Katia and Fulvio run a beautiful B&B 10 minutes outside the famous San Giminiano. We arrived at 12pm- our room was ready- clean, comfortable with a great shower. Off to San Giminiano for Gelato from the main square (try Gorgonzola and nut!! Delicioso). Back for our amazing cookery class where we prepared supper. 6 courses!!! Easy, fun and lovely way... More

Fantastic experience with real Italian hospitality. We did the intermediate cooking class and had a great time. I recommend not eating much before the class as you will definitely not go home hungry. Fulvio and his wife were very friendly and truly interested in sharing our cultures. It was great at the end of the class just to sit overlooking... More

We stayed at Il Vicario and took the beginner cooking class followed the next day by the intermediate cooking class in November. What a treat! First of all the location was beautiful. Right in the heart of Tuscany amongst little country roads, rolling hills, and vineyards with snow capped mountains peaking through in the distance (although you definately need a... More

I visited Katia and Fulvio in October with my mother, and we had a wonderful time. We took a cooking class with a fabulous group of folks-- great food, great conversation, and we learned a lot! I just made the bruschetta and garlic pasta sauce for dinner, and my fiance (who LOVES pasta) said it's the best he's ever had.... More

What can I say?? Everything that is marvelous and wonderful has already been said! However, after returning again to Il Vicario this September, this time with 4 great friends, again this was a highlight of our tour!! The first time I stumbled across this little oasis in Tuscany was in 2005, and whilst we live 28 hours of flights away,... More

My husband and I found Il Vicario by looking for a cooking school while we visited San Gimignano. We spent a delightful afternoon learning to make pasta, sauces, crostini and chicken saltimboca. There were five of us and Katia and her Uncle Fulvio enchanted us with their perspective on Italian cooking. So many things we learned, like onion or garlic... More

We've been only one night in Il Vicario and it was enough. The welcome was friendly and generous, the owner is helpful and nice, and the view is great but the room was poor. We've pay more than we usually pay and got much less. The wifi didn't work well. The room was average, but the bathroom was squashed into... More

You will need a vehicle if you stay at this B&B, which we heartily recommend. Our room was large and had sensational views of Tuscany from every window. Fulvio greeted us with a glass of wine which was just what we needed. Fulvio and Katia welcomed us like family, and were really helpful in suggesting things to do and places... More
