L’Andana, Tuscany
There’s nothing I love more than a beautiful hotel except a beautiful hotel that also has an exquisite restaurant. L’Andana in Tuscany would be one such hotel. Housed in a villa that belonged to the Medicis and developed by super chef Alain Ducaisse (I once took a class at his cooking school in Paris but more on that another time), L’Andana is on my must-do list.
You can see why, right?
Happy Traveling Thursday and bon voyage!

It looks divine, wonderful restaurant or no restaurant! The decor is really appealing, and then the setting looks like the perfect spot to get away for a bit. Janell

This is gorgeous. When I was 18, I went to Tuscany with my mom and her family for a family reunion (my great grandmother is from that area of the world). We stayed at a remote Villa that was amazing – this place brings back wonderful memories. I want to go back! {Too bad I am no longer 18 and my parents don’t bankroll my vacations

Looks beautiful, cosy, stylish and very inviting. I’ll put it on my list too
I really had it in my head that we would travel to Italy this summer. But, my husband said the renovation takes precedence. Looking at these….I feel like I still got a mini vaca!!

All the headboards are simply gorgeous, and always wished to have a fireplace in my master bathroom. Good inspiration from this hotel.
And look at the sky, oh my God, I miss blue deep sky so much.
what a dream!
images like these are the reason i am saving up for my first ever trip to italy—for my 15 year wedding anniversary next fall.

Well HELLO beautiful…where ya been all my life!
Beautiful! Just the walkway alone would make me want to never leave, but I love the beds and the claw foot tub.
A gorgeous space in one of the most beautiful places on Earth!

We love EVERYTHING Italian! Wonderful photos – great post!
Love the rooms dreamy!
Ally, I can’t believe it! I was born about 25 km from Andana! And I don’t know how many times I’ve driven just past it on my way to the beach…
It’s a lovely place, they use it a lot for weddings and other events. And tomorrow I’ll fly to Italy to visit my family – and will probably drive past Andana on my way to visit my aunt
