San Jacopino

San Jacopino is a residential neighbourhood north-west of the centre, between Porta al Prato and the Cascine park. It's an area of everyday Florentine life, with local shops, schools and services, away from the tourist flow yet a short distance from the historic centre and Santa Maria Novella station. The nearby Porta al Prato tram stops and the Cascine make it practical both for getting around and for free time. It suits families, professionals and students looking for spacious apartments in a convenient area.
