Riva Lofts
Getting there
- Planes Riva Lofts is just 15 minutes by taxi from Florence (Amerigo Vespucci, or Peretola) Airport, but you’ll have a greater choice of airlines from the UK if you fly to Pisa (Galileo Galilei) Airport. There’s a direct train from Pisa Airport to Santa Maria Novella train station in the centre of Florence, and then it’s just a short taxi drive to Riva Lofts (around €10). Alternatively, the hotel offers airport transfer by shuttle or limousine for €50 each way.
- Trains Florence’s Santa Maria Novella train station (which can be found centrally, behind the piazza of the same name) is a 15-minute drive from Riva Lofts. The busy station offers connections with the rest of Italy and Europe; you can get to Rome and back in a day, and it takes less than three hours to get to Milan.
- Automobiles This idyllic retreat is 40 minutes’ walk from the bustle of central Florence, but you can book taxis at reception, and for the ultimate in two-wheeled style, hire one of the hotel’s vintage bicycles for free. A car will be useful if you plan to venture further afield in surrounding Tuscany; pick one up at the airport, and park for free at Riva Lofts.
