“L’Andana is a reflection of the Maremma…unique, authentic, generous…”
– Alain Ducasse

Between the Mediterranean Sea and the hills of Tuscany, amidst centuries-old olive groves and its own vineyard, lies the incomparable L’Andana.  Built in the 16th century as a summer retreat for the Duke of Tuscany, this historic estate has been transformed into a refined country inn by Alain Ducasse.

L’Andana basks in the breathtaking natural beauty of Maremma, an especially tranquil corner of Tuscany that is home to one of Italy’s finest beaches. This is a place that feels far removed from the touristed path, yet the attractions of Florence, Siena and Pisa are within reach, along with important archaeological, historic and cultural sites.

From the stately villa and fattoria that house the 33 exquisitely decorated guest rooms and suites, to its intimate spa, to three heated outdoor pools overlooking the surrounding hills and olive groves, L’Andana perfects the “art de vivre.” But nowhere is this perhaps more evident than within La Trattoria Toscana, the inn’s exceptional restaurant, set within a rustic barn. Under the direction of Chef Christophe Martin, formerly of the Louis XV-Alain Ducasse in Monaco, La Trattoria Toscana celebrates the rich gastronomic tradition of the Maremma region in an authentic Tuscan menu that is complemented by an equally impressive wine list.

Perpetuating the feel of a private country house, guests can stop by the kitchen of La Villa to help themselves to breakfast and lunch. After settling poolside for a repast of freshly baked breads, pastries and other Tuscan treats, they might stroll across the grounds to L’Andana’s own driving range and tennis court, take a cooking class with Chef Martin, unwind with a signature spa treatment, head for the beach, explore the countryside on horseback, embark on a sailing excursion to nearby Elba and Giglio islands, or enjoy a wine tour at Petra, one of Italy’s finest wine producers.

L'Andana is one of five exceptional inns in the Alain Ducasse Country Inns collection. The others include Domaine des Andeols, Hostellerie de L'Abbaye de la Celle, and La Bastide de Moustiers, all in Provence.
