Location & Grounds
Il Rivalta sits directly on the Arno River at the base of the Santa Trinita bridge, less than a 3-minute walk from Ponte Vecchio. The hotel occupies a historic building with a tranquil courtyard and a rooftop terrace that offers 360-degree views of the Duomo and the Arno sunset. Guests reach the lobby through a winding path across the open courtyard, and the hotel provides a parking garage with valet service for €35 per night.
Rooms & Suites
All 23 rooms and suites are soundproof and equipped with air conditioning, satellite flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms with free toiletries and hairdryers. Some units feature fresco-painted ceilings, canopied beds, or Jacuzzi bathtubs, while river-view rooms offer direct sightlines to Ponte Vecchio. The hotel accommodates specific requests promptly, as demonstrated by moving guests to rooms with walk-in showers upon safety concerns.
Dining & Breakfast
The on-site restaurant L'Alfieri specializes in Tuscan cuisine and serves a daily buffet breakfast with organic foods, fresh fruits, focaccias, scrambled eggs, bacon, and prosecco. Breakfast can be taken on the rooftop terrace with river views, and the restaurant also offers a snack bar, special diet menus, and wine or champagne. Guests who check out before breakfast hours receive a packed to-go bag.
