Situated like many Etruscan cities, on a high plateau (away, way up). The ancient Etruscan walls surrounding the old city still stand and you wonder how the heck they built this city and moved the stones to the tops of the mountain top. The views over the surrounding hills are spectacular. This was one of my favourite places to visit. The interior of the walled town was unique and gave a true feeling of medieval life and it is not spoilt by the tourism. Mind you, we visited off season so we did not experience the bus tour type crowds. It was like we had the town to ourselves. We wandered the streets discovering ancient Roman ruins, old churches and alabaster carving shops and galleries. Finding parking for your car, a standup wine bar, a gilato shop and public toilets are key to a successful days excursion.
