A Dream
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

We Truly Had An Amazing Time
We truly had an amazing time renting this fabulous studio country house. This property had stunning views of mountains & countryside it had a veranda style window and bi folding doors. With open wooden beams, tall cieling with lots of light and a large framed bookcase filled with a great selection of reading books. A self contained little kitchen well stocked with utensils and kitchenware. A lovely solid wooden kitchen table with wooden chairs. A comfy long sofa and a tv and sat tv box. A clothes rail with lots of hangers and a large wooden chest with 6 drawers. Lots of little lights plenty of electric points and plenty of pamphlets and maps with information on the surrounding areas and of the total region. The bathroom was clean and large with a power shower and flushing toilet lots of hot water and good central heating. The little mezzanine bedroom had a very large clean cozy bed with lovely cotton bedding. Bedside cabinets and lights. With a long wodden chest with little individual boxes. We slept so very well for 5 nights. Beautiful space to relax and recupetate with fantastc views. Great communication very fast responses in both English and Italian speaking owners. We booked 2 days before arriving and everyone was completely super about our very short notice booking. The owners were very kind and thoughtful so very friendly and sociable to me and my partner. We had a fabulous few hours with them chatting drinking and eating cheese. They shared their local knowlwdge and experiences with us making us feel utterly relaxed and part of the family. We thank them from our heart for their generousity and time. We could not asked for a better romantic property searching vacation. Cannot wait to return. Thanks so much also to Claudia who was brilliant.

Great place to chill in The Apennines
Thoroughly enjoyed our week near Grizzana Morandi. The accommodation complex run by Ruth & Andrea is wonderful & quiet. They are very pleasant people to deal with and know how to entertain the small group of people staying here this week at the pizza & wine night in their kitchen. This was exactly as we thought it would be ... there are a couple of very nice restaurants nearby ... Ruth can point you in the right direction.

Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful location
This was a great place to stay for us (2 adults and toddler). The villa was clean and beautifully presented. The pool was lovely and set against the amazing views. Ruth is a wonderful host and is there to answer any questions you have. the train station is only a 5-10 min car ride away and we easily went to Bologna,Florence, Modena and Pisa from the accommodation.there are some lovely restaurants nearby for lunch too. I would highly recommend this property.

Fabulous place with fabulous hosts!
Early spring in the mountains. Quiet and beautiful. Super location, close to station/cultural cities as Bologna and Florence. Fantastic view from the old barn with the most charming old ceiling. Super well equipped apartment. We can only recommend visiting Ruth in her wonderful medieval home. She is a fantastic host meeting you with great hospitality. Go there!!

Peaceful and picturesque
We had a wonderful stay in our studio at 6Stanco for 2 weeks in September. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the pool daily. The apartment was spotless, airy and light and had everything we needed for a fortnight. Ruth was a fabulous host with lots of recommendations for us in the local area and further afield. We came with an 8 month old baby and Ruth was wonderful and provided a cot with linen, a high chair and toys for her. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Fabulous place to unwind & explore Emilia-Romagna & Tuscany
Set up in the hills, Stanco is a great place to base yourself if you want to combine rest & relaxation with a little bit of sightseeing in the region of Emilia-Romagna & also Tuscany. Our 3rd time staying here. We have done day trips to Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Ferrara, Bologna, San Marino, Siena, Montecatini Terme and many more... There is a train station in Grizzana Morandi is you want to leave the car parked up & go visit somewhere rather than driving. The swimming pool is great & there is nothing like buying your fresh meat, cheeses, bread in Vergato & having lunch outdoors looking at the stunning rolling mountains & valley scenery. Similarly at night sitting out under the stars enjoying a drink. Nel Castagneto restaurant is just 2 minutes drive away back in the direction of Grizzana Morandi & Cristina is very welcoming & makes the best Italian dishes we ever tasted. Everything is perfect for a lovely family holiday. Ruth & Andrea are great hosts & they even host a dinner for guests who are staying to meet each other & socialise. We will definitely return again in the future.

Warm welcome, beautiful and peaceful spot, excellent pool
What can we say - we were here for the third year running - we enjoy this spot and the warm hospitality by Ruth and Andrea very much. We were there during the recent heatwave in Italy but the excellent pool made all the difference to keeping us cool. Grizzana Morandi is close to the motorway meaning cities such as Bologna and Modena are easy to reach. Alternatively there is a local railway station - to go to Florence for example. The place appeals to families and every time we have been, all of us have enjoyed the company of other families staying at the property.

Faszinierendes Erlebnis in traumhafter Lage
Die traumhafte Lage, die überaus geschmackvolle und praktische Ausstattung, Sauberkeit und Funktionalität des Hauses und seiner unmittelbaren Umgebung haben unsere Erwartungen voll und ganz erfüllt, ja übertroffen. Ein Ort, den man gerne noch einmal besucht! Faszinierende Ausblicke auf die Berglandschaft des Apennin, der erfrischende Pool, eine freundliche Gastgeberin, die Nähe zu Bologna und anderen Kulturstädten machten den Aufenthalt zu einem faszinierendem Erlebnis!
