L'Andana in southern Tuscany is one of the most fabulous Italian properties that you are ever likely to experience.

Serenely beautiful rooms with gorgeous outlooks are surrounded by two pools, vineyards and olive groves.

This boutique villa style hotel blends great sophistication with traditional service and style. From the generously sized rooms and restaurants to the spa and swimming pools, this place just exudes class and is a real haven to relax in, as well as explore this little known corner of Tuscany near the coast.

L’Andana was established in spring 2004 in the 500-hectare of La Badiola Estate, a few miles from Castiglione della Pescaia.

It is an enchanting resort with a gourmand SPA, La Trattoria Enrico Bartolini, golf driving range and romantic private chapel. L’Andana takes its name from its long driveway which is flanked by cypresses and maritime pines, enveloped in a magical fairytale atmosphere within a delightful nature park. At Tenuta La Badiola the scents of the Tuscan countryside blend with the brackish fragrances of the Tyrrhenian, in a sensory experience that caresses the guests’ sensations and emotions.

This natural setting merges with the fascination of history. The building that now houses L’Andana was once a Medici villa where Grand Duke Leopold II and his court resided during the summer season. Here, in this place he loved so much, the Grand Duke launched major reclamation work in the Maremma.

L’Andana, with its 33 rooms and suites, is a member of “The Leading Hotels of the World”, an international brand of luxury hotels.
