About this property

Casale Amati La Marchesa, an ancient and fascinating oil mill between the sea and the hills.

Casale Amati, La Marchesa was born in an ideal geographical context, close to the sea, the Cinque Terre, Versilia, the Apuan Alps, the Carrara quarries, important historical cities such as Sarzana, Lerici, Lucca, Pietrasanta, Pisa, Florence.
In 1300 d. C. there was already a water mill. A source of pure water allowed the movement of the heavy stone millstones and the gears used for the production of a fragrant oil produced with olives ripened in the sun on the surrounding hills. The Marquis Amati, owner of the oil mill and of the land, decided to live in this splendid place and began the expansion of the oil mill, the complete transformation into housing units by the Marquis's heirs took place in the second half of the 1900s. The renovation, done with love and respect for the original style and characteristics, wanted to preserve many of the unique and fascinating features, so much so that inside the structure you can still admire many of the peculiarities and ancient authentic furnishings.
Outside, 7000 square meters of land surround Casale Amati, with vineyards, olive trees, fruit trees, walnuts and hazelnuts able to offer a quiet privacy and regenerate the spirit in a natural environment full of charm.

wonderful stay in Liguria
travelling through some narrow sreets and then arriving with lots of space for the kids (3) - stayed in La Marchesa. Wifi ofcourse kept them in but Pending tower of Pisa, bicycle riding on Lucca City walls, Fiumaretta beach, boattrip from protovenere to the cinque Terre and even a daytrip to Genova (with the aquarium) kept them also going outside. nice owners and villagers, with a special remark for Rina across the street who made me feel at home. Panetteria 1 km away made me buy fresh bread every morning, as well as last resort if we forgot to buy thigs at the supermarket. Wonderful stay !

Perfect place for exploring Liguria
We had a wonderful week staying in Frantoio Ingoletti at Casale Amati. The apartment has been beautifully and very tastefully restored by Federica and Enrico and the property is in a great location for exploring the area around the Cinque Terre, Lucca, Pisa, Florence, north west Tuscany etc. Federica was so kind and welcoming and helped us with any queries we had and went out of her way to make sure our stay was as enjoyable as possible. Highly recommended!

Familienurlaub mit 3 Kindern in “la marchesa “
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in “ la Marchesa“ mit unseren drei kleinen Kindern. Das Haus ist familiär , stilvoll und gefüllt mit Atmosphäre und Liebe - man merkt dass es ein Familiensitz ist u kein seelenloses Ferienhaus. Die Besitzerin i ihr Mann hat uns mit den Kindern persönlich, sehr angenehm u warmherzig empfangen. Vorher hatten wir anhand der Bilder ( die wunderschön aber ja leider keine Titel / Erklärungen haben ) uns nicht alles im Zusammenhang vorstellen können , aber es erfüllte genau unsere Erwartungen! Das Haus liegt am Hang und die Wohnung liegt im 1. Stock von wo aus man auch man auch auf die herrliche Terrasse und in den Garten gelangt . Allerdings liegt das Haus direkt an einer zwar kleinen , aber sehr befahrenen Straße - die Einheimischen rasen hier unglaublich. Es ist dennoch ruhig im Haus u Garten , aber wir waren mit den Kindern kaum aus dem Haus. Was zum einen auch daran liegt , dass das Haus nicht im Ort mit Ortskern liegt sondern unterhalb des alten Ortskern Ortonovo u oberhalb von Casano . aber sicher auch daran dass es so unglaublich entspannt u schön im Garten und der Terrasse an dem riesigen Marmortisch war . Der Garten war wunderbar für die Kinder um dort im Schatten der Olivenbäume zu spielen ( vielleicht war der Nachbargarten von dem Teil “ la machine “ noch verwunschener u schöner ) . Die Mücken haben dort allerdings auch heftig zugeschlagen .. unsere Kinder hat es nicvt gestört :) Auch wenn es mir etwas gefehlt hat mal einen Spaziergang vom Haus durchs Ortszentrum machen zu können , haben wir den Aufenthalt sehr genossen u die Lage eignet sich bestens für Ausflüge wie zb nach Pisa o.ä. Das Meer / Strand ist mit dem Auto auch schnell erreicht . Wir sagen Mille GRAZIE , dass wir hier sein durften !
