Who we are

 

The holiday farm “IL GLICINE” is situated in the south of the province of Mantua on the left bank of the river Po and on the main route to the Adriatic Sea. It’s not far from some of the oldest and most beautiful artistic towns such as Mantua, Verona, Ferrara, Modena and Parma.
It’s the ideal place to stay for the tourists who love admiring the artistic treasures of Italian cities as well as for those tourists who prefer to ride and visit the naturalistic reserves of the territory.
The farm is composed of small fields where the two owners, Carla and Claudio, grow fruit, vegetables and cereals according to the procedures of the biological agriculture.
The guests can go kayaking and rowing In the two lakes. They can also use the private swimming pool.
In the lawn next to the beach volley and the landing there is a quiet camping site with any facilities for campers, caravans and tents. Since may 1999 Carla and Claudio have been able to offer hospitality to about 20 people in five bungalows, whose windows overlook the larger of the lakes.
The lakes and the luxuriant vegetation together with the barnyard animals (hens, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc) contribute to create a rural, magic atmosphere typical of the fairy tales.
The farm is open throughout the year while the refreshing service is open at weekends and during the main festivities
