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.

We arrived today only to discover that the Hotel is located in an Industrial Estate. However the room is nice and clean. The check-in was nice, friendly and professional. BUT, tonights meal was the worst food I ever had. The roasted pork with balsamic & honey was bad....really bad. And yes, I finished my plate as I had very little choice to eat somewhere else. I really would like to advise to have a better food offering or non at all. Oliver

I say surprisingly as we were not originally booked into this hotel. Our original hotel "lost" our reservation and we had hours to find a new hotel before the flight out to Italy.
Call it fate but but it actually worked out better. The only drawback was that the Semifonte did not have a family or connecting room available for us. Understandable given the short notice of our booking. As a family of 4 we had two king rooms next to each other, perfectly acceptable.
The rooms were clean, cool and well maintained.
The buffet breakfast was amazing. Great for kids and adults.
The service in all areas was excellent, especially Luigi the manager who made us feel personally very welcome and comfortable. The reception staff were very helpful and had good suggestions for where to eat locally and help arrange taxis (in the evenings I wanted to try the chianti and didn't want to drive).
The dinner in the restaurant was high quality, we ended up eating their twice because the kids insisted. Other times we out locally.
The hotel has an underground car park which meant the car was cool and not burning in the sunshine.
The location is not in the rolling Tuscan hills and has no views or scenery, but is ideally placed for driving and exploring the Chanti region. It is close to the main roads and highways. We were able to easily drive to Florence, Pisa, Siena and many of the wonderful towns in between.
In summary, what could have been a disastrous family holiday was made exceptional thanks to the staff and location of the Semifonte Hotel.
