just returned from this lovely little hotel. It was quiet,clean with gorgeous views and huge fluffy towels. The staff were helpful and informative. The position was just right and all the sights were easily reached. We would go back again anytime if we could more

We have been travelling around Italy in June and found this little, but georgeous hotel in Florence. The staff is very friendly,. the rooms are small but tidy! What I really liked where "real" towels that you got in the River hotel (normaly, you juist get lousy towels in Italy,), they were soft and just great! they offer a breakfast... more

My husband and I spent four nights in the this quiet (for Florence) out-of-the-way hotel and had a lovely room with our own terrace overlooking the Arno. The room was comfortable, if not large, and modern. The bed was comfortable, the towels soft. The hotel staff was very helpful and always available and we invited half of them to come... more

The location was great, about a 10 minute walk from Santa Croce. There was a terrace on the top floor with amazing views of the south side of Florence.

The room was clean, pretty cold in temperature (the staff warned us about this), and the bed was comfortable... more

We booked our stay through a travel agent, but chose the hotel based on reviews on Tripadvisor. My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights from 6/20 to 6/22 for our honeymoon as the beginning of our trip to Europe. It was our first time to Italy and we had just arrived from Rome. After the 10 euro taxi... more
