It would have been absolutely perfect if there was more of a view of the countryside from our room or the patio.

A picturesque historic vicarage, just 10 minutes from San Gimignano. The room was cozy, the breakfast had lots of fresh food, juice, and coffee. The owner was very friendly and gave us great suggestions for activities. We also took the cooking class, which was great fun and great dishes

Length of our stay

Katia and Fulvio were the best hosts we ever had. Very helpful and we felt like at home. We took a cooking class, that we read is best in the area, and it was true. Food we made was so simple yet so delicious and previous to that my only achievement was to make a good sandwich and not to burn water. The area is like from Italian movie, nice and quiet and fairly close to everything around, if you planning to see other Tuscan cities. They will give you tips of the places you should go and see and car parks, so you don't have to walk far

We stayed for one night and did the advanced cooking class with Katia. The class was amazing and the hotel was very nice in a beautiful location. Breakfast was delicious and generous, and included cappuccino and scrambled eggs. We wished we stayed longer!

Too bad we couldn't stay longer 🙂

Very friendly owners! We were warm welcomed with a glass of Vernaccia wine. At night we had the most wonderful dinner here for a good price: you should definitely stay and eat here!!! Also very good breakfast. Nice room with airconditioning. Excellent base for exploring San Gimignano and surroundings.

Il Vicario is amazing and authentic place. Katia and Fulvio are nice and kind hosts. The location is perfect, if you want to organize daily tours around in Toscana. Fulvio gives you the best tricks and tips to find always the best parking places, sight sightseeings, directions. The cooking class is amazing, breakfast, atmosphere and rooms are perfect. Don't forget to buy some olive oil from them. We will come back ones :)

We’ve liked everything. The property is a historical mansion build in 1300, very well preserved, cosy and clean. It’s location is perfect if you want to visit the main cities of Tuscany and medieval localities such as San Gimignano (10-min drive), Volterra or Monteriggioni, but in the same time staying in a beautiful location surrounded by olive trees and vine plantations. The owner, Fulvio was the nicest host and a great chef. The dinner he prepared was super delicious, being used local ingredients, and for each dish, local wine was also served. You must eat here and have this experience.

The location is very good, with beautifull views. But the most wondefull was our host. He made us feel the taste of Toscany.

We felt as if we came to the family for a holiday. Katia and Fulvio are like good uncle and the best cousin - warm, welcoming, friendly and helpfuly. They both speak great English. This place is in a great location, in the countryside, but it is very quick and easy to take the main road and be in San Gimigiano in 6 minutes. There is very nice private swimming pool for guests with sun loungers between olive trees. Everything was perfect but the thing that sets this place real unique is the food! In the evening, you can enjoy a delicious dinner prepared from local produce by the hosts (you'd better spare yourself and come hungry:) Definitely you can't miss it! We will come back here for sure. Thank you once again Katia and Fulvio and see you next time in beautiful Toscany.

Everything was fine.

The hosts are very nice and friendly. The rooms are cozy and very well furnished. If you are going to stay here you must try their dinner (four course meal paired with vine for each course).

Fulvio was very nice with us and came to show us the way to the location when our gps misguided us. He was also helpful when we needed advices for our trip. He owns a beautiful place in the middle of tuscany, perfect for recharging your batteries.

We liked a lot of things. But, what we liked the most is the host. He was very friendly, giving us usefull advice. I strongly recommend to eat in the place because the host is a great cook and his food is delicious.

Location, Rustic, Breakfast excellent,

As we were here in winter it was very dark and the windows are rather small. The light in the dinner/breakfast room was not very strong, it could have been more comfortable. The food was nice but unfortunately pretty cold already when we got it and the bread (dinner and breakfast) was a bit dry. From what we read here we expected more from the food (dinner as well as breakfast) but we only spent one night here so this is probably not representative!

Really cute little place in a wonderful surrounding. The owners were extremely kind and we felt very welcome. In the evening it was possible to book a home cooked dinner menu for 30€ per person which was a very fair price for four courses and different wines. The food was basic but tasty and they made a vegetarian option with no problem. The room was very warm and cosy, which is not natural in these old stone houses in winter! Plus, as it was located in the middle of the hills and vinyards, it was super quiet.
