My wife and I had our honeymoon in Florence and we treated ourselves to Borgo San Iacopo, and it was an experience we won't forget. Their hospitality is out of the world, and our experience was made special thanks to Marco, Simone, and Sara. The food was fantastic and the wine pairing with it was perfect.
Borgo San Iacopo feels like the backstage corridor to Ponte Vecchio. One block off the river, the street runs tight between stone towers and post-war stand-ins, a cross-section of everything Florence has been made to survive. It takes its name from San Jacopo Soprarno, an old riverside church, and from the families who once lived in these vertical houses: Barbadori, Belfredelli, Rossi-Cerchi. In 1944 most of the borgo was blown open by German mines; what you see now is a stitched-together street, with patched façades keyed to the height and colour of the towers that remained. Ground level is all present tense – apartments, boutiques, trattorias and a fine-dining room looking back to the Arno.
Beautiful like all the historic center of Florence, but extremely busy with pedestrians, cars and motorcycles, even in September, early autumn. Impossible to walk around slowly seeing the sights with due attention. Overwhelming.
Award winning pizza. Lives up to the hype. A definite recommend. Coo
Cramped and enclosed, and a hive of activity as I strolled through, had to take a couple of snaps of the scenes.
