A delightful rural location then, and with historic Cortona on your doorstep. So ancient is this town that the medieval walls are a fairly recent addition - most of the 3km of defensive walls date from the 5th century BC and were built by the Etruscans. The streets within climb steeply up the side of Monte Sant'Egidio, and the city gives amazing views - down to Lake Trasimeno, the Valdichiana and the mountains of Siena to the west. The slopes down from the town are planted with terraces of olive grove and vineyard - these lands have been farmed for countless centuries.
