Riva Lofts Florence - A Riverside Design Hotel with Pool, Garden, and Vintage Bikes

Located on the left bank of the Arno, this intimate Florence hotel features stone-walled common areas and designer lofts created by architect Claudio Nardi. The main building houses a lounge with cross vaults, library, and fireplace, plus a glass window overlooking the white sandstone pool and private garden. Breakfast includes fresh brioche, fruit salad, Tuscan ham, local Mugello butter, and made-to-order eggs served at a communal table with vintage china. The property offers cooking classes with resident chef Michele, private yoga sessions, and vintage bikes for exploring. Riva Lofts provides kitchenettes in each unit and accommodates business events for 4-40 people with Wi-Fi and projection equipment. The Paolo Uccello tram stop sits 656.2 ft away, connecting to Santa Maria Novella station in minutes.

Pros

“Riva Lofts Florence stands out with its unique loft-style apartments and artistic decor, crafted by Claudio Nardi; the leafy green gardens and outdoor pool offer a tranquil escape from the city bustle. Personalized cooking classes add an authentic touch, setting it apart from typical stays; plus, it's well-connected via public transport. A true gem for those seeking a bespoke Florentine experience.”
