"This hotel occupies the enchanting Tenuta La Badiola estate on the Tyrrhenian coast. Formerly the summer residence of Grand Duke Leopold II." - The MICHELIN Guide
"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."
"A sprawling 1,000-acre working tenuta in the Maremma that began life as a grand duke’s hunting lodge and today blends contemporary rustic-chic accommodations across 61 rooms with a strong gourmet focus; the estate’s owners transformed it into an epicurean destination through collaborations with Michelin-caliber chefs, and guests can enjoy signature dishes such as seafood risotto and paprika-spiked grilled octopus, bike through artichoke fields, take riding lessons from local butteri, and explore vineyards and vast gardens." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
"L’Andana occupies a particularly auspicious parcel of land near western Tuscany’s Tyrrhenian coast — Tenuta La Badiola was once the summer residence of the Grand Duke Leopold II." - Mark Fedeli
