Hotel Alcide, Poggibonsi

This modern hotel in Chianti stands in the ancient town of Poggibonsi, which was an important staging post on the Via Francigena (the ancient pilgrim's route from Canterbury to Rome) during the Middle Ages. Now a sizable modern town with great transport links via the major A1 autostrada/highway as well as the main railway line, this is a convenient stopping-off point or practical base for a holiday spent discovering the Chianti hills and wine country. Siena, Florence and San Gimignano are all within easy reach, and the nearby town of Colle Val d'Elsa has a thriving glass industry and a fascinating old centre.

The Hotel Alcide, Poggibonsi is located in the city's historic centre and has been recently refurbished to offer 3-star accommodation. There are 81 en-suite rooms here, all with air conditioning, direct-dial telephone and refrigerated minibar. Pets are welcome to join their owners on holiday here and children under the age of five stay free of charge in their parents' room, with a discount for five- to ten-year-olds.

The restaurant is managed by the Ancillotti family and consists of three large dining rooms and a terrace. The menu is renowned for its seafood specialities and features a selection of Tuscan dishes and a good wine list. There is also a bar with a relaxing ambience. There is 24-hour service on the reception desk, where guests will find a safety-deposit facility and guest laundry service.
