L'Andana
"Alain Ducasse’s divine Tuscan inn takes its name from the sweeping allée of umbrella pines and cypresses that lead to the entrance to this 1,200-acre estate. Twenty suites in the main villa, once the hunting lodge of Leopold II, the last grand duke of Tuscany, and 13 rooms in the connected fattoria (farmhouse) are designed with sponged apricot walls, Como silks, and voluptuous modern couches strewn with pillows; bathrooms are particularly luxurious. L’Andana also has an outdoor heated pool and whirlpool tub, a sensualist’s spa, a nine-hole golf course, and a Ducasse restaurant where the food is in the hands of his protégé Christophe Martin, whose sophisticated take on Tuscan cuisine makes the most of authentic ingredients and fresh seafood from the nearby Tyrrhenian coast."
