The Andana hotel is situated in the heart of the Maremma region, immersed in the vineyard strewn countryside bordering the Chianti area and yet, at the same time, within easy reach of the Tuscan coast and some of Italy's most attractive seaside towns.

The hotel, occupying an attractive 16th century building which once served as Tuscany's somewhat tyrannical Duke Leopold's summer residence, offers first class accommodation in 33 bedrooms and suites decorated in Ettore Mocchetti's "rustic chic" style. Mocchetti, the Italian designer responsible for the interiors of the hotel, has produced a stylish combination of traditional Tuscan and contemporary Italian furnishings, which has an immense appeal to today's traveller; in search of high quality materials, light-filled spaces, and ultra modern technology.

A meal at the Andana's "Trattoria Toscana" restaurant often provides the highlight of guests' stay at the hotel. An occasion to savor the superlative Tuscan cuisine of Christophe Martin, protégée of the world famous celebrity Chef, Alain Ducasse who has been closely involved in the creation of the excellent seasonal menus. Those interested in discovering a few of the French master's culinary secrets, may attend the Hotel Andana's cooking school, which offers students a number of specially prepared programs.

Ducasse's undisputed culinary expertise has also been employed so as to produce an excellent gourmet spa menu, for guests of the hotel Andana's Espa wellness center. The center offers clients an extensive range of massages and holistic therapies, performed in individual treatment rooms and suites.

Three swimming pools, one of which is heated, are available to guests. There is also a 3 hole putting green just behind the hotel; perfect for those guest wishing to practice their skills before venturing on to one of the challenging 18 hole golf courses located just a short drive away from the hotel.

Within the grounds of the hotel, there is a small neo-classic chapel, where religious services are still performed, making the Andana a much requested location for glamorous weddings. Top class banqueting and meeting room facilities ensure that the hotel is a popular venue for high profile business and social events.
