About

Il Rivalta - Place Of Charme

Il Rivalta - Place Of Charme occupies a prime Lungarno Corsini address, with the Arno flowing just outside and Ponte Vecchio a short walk away. This 4-star property belongs to the Alfieri Collezione and offers a blend of classic Florentine character and modern comforts. The rooftop sundeck is a quiet spot to watch the sun dip behind the city's domes, while the satellite flat-screen TVs and soundproofed rooms keep things fuss-free inside.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Prime riverside location — Set on Lungarno Corsini, the hotel is a short walk from Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi, and the Duomo. Guests consistently praise the convenience for sightseeing.
  • Rooms with views and comfort — Superior and suite categories offer river or city views, with many bathrooms featuring bathtubs. Reviewers highlight spacious, well-decorated rooms.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Central location can mean busy streets — Being on the Arno near major sights, expect street noise and crowds, especially in high season. Soundproofed rooms help, but light sleepers may notice.
  • Adults-only policy — This hotel does not accommodate children, so it may not suit families travelling with kids.
  • Parking is valet-only — While on-site parking exists, it's valet, which typically adds to the cost and requires advance coordination.
  • Price point for the class — Rates from GBP 137 per night – reasonable for 4-star central Florence, but value dips if you don't use the premium amenities.
