Col di Pietra is an agriturismo (farm stay) in Cessapalombo, in the Sibillini Park in the Sibillini Mountains. It occupies a limestone farmhouse from 1600, fully renovated in 2012, at 600 m above sea level. It has two apartments, a museum of rural life and an outdoor pool. Lago di Fiastra and the Gole del Fiastrone (Fiastrone gorges) are nearby.

Warning Gole del Fiastrone closed by ordinance. Sibillini National Park states that access to the Gole del Fiastrone is forbidden to everyone for safety reasons (Municipality of Fiastra ordinance no. 41/2020). With ordinance no. 39 of July 28, 2022, the Municipality of Fiastra then regulated the use of the trails of the Lame Rosse, the Grotta dei Frati and the Gole del Fiastrone: before setting out, it is advisable to check on the Municipality's website which sections are open and with what restrictions. On the Cessapalombo side, the trail from Monastero to the Grotta dei Frati and the gorges is closed by an ordinance of the Municipality of Cessapalombo because of the danger of falling rocks.
