Riva Lofts

About Riva Lofts

Riva Lofts is a precious jewel nestled on the left bank of the Arno, just a stone’s throw from the Renaissance center of Florence.

The complex, characterized by a centuries-old history, was originally used as a factory from 1880, then later converted into artisan workshops, until eventually becoming the home-atelier of architect Claudio Nardi in 1999.

Thanks to its slightly secluded location, it offers guests the possibility to relax in an intimate, yet not isolated setting, and to peacefully appreciate an authentic atmosphere far from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Riva Lofts is an urban refuge in which to indulge in every last pleasure: in the summer, you can soak up the sun by the pool; in the winter, you can sit by the fire in the common lounge with stone walls. Alternatively, you can grab one of the vintage bikes, cross the Arno, and breathe in the clean air of the large "Parco delle Cascine", or perhaps lose yourself among the buildings of the historical city center.

Riva Lofts is an urban retreat both intimate and discreet, thanks to the level of service and meticulous attention afforded to all our guests, in an effort to satisfy their every whim and desire.

Where luxury goes hand in hand with hospitality and creates the relaxing atmosphere so typical of our lofts.
