Les Glycines Vézelay

A perfect and delightful stay at Les Glycines which is well placed on the hill top historic village of Vezelay. The beautiful terrace leads to the well appointed hotel building where the reception was most welcoming and helpful. We had a small but, for us, perfect bedroom which was well fitted out and supported. The breakfast was plentiful and available in a pleasant setting. We had a memorable stay and already miss our stay at Vezelay.

The village, in particular the World Heritage Basilica was recommended to us. The village is small and very quaint sitting at the top of a hill with magnificent views across the countryside below. The hotel is a lovely old house in the heart of the village close to the Basilica. Parking is about a 3 minute walk away but you are welcome to drop off/pick up people/luggage at their door. Rooms are well equipped with comfortable beds and nice en-suites. This is a very old building and has a rustic charm about it. The person at reception was very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was buffet style and good with a selection of local cheeses, meats, some hot options, fresh bread and other bakery items. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant but there are plenty of options nearby although the options are more limited out of season.

Excellent location, right next to the Basilica. Very quiet, we could sleep with our windows open. Beautiful rooms (we had the Paul Claudel) in a beautiful, 18th century house. Liberté at the reception desk could not have been more helpful, both by email and in person. Everyone was lovely. My only reservation is that the (160cm) bed had a moderate dip in the middle, which made it harder for my husband and I to sleep because we had to keep ourselves from rolling towards the middle. On the whole, a lovely experience and truly lovely staff.

Lovely room & property. Welcoming hosts, English speakers, very helpful & kind. Beautiful breakfast! It is worth the fee, At evening that space becomes a bar for drinks & conversation. Great opportunity for meeting fellow travelers from all over. This was just delightful!

Beautiful old mansion near the Basilica. Top of a very steep high street in centre of an ancient walled town. UNESCO listed site. You can drive up to the hotel to drop off your bags outside but need to park in visitor car park about 300m away. Breakfast good in lovely old dining room. Room we had was small but comfortable. Could hear people in room above but ok.

It was a delight to stay at Les Glycines in Vezelay. Greeted by Liberte, we were welcomed and helped in both French and English. She was very patient and friendly, answering numerous questions. The staff as a whole are friendly and helpful. Our room was large and comfortable, clean and outfitted with amenities. We were located close the the Basilica which was our primary reason for coming to Vezelay although we enjoyed a meal at SY La Terasse, breakfast at Les Glycines and pastries from a local patisserie. Would highly recommend..
