About this house rental

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.

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 !

Arriving in the Casale Amati house was like coming home. The ancient olive oil mill is just amazing if you love a characteristic place to stay with a natural surroundings in a non-touristic little village. Our children loved the charming property as there were so many things to disover in and around the house. The vineyard behind the oil mill, the natural watercourse, the covered terrace and the roomy accomodation make Casale Amati to a perfect hideaway for families. Thank you Federica for unforgettable vacations - we just love the ancient olive oil mill!

We had a beautiful time with 6 people at Casale Amati.The house and the garden have a lovely atmosphere and the the house is full of very nice original old items which make such a country hour so unit. You definately need a car, but once you have orientated yourself in the area it is a perfect location to explore Liguria and Tosacana. Thank you so much Federica for your help and the tips. Hope to see you and Casale Amati again. All the best Petra and Axel

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!

Our family of four had a wonderful stay at Casale Amati, in the Frantoio Ingoletti part of the building, during the school holidays of October/November. The holiday home has been lovingly restored, with beautiful attention to detail and personal touches, old and new. An added bonus for us, as the sun shone all week, was the garden area. Federica responded attentively to all of our enquiries during our stay. The location was perfect for us, close to several sandy beaches and the picturesque seaside towns/villages of San Terenzo, Lerici and Tellaro and also close to the Tuscan countryside, with the mystical Isola Santa village a stunning drive away and, of course, Lucca. This location would equally suit people wanting to visit Cinque Terre, Pisa and Florence. Thank you for a lovely stay, highly recommended!

Our experience with the Casale Amati Country Home was as we hoped. The location is right at the foot of the mountains and hills, with great walking to a mountain top town with ice cream and architecture. There is a path next to a clear stream just across the street that appears to have fish in a remote pool just up the trail and in the woods. A few minute away by car, there is a winding road with a fantastic view of the Golfo della Spezia where we went swimming on a nice little beach in Poets Bay, Lerici. The garden in the back is set up so you can eat in a little nook next to a narrow channel of running water that powered the old olive press years ago. We are a family of six that had been traveling for nearly four months and found the interior completely unique, welcoming, and more than enough room for all of us. There is a safe private parking spot within 20 feet of the front door. Our hostess was very responsive to any questions and provided great recommendations for the area. This was a perfect finish to a long trip. We recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere that is just a couple of minutes off the busy trail, but within five minutes to everything you need and want in a place to stay. A unique place that I think the kids will remember for a long time. Chris - Minnesota, USA
