Hotel Semifonte, Barberino Val d'Elsa

Situated in Barberino Val d'Elsa, in the heart of Chianti, the Hotel Semifonte is in an ideal position ... located centrally for exploring the historic towns of Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa.

The hotel has 41 rooms, with 89 beds in all. Every room has a private bathroom with shower, satellite television, refrigerated minibar, telephone and modem, room safe, hairdryer and air conditioning.

The restaurant offers a choice of Italian and Tuscan dishes, there is an American bar, and ample parking and garaging for guests. The hotel also has a meeting room and a swimming pool. Whether you're here for work or you want to explore Tuscan art, culture, history, wine and food, this is the perfect base.

And this is an area suffused with history. Semifonte was founded in 1180 by Alberto Alberti, a Tuscan-Emilian aristocrat and ally of Florence. Eventually the little town grew to become a military rival to the mighty Republic of Florence, which razed Semifonte to the ground. There are many other fascinating historic cities within easy reach of this hotel in Chianti, including Siena, Poggibonsi, San Gimignano, Florence, Monteriggioni and Volterra. Situated as it is between the Val d'Elsa and the Chianti, and on the ancient Via Francigena, the Hotel Semifonte is at a crossroads on the main tourist and cultural routes.
