Concierge "Hotel L'Orologio is a two-minute walk away, and yet such is the compact geography of central Florence that you're in one of the city's most charming, historic, and tranquil piazzas."
Star Service "This place arrived on the scene with the kind of quality and attention to detail usually reserved for the Ferragamos' small cast of hip high-end hotels nearer the Arno." Full review
Fodor's "The owner of this quietly understated, elegant hotel has a real passion for watches, which is why he chose to name his hotel after them (and why you will see them in many places)." Full review

"This luxurious property, part of the Why The Best chain, is central to many of the city’s attractions, especially the Santa Maria Novella church." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"One of the city’s best four-star choices. A standout feature is the fourth-floor breakfast room with its bird’s-eye view of Piazza Santa Maria Novella." Full review
Lonely Planet "The type of seductive address James Bond would feel right at home in, this super-stylish hotel oozes panache." Full review
Frommer's "As the name suggests, this hotel is an homage to the clock, with historic timepiece designs scattered artfully about." Full review
Michelin Guide "A stylish and contemporary boutique hotel...it’s a high-end experience, to be sure, though not an entirely self-contained one; the lounge bar serves light fare all day." Full review

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
"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"
