The Grand Duke of Tuscany surely knew a good spot for a country retreat when he saw one, and so does Alain Ducasse. L'ANDANA TENUTA LA BADIOLA opened in 2004 on the same vineyard-lined Maremma estate where Leopold II hunted game almost two centuries ago. The restored palazzo now has seventeen double rooms and eleven spacious suites, many with bathrooms of Carrara marble and sunken tiled baths, not to mention sweeping vistas of the hillsides. After a massage at the Zen-inspired Espa or a bike ride at sunset, be sure to indulge in the Trattoria Toscana's local dishes—at a Ducasse-owned property, the cuisine is, of course, the highlight. Rooms from $440, suites from $702. 011-39-0564-944-800; andana.it.
