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

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 !

Casa magnifica, piena di storie e di affetti. Assolutamente meravigliosa.
Tutto perfetto, pulizia impeccabile, arredo di gusto ed elegante. Un esempio per chiunque voglia mettere in affitto una casa di sua proprietà.

Un piccolo angolo di Paradiso
Le foto non rendono giustizia, abbiamo avuto un'accoglienza e una disponibilità incredibili, la casa è grande e molto bella ricavata all'interno di un vecchio frantoio. Lo consiglierei a chiunque abbia voglia di comodità, tranquillità ma anche di avventura e curiosità. Adatto sia ai grandi che ai bambini

Uno stimolo per la mente e per il corpo
E' stato un soggiorno ricco di stimoli, la posizione geografica sulla costa tirrenica tra Liguria e Toscana ci ha permesso di alternare giorni di full immersion in natura nelle splendide 5Terre a giorni di turismo classico nelle città di Pisa e Lucca. L'appartamento, ricavato in un antico frantoio medievale , é ampio e spazioso e l'idea di lasciare intatte le macine e gli ingranaggi del vecchio frantoio contribuisce a creare un'atmosfera veramente unica. Il podere all'esterno é ricco di verde e dotato di angoli accoglienti , un vera pacchia per la pigrizia!

Bellissimo casale in zona magnifica
Il nostro soggiorno presso Casale Amati è stato un bellissimo weekend di relax, alla scoperta della Lunigiana. La posizione del casale, immerso nel verde e con uno spazioso giardino con tavolo e area barbecue, è perfetta per esplorare la zona tra Liguria e Toscana. Federica, la proprietaria, è stata disponibile e ci ha dato molti suggerimenti per la nostra breve vacanza. L'antico frantoio è affascinante e conservato molto bene: la casa, adatta ad un gruppo di 5-7 persone, conserva il fascino di un'antica residenza di campagna (caminetto e lavandino in marmo in cucina, stufa a legna, tavoli in legno e culle in vimini!) pur essendo molto comoda e accogliente. Lo consiglierermo sicuramente!

Tolles Haus, authentisch, wunderschöner Garten
Sehr sauberes Haus mit 3 Ferienwohnungen, jede für sich genial , super eingerichtet. In der Beschreibung sind aber alle Bilder von den 3 Wohnungen durcheinander , so dass man nicht weiß welche Wohnung wie aussieht. Wir wussten bis zur Ankunft auch nicht welche wir bekommen. Für kleinere Kinder bedingt geeignet, da viele Stufen und die Haustüre ist direkt an der Strasse.Viele Stechmücken. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und hat viele Tipps

Too expensive for what you get
Charming house, but in a very noisy street with a lot of traffic even during night. Dark, small rooms, doesn't match with the pictures on the website. The house is very unpractical and inappropriate for children. The sinks are unpractical and dirty ( not a joy for doing the dishes) and the only toilet is in the small shower room which has no mirror above the sink. Poor internet connection and TV not working. The house is too small for 5 persons. We had to do the dishes upon arrival because all were dirty. The excursion tips provided by the owner turned out to be pretty expensive versus on site alternatives. All in all we were very disappointed
