The place is very simple, welcoming and at the same time spartan. It is the classic country cottage, located in a wonderful setting. The breakfast is excellent and abundant, based largely on typical products of the same Property. The owners are extremely helpful and welcoming. They do not lack generosity and courtesy. We will definitely come back!

Beautiful place, quiet and immersed in nature, welcoming owner, helpful and very caring towards his guests, the only flaw is one of the two roads to get there that is not paved and with some bumps. Highly recommend.

Nice and characteristic structure, the owner is friendly, I would have preferred a freshly prepared breakfast instead of packaged in the room and I did not find in the booking notes that the structure had a white downhill road to reach it. Then during the stay, I found out that there are two roads. One is paved.

The answer from the host:
Salve Roberto, già da prima del COVID era imbustata ora è praticamente impossibile! Prima la colazione veniva servita in sala pranzo ma per questioni di distanziamento sociale è impossibile. Non faccio io le colazioni perché non solo si potrebbe essere allergici a dei componenti, ma non tutti voi avete i stessi gusti! Es.: fare una crostata di marmellata! a che gusto?..per buttarla il giorno successivo! comunque anche se imbustate (con tanto di scadenza e di ingredienti) spero abbia avuto un'ampia scelta, se non erro: cornetti vuoti da farcire con marmellata di fragole, ciliege, albicocche e pesche, brioche al cioccolato, fette biscottate, biscotti, latte, the, caffè in cialde o in polvere. il tutto in monouso o in ceramica. Ti ricordo che siamo un bed and breakfast e non un agriturismo ed è come se venissi a casa tua a pagamento e tu avresti da offrire tutte queste cose. A me personalmente mi sembra tanta roba! Ma se hai da darmi dei consigli da aggiungere (che non sia yogurt ne frutta, perché torniamo alla differenza di gusto) te ne sarò grata. Laura.

Struttura rurale bellissima e ben restaurata, immersa nella natura delle colline Umbre; ambienti puliti, curati e ben riscaldati. L'ideale per chi ama un soggiorno tranquillo e rilassante lontano dai rumori della città, a poca strada da Montone, uno dei borghi più belli d'Italia. Proprietari simpaticissimi e disponibilissimi, bella gente che ti fa sentire subito tra amici! Siamo rimasti solo una notte, ma torneremo senz'altro! Francesco e Tatjana.

We loved our stay at La Pietra Rara. The hosts, Laura and Alfredo, are wonderful people, and made our visit most enjoyable. This is a real farm with chickens, geese, dogs, birds and a cat. The B&B is perfectly located, making it easy to explore both Tuscany and Umbria. You are near many interesting small towns like Montone, Cortona and Gubbio, plus larger cities like Perugia, Arezzo, Siena and Florence. Wonderful value. We'd love to return.

Abbiamo soggiornato presso il B&B una sola notte ma il posto è davvero bellissimo, la struttura pulita e caratteristica, immersa nelle colline umbre. I gestori molto accoglienti, simpatici e disponibili. Ci torneremo sicuramente per un soggiorno più lungo. Ottimo per i week-end di riposo e per godere di qualche momento di relax.

La Pietra Rara, posto incantevole nelle colline umbre. Laura ed Alfredo sono gestori accoglienti, disponibili e simpatici. Abbiamo trascorso il weekend del Capodanno 2013, rilassante e divertente. Ottimo il comfort e la pulizia. Lo consigliamo vivamente.

Un angolo incantevole alle pendici del borgo più bello d'Italia: Montone. Laura e Alfredo vi accoglieranno con simpatia e dedizione mettendovi a disposizione un alloggio pulito e confortevole ed una piscina invidiabile. Le cene di Laura (a parte) sono veramente squisite, preparerei la colazione in sala da pranzo, ma è il giudizio di un pignolo. Assolutamente consigliato.
