Il Vicario

Such an amazing experience! Katia and Fulvio are such warm hosts and made learning to cook a Tuscan meal very fun. They were amazingly kind to the young children in our group, including them in all the cooking. A great experience for a big group. Their inn and cooking school are beautiful. Cannot recommend it enough!

We thoroughly enjoyed this cooking course. Fulvio was easily able to cater for gluten free and was very knowledgeable. Lovely fresh ingredients and attention to detail made a beautiful lunch with well matched wines. The following night were were easily able to recreate the pasta recipes and we will definitely be using them again. Fluvio made us feel welcome and gave us further ideas for things to do in the area.

We had another wonderful stay with Katia and Fulvio. The location, food , hospitality are beautiful. Simple relaxation with no distraction of noise and tv. We love it there and will always return. Prepare to be treated warmly and fed well ! !

We booked the Advanced Cooking Class and had a wonderful time with Fulvio! We spent an incredible evening preparing the dishes, learning about traditional Tuscan cuisine, and chatting about our lives. In the class, we prepared and ate two types of bruschetta, two pasta dishes, one main dish, and a dessert (each course served with wine). Afterwards, we were sent by email a copy of the recipes from the class (with a few bonus recipes). If you are looking for an authentic learning experience then we cannot recommend Il Vicario more highly.

Took a wonderful cooking class and met new friends. I absolutely loved the extra virgin olive oil that they produce and sell! Wonderful people!

Perfect hosts in a beautiful setting. Thank you for a memorable stay.

I attended the cooking class and can highly recommend it. I changed the dates 100 times, the owners were always patient and understanding and quick in replying. They are extraordinarily friendly and welcoming people. I'm sure also the b&b works well. The cooking class itself is very interesting, you eat what you cook, you learn genuine Italian cuisine, make an oil, cheese and wine degustation at the same time. Good value for money. They even have us some pasta in the end to take away. Highly recommended!

My friends and I stayed 4 days with Fulvio and Katia at Il Vicariò in October, and what a breath of Italian fresh air it was. The farm house is quaint, beautiful, and well maintained. We spent hours in the dining room talking with Fulvio about Italy and our Italian heritage. We had the best Italian cooking class with him, and learned so much from him about food and cooking. We had the pleasure of accompanying Katia to the olive grove, where we had adopted olive trees for our families. What joy and emotion to see the plaques on the trees that bore our family names forever ! The olive is by far best produced in Italy ! We have many shipments come to the USA throughout the year. We also spent a lovely day in the Chianti Region with Katia visiting some wonderful family owned vineyards. In the evenings, we chose to dine at Il Vicariò and observe Fulvio and his sister cook their wonderful recipes for us. We enjoyed our meals while conversing with guests from other countries. Il Vicario is an experience not to be missed. Grazie Mille Fulvio and Katia. We will return very soon !!!
