About this property

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.

Amazing stay at Casle Amati

Casale Amati is stunning. Frederica and Enrico have given attention to every detail and created a magical space. The gardens and rooms were so special. I particularly loved the pictures of their grandparents who once ran this family treasure. We stayed here for a quiet place while we explored Liguria with e-bikes, olive oil tasting and more. Local restaurants near Ortonovo we’re a bonus. Thank you Frederica and Enrico for caring for this special place. It deserves all of our love!

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.

Fantastischer Urlaub

Diese Unterkunft ist einmalig, ruhig und entschleunigend. Man kann vom Garten aus in die Olivenhaine spazieren und die Gegend ist wunderschön. 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 Fuß durchwandern und mit dem Boot oder dem Zug zurückfahren. Wir kommen wieder in diese wunderschöne Gegend.
