Designed by Florentine architect Claudio Nardi, the striking nine-room Riva Lofts, in a refurbished nineteenth-century factory on the southern bank of the Arno, is a fresh counterpart to the city's more prevalent traditional design.
EXPERIENCE
Riva Lofts consists of nine suites, each with independent entrance and eight of which have kitchens. The suites differ in size from 30 to 100 m˛ (300 to 1000 sq ft) as well as in layout, some with private terraces, others opening directly onto the garden. A few have panoramic views toward the Parco or toward the imposing and elegant Cupola of Brunelleschi.
The fixtures and furnishings also offer different combinations of deep, warm natural colors and materials, of refined antiques and austere modernist objects, the sentimental trophies of travels, and select contemporary art. All guests have access to the large cross-vaulted sitting room with bookcases and fireplace overlooking the private garden and the metaphysical swimming pool in white sandstone.
Riva Lofts is situated along the Amo “rive gauche”, just opposite the historic Parco delle Cascine, which is reached by a short walk through a tranquil public garden along the banks. Is it located in a privileged position, a thirty minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio, the Stazione di Santa Maria Novella or the Fortezza da Basso and only two kilometers from the airport and Autostrada.
