Star Service "Low off-season rates are a bargain, but even in high season the optimistic prices manage to eke out a sense of value. This old-school Italian inn is more engaging than it is elegant." Full review

"A hip, laid-back home-from-home with a house-party feel and a location that is as off-beat as the hotel itself." Full review
Jetsetter "Former artisan workshop turned meticulously designed nine-room hotel downstream from central Florence." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Part rustic bed and breakfast, part architect’s dream, Riva Lofts hotel is a welcoming rural property just 15 minutes from downtown Florence." Full review
Afar Magazine "The studio, just 15 minutes outside Florence, now doubles as a relaxed guesthouse and collection of lofts." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This urban retreat, where staircases seem to float midair, soothing creams pair with mid-century furniture...the intimate garden and pool are a haven from the city"
