Villa Semifonte has the good fortune to be located among the most stunning
scenery in Chianti. Just a few kilometers from the classic hill town of
Barberino val d'Elsa, this beautiful villa offers cozy and stylish
accommodations for a group as large as twenty-four guests. For this reason, it
is frequently used for family reunions, wedding and gatherings of friends who
want to experience the best that Tuscany has to offer. It has recently
been restored in a manner that elegantly preserves the traditional Tuscan
character in harmony with modern amenities and conveniences.
In the
nearby hills, the proud city-state of Semifonte once existed, with a thriving
community. Built in the eleventh century, it was destroyed following a
siege by the Florentines in 1202 and the little that remains can be found in the
vicinity of the villa.
The estate consists of an impressive country house
that can sleep up to sixteen guests (8 bedrooms/8 bathrooms). Surrounding the property is a large panoramic
garden with well furnished terraces and pergolas offering lovely views of the vineyards and rolling countryside. The private
swimming pool is 8 meters x 16 meters with a maximum depth of 2.3 meters.
The pool also has an attached child's pool which is 8 meters in diameter.
The pool area also has a dressing room, sauna and bathroom.
The villa offers air conditioning and WIFI Internet connection. All of the
bedrooms are equipped with satellite TV. There is a covered parking area
large enough for eight cars. A baby bed is available at no charge and upon
request there are cooking lessons, baby sitting, breakfast, lunch and dinner
service available. There is a nice facility for laundry and ironing.
There is a separate annex for up to 10 additional guests, which is only open when rented together with the main villa.
