Ancient luxury oil mill
Historic water mill, transformed into an evocative holiday residence, unique in the territory of ancient LUNI, a border area between Liguria and Tuscany, between the Apuan Alps and the Mediterranean Sea.
Casale Amati is the oldest oil mill in eastern Liguria; Its original nucleus is dated to the 14th century. d. C.
It is furnished with care and charm, with period furniture from the Marchesi Amati-Ingolotti family.
The heavy stone wheels and the ancient chestnut gears, used in the processing of the olives, have become an integral part of the furniture, giving a unique and authentic atmosphere.
Casale Amati has equipped outdoor spaces, in the large and varied Italian garden (7000 m2)
The lawyer Marchese Panfilo Ingolotti, passionate about botany, in the early 1900s enriched the garden surrounding the farmhouse with rare plants. In the garden you can find native fauna and flora as evidence of an uncontaminated territory.

A beautiful, very unusual vacation home
This historic olive mill in the foothills of Liguria, just a few miles from the beach, is extraordinary. The rental is made up of several adjoined buildings that were all once part of an olive mill, and the giant mill workings are still in place. The family that owns the rental has done a wonderful job of turning this stone and wood building into an elegant and inviting vacation house. Federica, the family member who communicates with renters, is extremely helpful and obviously has a terrific eye for small, luxurious details such as bed linens.
We were a group of six middle-aged couples who rented the entire place, meaning we had several kitchens and living rooms at our disposal. We cooked and ate in the lovely back garden most evenings.
The only points I'd make to future renters is that for people who have difficulty with stairs, this may not be the best rental option. Also you definitely need a car to get to stores, restaurants and the beach.
For us, the olive mill was a terrific base for a memorable week in Liguria.

Amazing property with lots of space and a substantial yard
We visited the Oil Mill with another family, altogether 8 of us. There was plenty of space for all with extra bedrooms left over. The kitchen functioned well and we grilled over open fire in the backyard grill. The garden gave the kids plenty of room to play. A perfect stay.

Fantastischer Urlaub
Diese Unterkunft ist einmalig, ruhig und entschleunigend.
Man kann vom Garten aus in die Olivenhaine spazieren und die Gegend ist wunderschƶn. Ein idealer Platz mit Hunden.
Das Haus ist liebevoll gestaltet und es fehlt einem nichts.
Wir haben super bei Napoli PEPE Pizza und Steaks gegessen und den Urlaub genossen. Cinque Terre kann man auch sehr gut zu FuĆ durchwandern und mit dem Boot oder dem Zug zurĆ¼ckfahren. Wir kommen wieder in diese wunderschƶne Gegend.

Casa confortevole, pulita, curata nei dettagli!
Abbiamo soggiornato durante i giorni del ponte del 25 aprile in un gruppo di 13 amici, occupando i due appartamenti comunicanti (La Marchesa e Le Macine).
Il casale ĆØ stata una piacevole sorpresa: camere spaziose, pulite, arredate con mobili dāepoca (biancheria letto e bagno inclusa). Le zone giorno sono ampie e le cucine sono abbondantemente attrezzate di stoviglie e pentolame. Tutti gli ambienti ben riscaldati. Sul retro, si accede alla zona esterna, con barbecue, tavolo, sedie e sdraio. Di fronte alla casa cāĆØ parcheggio per 4 auto.
I proprietari sono cortesi e disponibili, cosƬ come la vicina di casa (signora Rina di 88 anni), che ha aperto la casa al nostro arrivo e ci ha accompagnato allāinterno.
La posizione ĆØ comoda, sia per raggiungere il mare della Liguria che della Toscana. Anche i piccoli borghi di Ortonovo Alto e di Nicola meritano una visita. Vicine anche le cave di marmo e Colonnata con le sue ladrerie.
Consigliamo, quindi, il soggiorno a Casale Amati e ci auguriamo di poterci tornare.

Ottimo per rilassarsi
I proprietari sono molto simpatici, gentili e disponibili.
Noi abbiamo pernottato per 4 notti negli appartamenti: Le Macine e La Marchesa.
La casa ĆØ molto spaziosa e accogliente, ci sono due stufe che riscaldano molto lāambiente per chi volesse andare in inverno.
Un punto negativo ĆØ la strada molto stretta, tipica della Liguria.
Eravamo in 12 e siamo stati molto bene. Ci sono un salotto e un tavolo nei quali ci siamo stati ampiamente.
Ć saltata la corrente qualche volta ma i proprietari si sono dimostrati molto disponibili.
In complesso ĆØ una casa caratteristica e perfetta per un gruppo di persone.
Il custode della casa ĆØ un simpatico gattino nero.
