What a wonderful experience, staying at I Glicini!! This was our first time renting a villa in Tuscany and I can confidently say it exceeded all of our expectations! There were three of us: myself, my wife and my adult daughter. We stayed for one week as part of a three-week vacation in Italy and had the time of our lives here.
The villa was very spacious and well-appointed, with a lovely kitchen furnished with new appliances and plenty of space to cook and to eat (since I did most of the cooking for breakfast and lunch, this was very important to me!!). The rooms were very clean and all of the beds were very comfortable. Of the three weeks we spent in Italy on this vacation, this was, by far, the most restful sleeping experience. After the craziness of Rome, this was just what we needed!
Each day we enjoyed cooling off by the pool and walking around the property to take in the views. The outdoor patio dining area and bbq looked enticing, but due to the extreme heat in July we chose to eat indoors each day when we weren't dining in one of the many towns or cities within an easy drive of this place. Honestly, the location of this property is perfect as a central location for visiting many of the popular Tuscan destinations. There is also a charming small town within a 5 min. drive of the villa, Tavarnelle Val Di Pesa, to enjoy more local attractions and to pick up groceries and other necessities if desired. Very convenient.
Finally, this review must note the wonderful experience of dealing with the owners of the property. Lucia and Roberto were charming, friendly, delightfully informative, and very accommodating. They have done a remarkable job of creating this true oasis of fun and relaxation in the heart of the Chianti region. We will most definitely return to I Glicini!
