We stayed two nights at Il Vicario in the fall. We received excellent directions from Katia to the hotel. Good directions are a must to fiind almost any place in the countryside! The hotel itself was about a five minute drive from San Gimignano, making it a good base for sight-seeing there. The host, Fulvio, was full of suggestions for... more

Our room was simply and tastefully furnished in harmony with the age and style of the house and outside there was plenty of room to be on our own... more

I stayed here with two friends for a short break and we really enjoyed our stay. Fulvio and Katia were very welcoming. The location is great, just a short drive from the town of San Gimignano. The pool is lovely with fantastic views of the town's towers and surrounding countryside. Katia gave us a lesson in Tuscan cooking while Fulvio... more
