This is a stand-out hotel, in a quiet location, near the river and a beautiful park. It’s easy to get into the city centre by tram, which is regular and reliable. Our room had a huge bed, which was unbelievably comfortable. The pool and garden area are a great addition and a place to relax and chill out. I’d happily return.

Only a minor point, but I would have liked some granola in the breakfast choices.

The property is absolutely stunning, the design aesthetic is incredible. We loved hanging out in the restaurant by the fireplace & in the garden by the pool. They gave us an upgrade for our loft so we had extra space for our baby, which was so thoughtful. They’d set up a cot & put in a nappy bin too. All the staff are super friendly and so helpful. Overall experience was really excellent and we’d definitely stay again!

It’s a 30 min walk into central Florence, but you can mostly walk along the river which is lovely. Just have to plan your day accordingly, or jump in cabs to save your feet!

Walkable location for the historic centre, next to the river. Very nice breakfast/dinner. Food was fabulous. Restaurant beautifully designed. Very helpful staff at reception.

The property could do with some maintenance. We were upgraded to a suite, which unfortunately had some issues. No outside aspect from the sitting area, two hard chairs to sit on to watch TV (no sofa), extractor needed updating in the bathroom as it felt damp in there. There was a balcony from the bedroom upstairs but this needed a good clean. Cushions and rug had been left outside which were sodden for the whole time we were there. Entrance lobby to the studios was damp - walls were wet. A lot of these issues can be rectified with some maintenance work. It would be a fabulous place to stay otherwise.

The atmosphere was wonderful. The receptionist was very welcoming & really assisted us during our stay. Fei was wonderful with her artful and therapeutic massage. The breakfast room was stunning.

It was raining and cold on the day of my massage. I was disappointed that there was no heated blanket or small space heater for my massage. A clear plastic curtain can easily be hung over the existing drapes to insulate the area for the massage to make the space warmer plus if a space heater was used, my experience would have been so much better. I was disappointed in the area that Fei must work during bad weather days.

Great little apartment / really nice selection at breakfast and served in a gorgeous room. The space was bright and airy. Shame our apartment was facing the main thoroughfare as we didn't feel comfortable having the light on in the bathroom when getting showered etc. There could also be more plugs in the kitchen; eg. if you want to use the kettle, you have to unplug something else!

As mentioned above, not having enough privacy when using the bathroom with the light on. Not enough plugs in the kitchen area. The mattress was a bit hard but not unacceptable. Use of a washing machine would be a plus but I appreciate that this is not essential to it being good accommodation. The location is very close to a well know 'drug avenue' so be aware!

Rooms are and the whole inner courtyard is very beautiful and peaceful. The pool is nice and the bar by the pool works during the day. Location is a bit off the center hassle, which we just considered a plus. Public transport or electric bikes are close by to get to the center easily.

Breakfast was typical for the area. It could include a bit more fresh items, scrambled eggs etc. All in all good, but not great. Just a basic breakfast.

Excellent setting providing an escape from the crowds. Spacious rooms with a kitchenette. Outdoor facilities, equally impressive with a large garden and pool. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fab breakfast too. It's about a 35 min walk into Florence. Very scenic along the river. If you don't fancy the walk, the tram stop is very close to the property with a very frequent service. You can also use the free vintage bikes provided by the accomodation.

Can't find a fault - it's great place to stay.

The design of the Riva lofts was exceptional! From the overall concept to all the little details. Even though it’s a tiny bit outside the historic centre, it’s just a gorgeous walk away or a few stops by tram. The stuff was super helpful. Especially the prepared recommendations for restaurants bars and other things is a special little extra. We can only recommend to have dinner in the amazing restaurant which is part of the Riva Lofts.

The beds were not too comfortable but that’s the only tiny little complain

Such a lovely property. Been coming to Florence regularly for decades. Almost impossible to get a property close to the city centre with a pool, making this a real one off in the summer - after a day in the heat of the city you can pop back and cool off. The bed was so comfortable I asked who made the mattress (the management kindly put me in touch). Breakfast was pretty good, and the tow lunches we had by the pool were excellent. I had stayed out of season before and the big room was a real plus, but it comes alive in summer because of the garden and the pool. The walk to the centre is a good way to walk off the big meals but the tram stop is very close, it's cheap and it takes you right to the station. You can therefore get from Florence airport to within a couple hundred metres of Riva Lofts by tram, with just one change at the station.

Honestly, there was nothing negative about the hotel or our experience.

We have stayed here several times as it is easy to park the car and walk or get the tram into Florence. The staff are all very friendly and helpful .There are plenty of good restauarants nearby. It is not far from the concert hall . You can borrow a bicycle if you want to cycle around Florence.

Nothing to really dislike.
