Il Vicario was by far the best B&B of our stay in Italy. Their friendly welcome and a glass of wine on the outdoor terrace was wonderful after a day of traveling there from Rome. The building was a restored vicarage from the 1300's and all the rooms were simply but comfortably decorated. The high point of our stay there was a dinner they prepared (25 euro/person - cheaper than most restaurants in the region) that turned out to be four courses, all of local produce, each with an accompanying local wine and all explained by our host, Fulvio. We can only hope to return there some day. Speaking of which, finding Il Vicario was no problem with a GPS, but would be quite a challenge with a map.

We stayed with Fulvio for the second time and again really enjoyed his hospitality. For an extra 25euro per person he cooked us a 4 course tuscan dinner incl. local wine that was absolutely phantastic. He is a great host and we certainly considered our stay there one of the highlights of our trip.

We traveled with another couple and we both found our rooms beautifully appointed. Alot of thought was given to the little extra details and comfort. But the meals were spectacular - most especially the dinner. We found the host and his niece wonderfully entertaining and accomodating.

We loved this place! Had a bit of trouble finding it, it's down a long shared driveway, but it was stunning. Beautiful surroundings, HUGE room - separate bedroom and lounge/kitchen. We were travelling with our toddler so the extra space was perfect. Excellent value. Such a welcome, they asked if they could prepare us dinner since we arrived late! Great breakfast. Wish we had booked an entire week, it was so relaxing.

Bathrooms are rather small, but this inconvenience is more than made up for by the host, Fulvio, who is extremely warm, helpful and welcoming. He and his sister are excellent cooks and offer dinner with wines for an additional reasonable fee. Tables, chairs and umbrellas are set up outside where we spent a lot of time. The weather was perfect in Sept. It's a very friendly place in a good location for day-tripping. If you've never been to San Gimignano it's only 10 minutes away. There is a pool and the B&B is surrounded by lovely views and quiet roads and fields. Breakfast is nothing special, but Fulvio was very accomodating when a guest requested something more. We would go back again.

If you are looking to stay at a small place with a very homey and welcoming feel then this is it. Very personalized service and they will cook what you like if you wish to stay to dinner. The bathrooms were very basic and could do with renovation but overall we were delighted with our visit there.

This place is away from the crowds and a delightful spot with great views across Tuscan countryside towards San Gimignano. If you are travelling by car this place is ideal as a base for exploring this part of Tuscany but there are walking/cycling routes running by so that we were easily able to go for an early morning walk from Il Vicario into the 'campagne'. The room was very comfortable and appropriately furnished with a rural feel.No air conditioning but we just flung open the window and draped across the diaphanous curtains to keep the minibeasts at bay - and the walls of the building are thick so the room retains a coolness throughout the day. The bed was big, with crisp clean, cool sheets and a delight to lie on. The bathroom and shower were good - plenty of hot water and room to wash/scrub etc in the shower. The use of the swimming pool is a great bonus. The breakfast (out on the terrace) was a generous plate of toast, patries , cakes and biscuits - washed down with fruit juice and coffee and for the one of us that doesn't drink the black stuff a big bottle of mineral water was produced in seconds - no problem, no fuss! The property address and location given on this website (Ulignano) is misleading - it is actually at Sant Andrea j about 3km north of San Gimignano - so locate it on a good quality map before going or phone for directions when in the area. All in all an enjoyable stay and good value for money - thoroughly recommended and would return.

Absolutely perfect. Great views from room and pool. Right in the heart of Tuscany. Also, a wonderful caretaker here. He is very nice, generous and very helpful in making plans in the area. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in this region.

Uno dei migliori posti dove io e la mia compagna abbiamo avuto il piacere di stare. Bellissimo dal punto di vista della locazione, dell'arredamento e della quiete in camera, senza aver nulla da ridire sui servizi o su qualsiasi cosa abbiamo avuto bisogno durante la nostra permanenza. Fulvio, il proprietario ci ha accolti come la tradizione dell'ospitalità toscana insegna, e di certo torneremo appena possibile.
