Set in the intimate village of Stanco, 6Stanco is a group of stone buildings surrounding a courtyard, originally the main landowner's home, with private chapel, barn and haywain, 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. no air-conditioning is necessary here in July & August as even after very hot days, a cooler woodland breeze arrives in the evenings and the mountain panorama is breathtaking. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Up to 10 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - Front entrance ramp - Handrails in stairways (90 centimetre high) - In-room accessibility - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Blackout drapes - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - On a lake - On a river ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Golf - Gym - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Biodegradable coffee stirrers available - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Solar energy - Unit size: 1,130 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32650000/32647300/32647243/42d7b25b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Giuseppina - converted stone barn with spectacular mountain scenery & pool Bologna - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=32647243&PinnedHotelID=32647243&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![4 bedrooms, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/59000000/58050000/58047500/58047446/91f4461c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### RIO ROSSO LUXURY COUNTRY VILLA Emilia-Romagna - Pool - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi £748 includes taxes & fees 13 Feb - 14 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-13&endDate=2026-02-14&selected=58047446&PinnedHotelID=58047446&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95490000/95485500/95485485/eeac3c96.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family apartment: sleeps 6, Use of garden, sunbeds and swimming pool.

We had a very good arrival at the house with Ruth, the host. She gave us some tips to eat and made the reservations to the restaurants because I don't speak much italian. The house was very wel equiped and very spacious. Big kitchen, good quality beds and 2 bathrooms. And a nice swimmingpool outside with fantastic view on the surrounding mountains. At a few miles you have Grizzana Morandi where you can find a small grocerieshop, a bakery and even a small bar where you can have a drink. We loved our stay.

Für zwei Personen bietet das ruhige Haus mit drei Schlafzimmern viel Platz. Die Terrasse liegt vorteilhaft nach hinten, direkt vor dem Pool, der immer sauber ist. Die Anlage ist gut gepflegt und Ruth kümmert sich um alles. Da nebenan Feriensprachkurse für Jugendliche geboten wurden, war es am Pool abends nicht immer ganz ruhig. Um nach Bologna zu kommen, braucht man etwas mehr als eine Stunde, da Grizzana hoch auf dem Hügel liegt, die Straßen dahin zum Teil etwas eng und kurvenreich sind. Insgesamt eine gute Wahl, die wir empfehlen können. ##### B G.

Le cadre exceptionnel nous a laissé sans voix…. Cependant, la canicule de cet été n’a pas facilité nos nuits qui ont été plutôt compliqués entre cette chaleur et les moustiques très présents. Vraiment dommage qu’il n’y avait pas de climatisation ou des ventilateurs. Il manquait également cruellement de volets nous permettant de profiter pleinement des grasses matinées tant attendues en vacances….

For us, the hosting was spot-on; welcoming and helpful, whilst giving us the space to feel at home. The villa was spotless and we took full advantage of the pool, abundant fig tree, and nights gazing at the stars. There would have been more beach volleyball if it hadn’t been so hot! We were slightly disappointed with the trip to Rochetta Mattei, only available with English audio guide, half of which didn’t work. However, we more than made up for it with trips to Bologna, picking up delicious pastries at the bakery in Grizzana, and porchetta at Vergato market. Wonderful introduction to Emila-Romagna. ##### Judith K.

Ruth è una ospite fantastica, instancabile e sempre attenta alle esigenze degli ospiti, impeccabilmente discreta. La villa è bella ben arredata pulitissima e completa di ogni attrezzatura. E che dire della bella piscina proprio di fronte alla villa? Comodissima nelle calde giornate di questa torrida estate, al rientro da gite, escursioni e passeggiate. Ambiente collinare con bei paesaggi e tramonti impagabili. Un'appennino a mio avviso poco valutato ma che vale la pena di scoprire entrando nel merito di cultura e tradizioni locali. Consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro che cercano un oasi di tranquillità e relax abbinato a confort e ricercatezza. Grazi di tutto Ruth un caro saluto. Paola e famiglia. ##### Paola S.

Wonderful walks, gracious folks, delicious breads at Antica Forneria bakery in Grizzana Morandi & meals at La Prada just south of rental. Olimpia is very relaxing and well stocked. A keeper! ##### Lynn D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christof N. 12 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sehr entspannte Woche Zu viert haben wir in dieser sehr schönen Unterkunft im kleinen Bergdorf gewohnt, ungestört und naturnah. Radfahren (vorher bitte das passende Ritzelpaket für erhebliche Anstiege montieren) war wegen der geringen Verkehrsdichte wunderbar möglich, Wandern genauso. Man konnte aber auch einfach mal zu Hause bleiben und Pool und Terrasse genießen. Der Ausflug nach Bologna hat uns viel Freude gemacht, die Stadt ist sehr sehenswert. Ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt. Vielen Dank ##### Christof N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hilary F. 27 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect place for a relaxing and peaceful holiday 6Stanco is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The villa is a gorgeous mix of old and new and is well equipped for a family of 6 which we were. The pool is fantastic and even with other people staying at the same time as we were it never felt crowded. Stanco itself is very small and quiet with a lovely, traditional Italian feel. There are 2 restaurants within walking distance. We tried La Prada and it’s worth going just for the sunset views. Amazing. Ruth is a perfect host. So welcoming from the first enquiry to greeting us when we arrived and hosting a fabulous dinner for all the guests on our third night. If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing week in beautiful surroundings then I can’t recommend 6Stanco highly enough. Thank-you Ruth and Andrea! ##### Hilary F. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan B. 21 Aug 2018 #### This is a lovely place to either stay and relax - or stay and explore the wider area. We did both. Ruth and her husband Andrea are very welcoming hosts. We were lucky to arrive at the time of community festivities and made welcome by the local community. Sunset by the pool or on the small terrace adjacent to Olimpia was a lovely way to end a day. The villa is well appointed. Only slight niggles are that the internet is slow at times and I don’t like paying ‘extras’ - would rather cleaning and pool towels were included in the price. ##### Susan B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sarah l. 14 Aug 2018 #### Perfection! This is the third time we’ve stayed at 6Stanco ... and we come back for good reason. Ruth, our host, delivers an outstanding service. She’s completely in the background unless you need something - then she’s right there, sorting it for you if you need help. For example, my husband is a wheelchair user and we wanted to use the local train to Florence (only an hour away, incidentally - I’ll come on to location next...). She got up incredibly early and escorted us to the station, helping us load the train with husband, wheelchair and 2 kids (I could manage myself!). She and her husband host a meal with all the residents each week (villa & 2 loft apartments) which is lovely - they speak fluent French, Italian (obviously) and English. They also do a bit of German & Dutch. 6Stanco is positioned LITERALLY perfectly for exploring so many parts of northern Italy. Bologna (where we usually fly in to) is 40 mins away (and as stunning as Florence, in our view), Modena (worth it just for the authentic balsamic), Ravenna, Parma, Pisa, Ferrara and, of course, Florence are easily doable as a day trip. You won’t find more stunning views across the border in Tuscany...we don’t think, anyway. There are two fab restaurants within walking distance of the property and they’re very reasonably priced too. If you want to stay in, the villa has its own patio with STUNNING sunset views. It also had a full kitchen with many basics included for your use (who wants to buy a bottle of olive oil or condiments on holiday??) it even has fresh filter coffee waiting for you in the fridge (alongside the bottle of Prosecco). The loft apartments also have cooking facilities and a shared large patio - you can even use a BBQ. We’ve always had a really good time with the other guests - but you can keep yourself to yourself too, if you prefer. The pool is plenty big enough for all the guests, but is often free during the day as many people go visiting the numerous cities and towns on day trips. So if you fancy an indulgent rest one day, you’re likely to have peace & quiet. We’ll be back again - we can’t imagine a better place to spend quality family time together...and we’ve done a decent amount of travelling over the years. You need to hire a car to get to places, but you won’t be disappointed - be ready to experience the best of italy! ##### sarah l.

It was very clean, spacious and really well equipped with a washing machine, dishwasher, cooking utensils and books for example. The owners Ruth and Andreas were very helpful and welcoming. Our children had hours of fun in the great pool, trampoline and spacious cool play room. The WiFi was excellent supporting many devices at once, our family really tested the bandwidth! With lovely views all around it felt like we were on top of the world. The local pizza night was lovely, with tasty pizza and a friendly community. Great location for Etruscan heritage, WW2 history, and visits to Florence, Bologna, and the Lamborghini and Ferrari museums. Fab pizza in Bambu in Vergato and lovely meal in Nel Castagneto. Superb in every way. The B family. ##### Jeffrey B.

What a great holiday in the clean fresh hillside air. But it was still hot too, so the pool and its loungers were so inviting. We stayed in Olimpia, an excellent house and very comfortable with its old world feel of stone wall and wooden beams. The furnishings are attractive and it all bears testimony to Ruth's architectural design skills. She is very helpful indeed. We so enjoyed the terrace for al fresco eating, the peace, the birds flying, the starry skies and those beautifully surprising fireflies which drift around like mini flashing torchlights. It is all only a short car ride to the train station for Florence, Bologna and beyond. We recommend this very highly indeed. ##### Steve T. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2018 ---
