Italy L Andana | Urbane Nomads

Overview

In spring 2004, Alain Ducasse indulged his passion for Italy by setting up a new resort in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, between Chianti and Siena, inspired by the charms of the Mediterranean. Thus came about L’Andana, in the 500-hectare La Badiola Estate, a few miles from Castiglione della Pescaia, the result of a joint effort by the Moretti family and Alain Ducasse in the dual role of chef and hotelier.

An enchanting resort with a gourmand SPA, Tuscan Trattoria, golf driving range and romantic private chapel, L'Andana takes its name from its long driveway, which is flanked by cypresses and maritime pines and 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.

Figures well as part of a luxury travel itinerary through Italy.

Restaurant

L’Andana has its own restaurant called La Villa. The kitchen has the cosy, informal atmosphere of a domestic kitchen and leads to an intimate dining room with a pretty stone fireplace and from there to a superb veranda overlooking the park, the chapel and the crystal-clear water of a romantic swimming pool nestling among cypresses and maritime pines.

Activities

L’Andana offers guests the use of a delightful outdoor heated swimming pool, situated in a paradise of nature overlooking the ancient town of Castiglione della Pescaia. There is plenty of space for sunbathing or stretching out to read a good book in complete peace and quiet. The pool is surrounded by lovely gardens with benches and loungers dotted here and there, where you can enjoy a chat or stop a while to contemplate the landscape, enveloped by the gentle sounds of the woods.
