Les Glycines Vézelay

Les Glycines is a delightful boutique hotel a short step from the Basilica. Beautiful surroundings, comfortable and well equipped rooms, excellent breakfast, most of all a team of exceptional staff all welcoming and willing to help with whatever request.

A very special place, ingrained into the very fabric of Vezelay as this property reaches out to you, propped up by the 200 year old vine in the courtyard and enchanting ladies that welcome you. It's magical...

Beautifully set in a stunning location just a minute from the Basilica.

Lovely hotel, lovely village, lovely staff. Really enjoyed our visit and hope to return.

This is a wonderful place in a wonderful town. The room was very comfortable and modernized with everything we could need. There’s even an elevator which was very convenient. The town of Vézelay is Very charming! The beautiful basilica of St Mary Magdalene is within a two minute walk away. Made it very convenient to see all the stars at night and wake up at 7am for the morning matins sung in Gregorian chant. And there is a wonderful restaurant right across as way as well. One of my favorite one night stays of our two week trip.

The room was large and well accommodated, with a small but reasonable bathroom. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff very helpful.

The hotel is hard to access because the medieval town of Vezelay sits in a hill with one road through it up to the Basilica. Another one way street leads down. The host needs to get the road barrier in front of the hotel to lift and give you directions a few blocks away to a dirt parking lot that you pay for. You can drop your luggage first. The hotel is lovely, a 1700’s building, with a man historic 200 year old wisteria (glycine) tree in front. The staff is lovely, helpful and they speak English. Not sure if all rooms are like ours (small hotel) but the wood beams across the ceiling prevented my 6’3” husband from standing up in half the room. The room was small but adequate for our two night stay. Excellent restaurant across the road in front of the basilica where we ate both nights; host offered to make res. On Sunday/Monday not much is open, but a small grocery shop and boulangerie were nice. Quiet and calm hotel, village.

This is one for connoisseurs of small French hotels. A beautifully restored early 19th-century house with interior décor sensitive to the period. Extremely comfortable and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Beautifully positioned on the approaches to the basilica it is fronted by a small wisteria-laden garden. A wonderful place to stay in Vézelay.
