Designer Lofts Overview
Riva Lofts Florence offers loft-style accommodations designed by architect Claudio Nardi, ranging from 30 to 100 square meters. Each loft features unique layouts with modern furnishings, kitchenettes, and views of the Arno River, Parco delle Cascine, or Florence's skyline. Options include Standard, Superior, and Deluxe lofts, some with additional beds. Common areas include a stone-walled lounge with a fireplace, a library, and a garden with a white sandstone pool.
Dining at Riva Kitchen
Riva Kitchen, led by chef Michele Berlendis, serves seasonal Tuscan and Italian dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu changes weekly based on local ingredients. Breakfast includes fresh bread, homemade cakes, Tuscan ham, and vegan options. Aperitifs and dinners are available in the lounge, garden, or by the pool. Cooking classes teach handmade pasta and traditional recipes, ending with a meal and wine pairing.
Activities and Wellness
Guests can book private yoga sessions in the lofts or garden. The nearby Parco delle Cascine offers running trails and bike rentals. Riva Lofts arranges private tours of Chianti vineyards, backstage passes for Maggio Fiorentino performances, and curated Florence experiences. The property also hosts weddings, photo shoots, and business meetings for up to 200 guests.
Location and Transport
Riva Lofts is on Via Baccio Bandinelli, 2 km from Florence's historic center. The Paolo Uccello tram stop (T1 line) is 200 meters away, with direct links to Santa Maria Novella Station and Peretola Airport (10 km). Key landmarks like Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti are a 30-minute walk or short tram ride. Free vintage bikes are provided for exploring.
Services and Extras
Staff provide maps and off-the-beaten-path recommendations for Florence's Oltrarno district. Services include an honesty bar, high-speed Wi-Fi, and garage parking (€15/night). Events feature custom catering, AV equipment, and garden or lounge venues. Unique offerings include supper baskets delivered to lofts and private drivers for Chianti tours.
“The loft-style accommodations feel both spacious and intimate, a difficult balance to strike. I particularly appreciate the swimming pool set amongst the gardens; it's rare to find such a tranquil escape so close to the city center. With personalized cooking classes and artistic decor, this hotel offers a distinctly Florentine experience.”

acceptable breakfastsautomatic air conditioninglate cleaning
the breakfasts were acceptable.
The air conditioning lacked a remote for temperature adjustments. The system seemed entirely automatic, which wasn't ideal. the cleaning staff didn't arrive until around 3 p.m., a rather late hour. availability of drinking water was inconvenient. You had to request a staff member to fill bottles with filtered water throughout the day.
