L’Andana Tuscany: Country Luxury Near the Maremma Coast
Some luxury hotels impress through scale and spectacle. Others win you over more quietly, with beautiful surroundings, thoughtful service and an atmosphere that makes slowing down feel completely natural. L’Andana, set among the rolling hills of Tuscany’s Maremma countryside, belongs firmly in the second category.
Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and Mediterranean woodland, this elegant country estate offers a particularly appealing combination: the peace of rural Tuscany, sophisticated dining, an extensive spa and easy access to the Tyrrhenian coast.
For couples, families and food-loving travellers looking for a luxury hotel in Tuscany beyond the region’s busier cities, L’Andana deserves serious consideration.
A Different Side of Tuscany
Tuscany may be best known for Florence, Siena and the vineyards of Chianti, but the Maremma has a character all its own.
Located in southern Tuscany, this comparatively untamed region brings together wooded hills, traditional villages, protected countryside and a long stretch of coastline. It feels spacious and unhurried, offering a welcome contrast to the crowds surrounding Tuscany’s most famous landmarks.
L’Andana sits within a 500-hectare estate near Castiglione della Pescaia, an attractive coastal town known for its historic centre, harbour and sandy beaches. Both the town and the Tyrrhenian coast are approximately seven kilometres from the hotel, making it possible to combine countryside seclusion with days beside the sea.
This setting is central to the hotel’s appeal. You can begin the morning with breakfast overlooking the estate, spend the afternoon on the coast and return for dinner beneath a Tuscan sunset.
Rooms, Suites and a Private Tuscan Villa
Accommodation at L’Andana is spread across two principal buildings, La Villa and La Casa, with a selection of rooms, suites and apartment-style options.
Interiors were designed under the direction of architect Ettore Mocchetti and reflect the colours and textures of the surrounding countryside. Warm fabrics, traditional Tuscan furniture and natural materials create a polished but comfortable atmosphere. Many rooms also feature stone fireplaces and views across the estate.
La Casa is especially useful for longer stays and family holidays in Tuscany. Its accommodation includes private outdoor space and convenient kitchenettes, providing extra flexibility for light meals, snacks or food for younger children.
Families and groups can choose connecting suites that form larger apartments. For greater privacy, La Scuderia is a four-bedroom private villa created from the former stables of the Grand Duke’s hunting reserve. The villa includes generous living space, a kitchen, private gardens, a shaded porch and its own swimming pool.
Choosing the right accommodation matters here. A couple planning a spa and dining break will have different priorities from a multigenerational family needing several bedrooms and flexible living space. This is where careful holiday planning can make a noticeable difference.
Michelin-Starred Dining in the Tuscan Countryside
Food is one of the strongest reasons to stay at L’Andana.
The hotel’s signature restaurant, La Trattoria Enrico Bartolini, occupies the estate’s former granary. Terracotta floors, exposed brickwork, timber beams and a wood-burning oven establish a strong sense of place, while the cooking brings a contemporary perspective to Tuscan and Mediterranean flavours.
The restaurant holds a Michelin star and uses seasonal produce, herbs, vegetables and olive oil connected to the estate. Large windows and an outdoor terrace overlook the gardens and surrounding landscape, making the setting part of the experience.
La Villa provides a more relaxed alternative for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its seasonal menus retain a clear focus on regional ingredients and traditional Tuscan cooking. Breakfast is treated as a proper occasion, with pastries, homemade jams and yoghurt, cheeses, Tuscan cold meats, vegetables and eggs cooked to order.
Wine tastings and food-focused experiences can also be incorporated into a stay. For travellers who plan holidays around memorable meals, local produce and a good bottle of wine, L’Andana is much more than somewhere to sleep.
Time to Slow Down at the ESPA Spa
The ESPA spa at L’Andana covers more than 600 square metres and has been designed to complement the calm of the Maremma landscape.
Facilities include treatment rooms, thermal areas, a steam room, indoor pools, a vitality pool, a fitness area and outdoor swimming pools. Treatments draw on aromatherapy, plant extracts, sea salts and holistic techniques, with options ranging from massages and facials to body treatments and longer wellness rituals.
One particularly fitting choice is the Tuscan Andana Oil Massage, which uses the estate’s extra virgin olive oil.
The spa makes L’Andana an excellent option for a dedicated wellness holiday, but it works equally well as part of a broader Italian itinerary. After several active days exploring Florence, Rome or the Tuscan hill towns, a few unhurried nights in the Maremma can provide exactly the change of pace a longer holiday needs.
Experiences Beyond the Hotel
Although it would be easy to spend several days moving between the pool, spa and restaurants, the surrounding estate offers plenty of ways to be active.
Depending on the season and availability, experiences can include horse riding, cycling or e-bike tours, yoga, Pilates, tennis and golf practice. Guests can explore the countryside on foot, arrange wine and olive-oil tastings or spend time along the nearby coast.
Boat trips and beach excursions add another dimension to a summer stay, while visits to Castiglione della Pescaia provide an opportunity to experience everyday life on the Maremma coast.
The result is a hotel that can suit very different holiday rhythms. One day might involve a guided cycle through the countryside; the next could be reserved for a long lunch and an afternoon beside the pool.
Is L’Andana Suitable for Families?
Despite its sophisticated atmosphere and destination dining, L’Andana is genuinely welcoming to families.
Its family facilities include a supervised kids’ club for children aged three and above, a children’s swimming pool, outdoor play areas and organised activities. Pony rides, art workshops, cooking classes and selected sports can also be arranged.
Meanwhile, connecting accommodation, apartment-style options and La Scuderia make it easier to create enough space for parents, children and grandparents.
The hotel is therefore a strong choice for a luxury family holiday in Tuscany, particularly for families who want something more peaceful and personal than a large coastal resort.
Who Will Love L’Andana?
L’Andana is particularly well suited to:
Couples seeking a romantic Tuscan escape
Food and wine enthusiasts
Spa and wellness travellers
Families wanting space and high-quality facilities
Multigenerational groups considering a private villa
Travellers combining Tuscany’s countryside with the coast
Anyone who prefers understated luxury to a busy resort atmosphere
It is best enjoyed as somewhere to settle into rather than rush through. Staying an extra night leaves time for the spa, a Michelin-starred dinner, a visit to the coast and at least one completely unscheduled afternoon.
