Giuseppina - converted stone barn with spectacular mountain scenery & pool

Conveniently located 10km from the Rioveggio exit of 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 independent 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 Haywain 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 and the mountain panorama is breathtaking.

Cosy little hideaway in the hills
This is a lovely spot in the hills, the pool a godsend in the scorching heat. The apartment was everything we expected, ideal for a family of four. Great restaurants nearby but sadly lacking a bar/pasticceria that is reaslitically walkable. There seems to have once been one but is now closed down. Ruth and her family were so welcoming and were very helpful and easy to deal with. They left us to it but were on hand if we needed anything

A real taste of Italy
We have just returned from our stay at 6Stanco with wonderful hosts Ruth and Andrea. Normally, I am ready for home after a few days away but I didn’t want to leave. On day two, the villagers set up their annual bingo event in the courtyard and we were made to feel very welcome and included. Our teenage daughters won a huge hamper of Local produce. A few days later we were able to go to the village pizza event - all the 6Stanco guests went along for pizza and drinks. During the week, Ruth and Andrea also invited all their guests to eat together one evening and we enjoyed some lovely home cooked treats. We were easily able to visit Bologna (we were able to catch the train from from Grizzana Morandi) and Florence (an hours drive - the trains were not running that day) which were both beautiful. We discovered a lovely gelateria in Vergato, a great pizzeria which took us back to the 80s - in a good way - (Brace). The shared pool was a real plus at the end of a hot day. Thank you to Ruth and Andrea. Your hospitality was tremendous and we’d love to come back soon!

This is definitely a home like Airbnb with beautiful architecture and cabin type feel !
6Stanco is a magical place to stay if you enjoy being away from people but want to still have close access to Bologna or Modena. The space is very family friendly and the pool and Ruth’s family are such a fun enjoyble company! If you are looking for a mountain retreat, this is it!

Des vacances parfaites!
Nous sommes une famille de 4 personnes (2 enfants, 11 et 13 ans) et nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour de deux semaines à 6Stanco. La propriété est idéalement située pour visiter Bologne, Parme, Modène etc.. Nous avons apprécié le calme, la vue magnifique, l'espace (avec tables, chaises, transats) à disposition, la piscine toujours propre, le logement très fonctionnel, les attentions des propriétaires discrets et en même temps très disponibles et chaleureux. Nous avons eu la chance de séjourner en même temps que deux autres familles très sympathiques et les enfants ont pu jouer ensemble dans la piscine et dans la salle commune. Nous recommandons cette adresse sans hésiter.

Familiäres Paradies in Bestlage
Die kleine familiäre Anlage ist exakt wie auf der Seite beschrieben. Ruth und ihre Familie sorgen sich um alle Belange und sind jederzeit ansprechbar und hilfsbereit. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr entspannt und warmherzig. Wir wohnten zu dritt in einem der kleinen Häuschen und hatten eine großartige Zeit. Die schöne Unterkunft ist komplett ausgestattet - wir haben nichts vermisst. Vielen Dank für alles.

Wonderful experience...
... in a scenic landscape and friendly, welcoming people. Our 3 children loved the pool, and we all felt really very welcome by the host. A place we would highly recommend and we definitely will visit again.
