Concierge "This former factory on the southern bank of the Arno was Nardi's private studio until he decided to turn it into one of Italy's most original design hotels."
Travel + Leisure "Take a Tuscan country house that just happens to be at the gates of Florence, renovate it with post-modern minimalist chic into eight studio apartments, and you have Riva Lofts." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This collection of self-contained suites overlooks the river on one side and the Cascine park on the other."
Condé Nast Traveler "Designed by Florentine architect Claudio Nardi, this striking eight-room property... is a fresh counterpart to the city’s more prevalent traditional design." Full review
The Telegraph7.0

Michelin Guide "Contemporary design by a well known architect and cosmopolitan art exhibited as if in a museum, are the ingredients of the uniqueness and fascination of this really "modern" hotel."
Concierge "The hotel is popular with fashion and film types, but don't worry: Regular tourists are tolerated too."
Travel + Leisure "Only a two-minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio, the 74-room Gallery Hotel Art is popular with members of the fashion industry thanks to its stylish interiors by local designer Michele Bönan." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The lobby and library of this eight-storey boutique hotel also double as a contemporary art gallery."
Star Service "A stone's throw from the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio, this stylish pioneer is wedged between its siblings (the streamlined all-suite Lungarno Suites and the newer, retro Continentale)." Full review
Rough Guide "In a small, quiet square a few paces from the Ponte Vecchio, this immensely stylish four-star is unlike any other hotel in central Florence."
Afar Magazine "The Gallery Hotel Art isn’t the flashiest stay, but it is the kind of place you can relax and unwind and feel like you aren’t living in the Renaissance days." Full review

Mr & Mrs Smith "Clean lines and minimalist interiors are a charming contrast to the flagstone streets and centuries-old architecture outside." Full review
