Ribs lofts is a lovely oasis after the crowds of Florence… it is a great walk (or tram) by the Arno into the city centre. Excellent breakfast & dinner at the hotel as well as local options. The shared areas make it feel more like you are staying at a lovely home rather than a hotel. The staff were helpful & warm.

“Beautiful room, lovely breakfast.”
Little oasis tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. So nice to have access to the beautiful garden - one of the most gorgeous beds we’ve ever stayed in and the aesthetic of the room was stunning (we even got an upgrade on arrival).

It's like a sanctuary in a small city. The common area, the garden. It's like a home. You feel at peace and secured.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful stay at Riva Lofts – stunning pool, five-star breakfast and dinner, and the friendliest staff!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the most incredible stay at Riva Lofts. The property is absolutely beautiful – stylish, peaceful, and set right on the banks of the Arno. It feels like a calm oasis away from the busy city, yet still close enough to walk, bike, or take a quick tram ride into the heart of Florence. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The garden and pool area were stunning, the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Breakfast each morning was delicious, with fresh options and the chance to enjoy it outside in the lovely courtyard. We also enjoyed dinner at Riva Kitchens during our stay, and it was truly five-star, the food was excellent, and the staff were so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Riva Lofts is truly a special place, tranquil and stylish, and couldn’t recommend it more highly

“Amazing!”
We truly enjoyed our 8-day stay here. The room had everything we needed and the breakfast was delicious. You can order scrambled eggs and pancakes, which I really appreciated because it helps reduce food waste. Every morning, the staff personally asked if we would like to have coffee, which made breakfast feel extra warm and welcoming. The property has a beautiful garden with a lovely swimming pool, which made our stay even more relaxing. All of the staff were friendly and very helpful. The ladies at the reception did everything they could to make us feel welcome. When we arrived, we were given a short tour, and we could always go to them with any questions. We also had dinner here one evening and it was a lovely experience: tasty food, good wine, and it was fun to have a quick chat with the chef. He is clearly passionate about his work and makes the most amazing gelato. For anyone planning a longer stay in Florence, this is a great place to stay. The city center is about a 30-minute walk, but you can also use public transport or the free bikes. There is also a secure parking garage just a few minutes’ walk away for an additional fee. We had a fantastic time here and would recommend this place to everyone!

“Perfect accom in Florence. Free bikes to get into the city in 10min and a quiet outdoor area to relax at”
Great hotel! Lovely room, lovely quiet outdoor courtyard with grass, beds and a pool. Very quiet and peaceful outside the main tourist area. They had free bikes which made getting into the city a 10min easy cycle along the river.

“A calm oasis close to the city centre”
A wonderful location close to the city centre, but away from the hustle and bustle, right on the banks of the Arno. A very comfortable room with everything we needed, and lovely big outdoor area with lots of seating areas and a beautiful pool. Breakfast was also very good, with the option to sit inside or out. The staff were very pleasant and helpful - we had an excellent stay and would not hesitate to return.

“Way better than we expected, due mainly to the excellent staff, Thankyou, we hope to come back one day!”
Everything, particularly the staff - Elena went out of her way to to help us when desperately needed! (bag including passport left in a taxi !) Cannot fault this place, we could have stayed by the pool for days 😎

Wonderful four night stay at this great hotel just off the centre of Florence but within easy reach of the centre. Very relaxed with professional, attentive and friendly service by all the staff at the hotel. The garden and pool area is perfect for winding down following the sightseeing of this amazing city. Great breakfast, and I would certainly recommend the restaurant for both a light lunch and an excellent dinner. The river and park walks close by added to our relaxed stay! We are looking forward to visiting again next year, really wonderful hotel!
