The Riva Del Sole Resort & Spa is a 60-year-old, beach-side, boutique hotel that is undergoing a renovation and restructuring by Eva Khoury, along with a local team. The Tuscany resort will have a prevailing sense of ‘Made in Italy’ throughout its ongoing remodel, transforming it into a modern, comfortable, and relaxing design.
Eva Khoury’s strength in her hospitality design is through the adaptability of the interiors. The design for Riva del Sole is malleable, appealing to all guests at the resort, whether they are visiting for a relaxing stay or immersing themselves in the history of the Tuscan Maremma. The design gives the hotel its distinctiveness whilst still respecting all safety regulations, and unaffecting it’s practicality of welcoming a wide range of guests. Though Eva’s designs are always unique, the interiors for this project in particular centres on reflecting it’s outside environment. Ensuring that guests do not feel enclosed, the designer wanted the interiors to radiate a connection to nature, particularly with the resort benefiting from a private beach and close-by pine forest. It’s this creative twist that makes Riva del Sole unlike any other hotel.
The entire project has been designed by Eva, covering the interiors of the suites, conference centre, and restaurants. Though a large scale project, attention is given to the finest details. Each piece of furniture, each door, bed and marble sinks were designed by Eva and crafted by the talented, local artisans working with her. Elegance is embedded in the design, and working with a local team provided Eva with the best handcrafted components to achieve her design vision of comfortable, nature-influenced luxury. The rooms are modern, relaxing, and opulent, offering guests a peaceful stay at Riva del Sol Resort & Spa.
