We had a great time in Cortona (and Italy overall) and loved the apartment. It is in a great location, feels very private, and includes a beautiful garden. Walking up the street for pastry and cappuccino each morning was great fun, and our restaurant meals were outstanding. We wished we had scheduled some more time to peacefully enjoy doing nothing...

We were greeted by Marzia who took us to this wonderful home which provided us with both privacy and convenience to the town of Cortona. The garden was lovely and a great place to read, have wine and cheese, and pass the time after a day of seeing the beautiful towns around the area. We were so pleased with every... More

We had the most wonderful time here. It was November and the weather wasn't great but once inside the door it didn't matter. The house was just lovely, warm and spotlessly clean. It is much bigger than we expected.. Cortona is a fabulous town with the most fantastic restaurants. It is a great place to explore Tuscany from and at... More

We just spent a week in Il Glicine and it was idyllic; the house was very comfortable, cozy and welcoming, tastefully furnished and equipped with everything we needed. An ideal locatiion base for exploring Cortona and the surrounding area. The garden was secluded and quiet: a perfect spot for catching some afternoon autumn sunshine with a drink and a book... More

It's difficult to imagine a more perfect vacation than the one we spent at this beautiful apartment. The owners treated us like family, and the location could not have been more spectacular. I could not recommend this place highly enough. If you plan to be anywhere near this part of Italy, don't bother looking anywhere else. It's the perfect place... More

We have rented several holiday homes in the past and they have all have been wonderful, however none can really compare with Il Glicine. Located right within the magical hill town of Cortona, behind a private walled garden, this holiday home is a peaceful oasis. The house, as others have mentioned, is much larger than expected. It is beautifully furnished... More

My husband and I stayed here for three weeks and it was wonderful. The place was very clean and bigger then expected. The bed was very comfortable Which is not always the case. We really liked HAVING an outside area to Have coffee and just relax. The kitchen was small and Adequate But Having a washing machine Was a plus.... More

Il Glicine is that rare thing - a really nice rental apartment (which feels more like a little house), literally minutes from the centre of Cortona. The cosy one-bedroom flat is charming and nicely equipped, but what makes it really special is the fabulous walled garden, where you can sit in complete privacy and relax after a day's sightseeing.

We've actually been back to Il Glicine three times because we love it so much. First of all it is a couple of minutes' gentle stroll from the shops and restaurants so it's easy; but the spacious garden is private and secluded, so you get the best of both worlds. The house itself is well-equipped, beautifully decorated and furnished, and... More
