The best ice cream i've ever had, truly and only 15mins from us! And they do takeaway tubs if you want to be super indulgent, which everybody does when they're on holiday in the land of food!

Sightseeing
A tiny medieval hill top town, can look around it in less than half an hour, but it's definitely worth a visit. Very pretty & has nice views from the top. If you want you can walk around the walls at a height (they charge for this) and lookout onto your surroundings. Handful of nice restaurants. One in particular that does an amazing wild boar ragu! I like to go just before sunset so you can take it in, in the last of the daylight and then seat and eat in the square in a picturesque setting.
