We cannot say enough about Fulvio, his niece, and this delightful inn. My husband and I enjoyed every moment there and much of that is due to Fulvio himself. Every morning he would serve a terrific breakfast and help us plan our day. He made phone calls for us, got us tickets to see the David in Florence, and arranged... More

Spent a single night as part of a self drive tour around Tuscany. Absolutely everything good written about Il Vicario proved to be true. Without SAT NAV the drive in was tricky but following the sign posts for Ulignano just after car parks 3/4 at San Gim then left at the sign for San Benedetto. Highlight was the shared dinner... More

My daughter has already written a review but I could not let my chance go past - we travelled in a motorhome, myself and my 3 adult children - my daughter had arranged this from Australia by email. From the moment we drove in Fulvio was waiting for us with a smile, a joke and lots of laughter. A beautiful... More

Situated in the beautiful tuscan hills, just a 45 minutes walk to San Gimignano: After 2,5 days in Florence, we found this little home for our 5 days vacation in the tuscan countryside. "Il Vicario"'s owner Fulvio is a very friendly host. Just arrived we started with a glass of wine before thinking about room and luggage. Together with him... More

We were a family of four adults, Mum, brother, sister and myself travelling through italy and on our way back to Munich with a motorhome! When we arrived, Fulvio was outside already to greet us and to show us where to park. We were then led inside to the dining room and given a wonderful glass of wine before being... More

We arrived at Il Vicario after reading about others first hand experience of the natural beauty of the area and of course the Tuscan cooking experience. Well... we werent let down! We absolutely loved it!! Both Fulvio ad Katia are wonderful hosts and it felt like staying with fabulous family, instead of just staying at a B&B. The view from... More

Wow! This was an amazing place and so much more than a B&B. We arrived here on our first leg of a trip around Tuscany. It was picture perfect to look at and as we arrived were greeted by Falvio and Katia like old friends with a glass of wine. We sat down with a glass of wine, in the... More

We recently had a wedding in San Gimignano and as one of the activities about 18 of our guests piled into Il Vicario for a cooking lesson. Fulvio and Katia were un phased by our constant number changes and late arrivals and took the time to mingle with each of our guests, ensuring they were all having a good time.... More

We did not stay at the inn however did arrange a half day cooking class and it was the highlight of our trip. The food was plentiful and delicious and by far the best tasting food we had on our 2 week tour of Italy. Katia and Fulvio are great hosts, very warm and welcoming and obviously greet cooks! They...
