Frommer's "The friendly, skilled staff should make this hotel better known; word-of-mouth keeps it regularly full in pricey Florence, despite its refreshing low profile." 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"
