We spent a lovely week in Il Glicine in August. Alessandro and his wife Marzia were extremely helpful. They provided a new travel cot and bedding for our little boy of 9 months. The apartment is very well equipped and clean. It is also very spacious so great for families and better than a hotel in many ways as you... More

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.

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
