About this house rental
Conveniently located 10km from the Rioveggio exit of the PANORAMICO branch of the A1 motorway, backbone to Italy, between Bologna and Florence, 6Stanco is situated at the beginning of the Apennine mountain range on the southern slope of Monte Stanco, with stunning mountain views towards Tuscany. Set in the intimate village of Stanco, 6Stanco is a group of stone buildings surrounding a Farmstead courtyard, originally the main landowner's home, private chapel, barn and haywain, residence of their farm workers and harvesters. Renovated in 2011-12, the converted chestnut-drying barn, Olimpia, is a three-bedroomed independant villa, beside the garden and the 5x11m pool, completed in 2013. Giacomina and Giuseppina are the two mirror-image, studio flats on the raised ground floor of the converted haywain and cattle stalls, each with its own balconied entrance. We can accommodate groups of friends or extended families for unforgettable holidays! We live most of the year in the restored main stone house; also a Bed & Breakfast with three double rooms available.
The lower level of the barn is the 60sq.m Course Room; adjacent to the main sun terrace. There is Horse riding at our local Pegasus Riding Stables and trekking for seasoned riders. At 600m.a.s.l. no air-conditioning is necessary here, thanks to cooler evening breezes from nearby woods and the mountain panorama is breathtaking.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay, the place is a haven, perfectly relaxing, clean and comfortable. Ruth was a great host, very helpful indeed and welcoming. Highly recommended

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay a 6Stanco. Ruth is an excellent host, providing us with lots of advice both before and during our stay. The appartment is very comfortable and well equipped. Stanco is a small village but the local shop in Grizzana is well stocked and larger supermarkets are available in nearby towns. Both Florence and Bologna can be visited from the local train station, with rail fares making it a cheaper option than driving. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance. We only visited Nel Castagneto where we had excellent lunches and wine.Definitely recommend visiting this area of Italy

After some confusion with the details of the property description, Ruth and Andrea were immensely accommodating in switching us to the room I originally intended. I cannot thank yhem enough.

We loved this property - it was like living in a tree house with a loft. Excellent host and facilities.
Easy access via train to Bologna. Avoid the Bologna chaos with a calming train ride back to the local station.
We will stay here again
