I stayed for two nights whilst on business in the area. It is an industrial area but was quite. All the staff were very friendly and the food, dinner and breakfast, was very good. If I return to the area I would stay again

The location is both easy to find and quite good for visiting many of the Chianti producers. They did not receive (or notice) my request for a bath tub (online reservation), but they found one for us once I asked in person. Noticeable failure: There was some promotion that included a glass of local wine to participants. The wine was... More

The hotel is located in the heart of Chianti region in Tuscany, so if you are by car and you are visiting the region, it is a good place to stop. The rooms are clean, large enough, the breakfast is plenty and the staff is there if you need them. It is advisable to have a GPS if you don't... More

Rooms were a little bit small for 2adults and 2 Teens, but it was manageable, considering the perfect location between Pisa, Siena and Florence. Staff was more than helpful with directions, train tickets, winery tours and more. The minibar didnt work, but reception offered to replace it right away. Nice room, clean, good standard, air conditioning worked […] perfectly. Dog... More

I stayed here one night in May, but only for the location. It's a nice place, but has faults. The desk staff are really weak - rare in Tuscany. Wrong room (wanted smoking), wrong info about shopping in this very urban area, and wrong directions to local sites. When I finally settled in for the night, the TV just didn't... More

We were shown to the bar first for a cold, fresh beer by Daniele who was extemely helpful and answered all our questions about Italy. The room was clean and... More

After reading all the reviews my fiancee and I were very excited to stay but the room is nowhere as nice as the pictures displayed, the service was terrible and the hotel is located in what feels like the middle of nowhere. Upon arrival, the man at reception told us that he did not have our confirmation which was placed... More

Matteo Rosa at the reception on May 19, 2012 was most helpful ! Our NEW iPhone fell in the hotel lobby just when a large Italian group of tourists entered the lobby. Thank you Matteo for all your help with locating the new iPhone couple of hours later, which was with one of the tourists.

Hotel Semifonte is a super hotel as a base for a motoring tour of Tuscany. A friendly, helpful English speaking staff, very reasonable accomnodation and a much more attractive price than in the major cities - free parking too! Highly recommended...

We chose Semifonte as base hotel to explore Valle del Chianti. The best choose we could ever do. The Concierge is magnificent! Everybody is incredibly kind and helpful. I had the flu and they brought me the breakfast to the Room! Very Very Recommendable.
