Epic travellers, in spite of the change in route to arrive here, due to the terrible flooding in the Po valley of Romagna that had just occurred. Delightful guests - highly recommended. So nice to have met you :)

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

Great time in fantastic area

We had a wonderful time, the cottage was just right for us and it was no problem that our son came later in the week to stay - Ruth simply prepared everything for him on the day he arrived! The surroundings are fantastic, the beautiful garden with a view and the pool were just what we were looking for. Great places to eat out are also nearby and the little kitchen is perfect for preparing meals as well.

Wonderful place to stay

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

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!!

super-relaxing time in Grizzana Morandi

very warm welcome, detailed introduction to everything you need to know for the stay and what's around; very clean flat, well equipped with everything you need, even the "small" things; Ruth is super-friendly and discrete, very helpful in all cases; this is a well maintained private property, pool is super to cool-down, sun at that pool from early morning till later evening (be careful...); phenomenal view into the countryside; so if you would like to relax, this is a perfect place (we had only 2 other guests during our stay); fast internet in the flat and even outside at the pool Ivonne & Frank

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.

Delighted to welcome your family here every time, Ian and to see your kids growing up! I chose to live here and am the biggest fan of the area and everything it has to offer. Compared to more touristy hot spots of the Nearest Art cities and Northern Tuscany - you eat better here at half the price. Best wishes and hope to welcome you 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.

Het appartement was ruim, badkamer uitstekend, heerlijke douche, kraakhelder, keuken heel goed uitgerust met keukenvoorraad, zowel servies als pannen, borden, glaswerk etc. en besteklade in overvloed, zeer schoon, hartelijk welkom, met prosecco, blik koffie, gekoeld water, douchefris, afwasmiddel, basiskruiden om te koken, alles was er. Super!!! Mooi zwembad, altijd heel vriendelijk contact met de eigenaren, het voelde meteen als vriendschap. Goede gesprekken gehad, niet simpelweg over het weer, maar echte gesprekken over van alles en nog wat. Zeer aan te bevelen, wij komen zeker terug!! Dank voor de geweldige week!

Ort der Entspannung in der Natur

Wir hatten eine gute Woche bei Ruth im 6 Stanco. Die Wohnung in einem ungebauten Heuboden hatte Charme und einen Blick ins Grüne und die Landschaft. Auf dem Grundstück gibt es einen schön gestalteten Garten mit diversen Sitzmöglichkeiten. Für uns war die ruhige Lage in der Natur genau richtig zur Erholung nach den Besichtigungen der umliegenden Städte. ( Bologna, Modena, Dozza, Ravenna) Wir bedanken uns für die freundliche aufmerksame Betreuung bei Ruth und Andrea.

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!

Giacomina

We had a great stay in Giacomina and the apartment was perfect for a family with 2 or 3 childrens. The pool was very nice and clean. Ruth is a fantastic host that really does everything for her guests. Walking distance to restaurants. The only minus was that there could had been a fantastic view if they had cut down some bushes and trees around the pool and outside the apartment window. Thank you for a great stay!
