My husband and I were lucky enough to recently spend a month at Il Glicine for my 60th birthday. Our extended stay fulfilled a dream that we’ve had for a long time. Il Glicine/Cortona is a great location for day tripping throughout Tuscany and even parts of Umbria, Marche and Emilia Romagna. While we rented a car, it is not... More

Great location n perfect place to relax. Lovely garden and the house is so quiet and private. Cortona is beautiful and Our hosts Alessandro and Marzia are friendly helpful and hospitable in every way possible. We can't thank them enough.

So far, we have never seen Il Glicine. Our scheduled trip was disrupted by illness which totally refocused our attention from Tuscany. While I worked to cancel the many arrangements in place I was asked for a variety of documentation, forms, etc. But, when I wrote Alessandro, he replied with a kind note of concern for my wife and the...

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

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
