva Lofts. The staff were incredible and so helpful, nothing was too much of a problem. Alice went out of her way to help us with anything whilst we were staying there. Also we had a car and there were no problems with parking... more

While you are about 10 minutes outside of city center, staying at this oasis is worth it. Room number 3 which we stayed in was a duplex that offered a nice space that was as relaxing as a spa. The staff, Maria in particular, offers great recommendations for food and you can use the bikes at the hotel for free... more

We stayed 4 days at Riva Lofts with 4 friends to kick off our honeymoon. Riva Lofts was a perfect mix of luxury, modern and comfort. The large common area was ideal for late night piano playing and wine drinking, and even better for a cozy breakfast in the morning. The rooms were spotless and the huge jacuzzi bath did... more

My wife and I spent 3 nights here for my 40th and our 10th wedding anniversary and what a memorable stay it was. We loved everything about the place especially how we were looked after by Alice, the owner. Nothing was too difficult for her, as she sorted out wonderful "un-touristy" restuarants, booked the Uffizi Gallery for us before we... more

We have just stayed for 4 days at Riva and would have loved to stay more. This is one of the most wonderful places we have ever stayed. The owner, Alice, and rest of the staff are truly wonderful and do everything they can ti ensure that your stay is perfect. We had room 8 - own entrance (as all... more

The description of the hotel is that it is a bit out of the center of Florence. But it is a 30 - 40 minutes walk to the center. There is NOTHING near the hotel including any dining options. So everything is a 10euro taxi ride into Florence. This is the biggest negative. The positives are that the hotel is... more

Riva Lofts is a fantastic place to stay if your visiting Florence. Its about a 15 minute walk from the centre of town set in a quiet street which backs onto the river. The number one selling point has to be its design, its so stylish, it looks like something straight out of vogue. The rooms are large, very clean... more

It's frankly difficult to imagine a more perfect place to stay in Florence. The elegance of its design and the beauty of the setting would alone make this place remarkable, but you add the rare energy and flat-out coolness of its owner, alice, and the place is one of the most compelling in all of europe, an oasis of modern... more

Just returned from a two week tour of Italy. The best part of the trip was our stay at the Riva Lofts. The location is a 10-15 euro trip from the train station and that was about the only negative. The grounds are amazing. The staff was always there to help with recommendations. The room was perfect and very clean.... more
