L’Andana: among the best luxury resorts in Tuscany

Considered a historical Tuscan home, the L’Andana resort at Tenuta La Badiola in Castiglione della Pescaia is synonymous with style

Just 20 km from Grosseto, the luxury villa immersed in the remarkable beauty of the Maremma Natural Park invites you to surround yourself in the endless greenery for a true escape. A warm welcome awaits guests in this historic setting that was chosen by the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II of Lorraine as the site of one of his villas, with perfectly conserved Medici traits delighting those passionate about history.

Elegant accommodation surrounded by nature 

From private villas to stunning suites, there’s more than one way to experience L’Andana. The two main buildings, the Villa and the Fattoria, are united by the exquisite Winter Garden, with the rooms characterized by wide windows that grant exceptional views of the sweeping Maremma landscape. The exclusive Scuderia has its own private pool and sprawling gardens, providing a delightful hideaway in the former hunting reserve, while La Casa captures the hearts of all who stay here with its intimate ‘real home’ feeling and welcoming atmosphere. An extensive rebuilding and restyling were carried out under the supervision of architect of the late architect Ettore Mocchetti, former Chief Editor of AD Italy, seducing guests with furnishings that express the true soul of Tuscany, with warm colours and a simple palette finished with refined Tuscan-style furniture and the precious silks of Florentine fabrics.

Pamper + relax

The ESPA SPA and holistic centre make L’Andana a true oasis in the heart of the Maremma countryside. The crystal-clear pools and an array of pampering treatments and state-of-the-art fitness facilities cater to both body and spirit. The exclusive spa signed by ESPA, the leading English brand in wellness, offers holistic treatments using pure and natural products based on essential oils, plant extracts, and sea salts in combination with aromatherapy. A sauna, calidarium, vitality pool, in-door swimming pool, and two out-door swimming pools, in addition to the fitness and relaxation areas ensure guests emerge revitalized, with a long list of sports including horse-riding, golf, Nordic walking, tennis, yoga, and more.

Eating + drinking

A perfect combination of tradition and experimentation characterizes the flavourful food options available, with a contemporary restaurant led by Michelin-starred Chef Enrico Bartolini serving dishes reminiscent of a typical Tuscan trattoria yet with an exclusive restaurant ambience, located in what used to be the ancient granary of Grand Duke Leopold II of Lorraine. Mediterranean shrubland and vineyards surround diners, as the 150 m2 space features wooden beams, exposed brickwork, a fireplace, and cotto tile flooring, leading onto an enchanting terrace that looks onto the kitchen gardens and surrounding hills. A private dining space is ideal for more intimate occasions or special events, and there’s also La Villa restaurant, if diners prefer the cozy, informal atmosphere of a domestic kitchen, with a delightful stone fireplace and charming veranda overlooking the park, the small church, and the clear waters of the romantic swimming pool. Picnics can be packed for those seeking to immerse themselves even further into the idyllic natural surroundings, and the venue even boasts a new wine shop with wines from the estate and their Petra di Suvereto winery, catering to both the passionate and the curious. 

From its peaceful setting surrounded by nature to the elegant ambience and exceptional cuisine, a stay at L’Andana is bound to leave guests enamoured.
