L’Andana Tenuta La Badiola

Experience a wilder, more discreet side of Tuscany at L’Andana Tenuta La Badiola, surrounded by the emerald countryside of Maremma. This lesser-known region of Italy unfolds between the mountains and sea, where olive groves and rows of vines stretch to the cobalt-blue waters of the Tyrrhenian. 

Set on the sprawling estate of Tenuta La Badiola, L’Andana was once the residence of Duke Leopold II. Wine is crafted on-site, which you can sample during a guided tasting session. There’s also a golf course, an ESPA spa with outdoor pools and walking trails that wind through the surrounding hills. From the estate, you can cycle to ancient towns like Massa Marittima, while a short drive will take you to Castiglione della Pescaia, from where you can explore the wonders of the Tyrrhenian Sea by boat. 

L’Andana’s collection of accommodations is sprinkled across Tenuta La Badiola, each reflecting Tuscany’s timeless allure. Decorated with antique-style furnishings, traditional fireplaces and earthy ochre hues, La Villa houses elegant rooms facing the countryside. Staying in a suite at Il Granaio, a former granary clad with a charming stone façade, your mornings begin with the mesmerising sight of vineyards. 

For families in search of greater privacy, La Scuderia offers the perfect retreat tucked away in its own garden. This lovingly restored private villa features delightful spots in which you can unwind, including a plunge pool and shaded porch.

L’Andana’s dining experience is another nod to Tuscan tradition. Encircled by olive trees, the Michelin-starred restaurant, La Trattoria Enrico Bartolini, takes you on a journey through the region’s culinary heritage where locally sourced products shine. At the hands of Chef Enrico Bartolini, each dish is masterfully elevated with a modern flourish.
