About this house rental
Conveniently located between Bologna and Florence, 10km from the RIOVEGGIO exit of the PANORAMICO branch of the A1 motorway, the north-south artery of Italy, 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 courtyard, originally the village's main landowner's home, with private chapel, barn and haywain, historically also the residence of their farm workers and harvesters. Refurbished from the converted chestnut-drying barn, Olimpia is now a three-bedroomed independent villa, beside the garden and the 5x11m outdoor pool. 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. it is always 3 or 4 degrees cooler here in the summer, compared to Bologna and Florence. Even after very hot days, a cooler woodland breeze arrives in the evenings 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
