The place is ideal to make new friends and mix with people from all corners of the world. The owner is great entertainment. Mixed equally with all the guests. Fantastic knowledge of the area and made good suggestions of places to go to. Communicated in exteremely well in english.

If you are looking for a quiet place that is very central in Tuscany, Il Vicario is the place to be. The guest house is on a hilltop with breathtaking views of San Gimignano and the surrounding vineyards.
You can access the great towns like Siena, Lucca, Montalcino, Montupcino, Frenze and the Island of Elba by car within and hour of two.
The host is exteremely helpful and entertaining, and best of all it is great value for money. We will be going back

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Katia and Fulvio were wonderful hosts. Dinner was exceptional. We ate there twice. Breakfast also good. Very helpful with map directions and general information on sight seeing. Delightful place to stay. Wonderful views. We would certainly recommend to stay

very helpful with directions to taking car back to Florence airport. Organised for us to take car to airport instead of downtown Florence. Much better option

The owners were excellent, attentive and very helpful. Fulvio provided us with free snacks and wine!

The owners provided us with maps and the loan of guidebooks for our trips out along with excellent advice re the best restaurants etc.

A little basic but excellent value for money. I cannot compliment the hosts enough on their attentiveness.

Wonderful place to stay. Best host in our 6 weeks in Europe - helpful, engaging, fun. The dinners we shared with other guests were great. One of the best experiences I've had. Highly recommended. Great location and great facilities
Being greeted with a bottle of champagne in your room is a bonus.
...
A great way to have the Tuscan experience. Local knowledge of the host is invaluable and he offers to make phoncalls to organise things for you.
Compares very favourably cost wise with other places.

Everything was perfect.. 2 days in paradise !
...
It is possible to have dinner there, with wine from the property being served. Nice meals and not expensive compared to what you would pay elsewhere.
...
Very charming and cosy place, with a real cary and nice host. It's really a place where you have to stay ! But it'll be hard to leave when the end arrives.

Fulvio was a very energetic, enthusiastic, caring and generous host. And he makes excellent espresso! We'd like to thank him for helping to make our stay a memorable one.
...
A very convenient place from which to drive to Florence, Siena, Chianti etc. Also really good to be close to San Gimignano,a great place to go for dinner if you follow Fulvio's recommendations!

Fulvio and Katia were extremely helpful in recommending places to visit and to eat which greatly enhanced our enjoyment of the area. It was like having knowledgeable and cheerful local friends. Our rooms were spacious and spotless and we would definitely visit again.

Fulvio and Katia were exceptional hosts. THey provided an impromptu lunch although it was late afternoon and no other guests were eating. Very welcoming.
...
I highly recommend Il Vicario. For us, it was a base to see San Gimingnano and Florence, but we should have stayed more than 3 days. Fresh fruit at breakfast is most appreciated however we saw no grapes or olives despite growing everywhere.
...
This is rustic Tuscan accommodation in the making. There are still some things that will probably need to be improved like the plastic courtyard chairs and tables and the western 70's kitchen/living room in the apartment. However the quality of service from Fulvio and Katia cannot be overstated.

We saw the sign for parking by the pool but because there were cars parked in front of the small Il Vicario sign on the fence we found ourselves at the property next door ringing their bell and then proceeded to the next property on the right before we finally saw the sign for your property. A biger sign would have been most helpful plus a sign on the road to say Il Vicario ahead would have been helpful
...
our apartment was very spacious and comfortable and the view was magnificant
...
Fulvio was always helpful and friendly throughout our entire stay
...
You mention a tuscan dinner in your list of amenities but you could include some details such as that they are prepared from local food include wine are delicious and are very reasonably priced=usually served a t 8 pm but Fulvio will accommodate an earlier sitting if you wish..
...
our stay at Il vicario was everything we had hoped it would be. Fulvio and Katia were always very helpful with directions for our sightseeing. It is a quiet retreat in the beautful hills of Tuscany set amid the olive groves and vineyards. Driving to the hill towns is an adventure as the roads are windy and hilly.

Hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly - that made a difference after travelling for so long.
...
They provided us with a larger apartment style accommodation after i booked a 4 person room which they thought would be too cramped. they didn't even charge us extra for the very roomy apartment. Breakfast was generous, varied and very very good. The owners also suggested good restaurants in San Gimignano without receiving commissions - they simply suggested the best there was in their own opinion which was rather refreshing.
...
We were provided with drinks (juice, water, beer) on arrival and the host even gave us cut watermelon without prompting as we lazed by his pool. He did not charge us for these

Quiet, rustic place. Beautiful old building on a site with fantastic views over the hills. Good location for access to San Gimignano and Siena. Swimming pool very cold at this time of year!
