If your going to Europe this summer, then Tuscany is the place to be. The colours are vibrant, the views memorable and the cuisine true to the land. And there is no better way to experience Tuscany than Alain Ducasse’s L’Andana.

Located minutes from the Tirreno coast, this 47-room residence occupies the Duke of Tuscany’s former hunting lodge and offers classic beauty at the foot of green hills covered in olive orchards. There is a dramatic swimming pool, an outdoor Jacuzzi in the villa garden, tennis court, bicycle rental, horseback riding (the Maremman horses are famously elegant) and nearby sand beaches. The main restaurant, La Trattoria Toscana by Alain Ducasse, offers Michelin-starred Tuscan cuisine.

In addition to the luxury accommodation in this superb setting and the daily Tuscan buffet breakfast, every day you can choose one of the following activities to enjoy:

• A day at the beach (one beach umbrella with two sunbeds included) in Castiglione della Pescaia, among the five top best beaches in Italy!

• One day entrance to the Spa and free use of gym, sauna, hammam, vitality pool and heated swimming pool

• A winery visit

• One light lunch in Villa for two (menu two courses, drinks excluded)

Offer valid until September 11 2010. For more information or to book, please contact dani@quintessentiallytravel.com
