Our experience at Il Rivalta was nothing short of perfection. The property is located directly on the Arno River in the heart of the most vibrant part of town, with immediate walking access to most of the major tourist attractions of Firenze. The room was exceptional with a lovely view of the Arno, Ponte Vecchio, and some beautiful sunsets. The staff were extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Included breakfast was always outstanding, and the valet and taxi services were quick and efficient. Do not miss the rooftop terrace where you can see 360 views of the city (including the Duomo and the sunset) - we felt that this view was even competitive with Piazzale Michelangelo. Overall, exceptional way to start our first trip to Italia, and we look forward to returning to Firenze and staying at Il Rivalta in the future. Grazie mille!
