Stop At: Il Borgo di Calcata, 01030, Calcata Italy
When we first come upon Calcata, one of the best-preserved medieval hill towns in Italy, you will be amazed at this quaint village perched high atop a mound of volcanic rock.
You will see the small castle, reminding you of a chess piece and you’ll notice the beautiful, dense forest that surrounds the village.
This fortified village appears exactly the way that travelers expect a hill town to look.

Stop At: Parco naturale regionale dell’antichissima citta di Sutri, Via Cassia, 01015 Sutri Italy
It is perhaps the most beautiful and relatively undiscovered Etruscan archeological site in Italy; a lovely little town just an hour from the Eternal City.
The modern commune of Sutri has a few more than 5,000 inhabitants. Its ancient remains are a major draw for tourism including a Roman amphitheater excavated in tufa rock, an Etruscan necropolis with dozens of rock-cut tombs, a Mithraeum incorporated in the crypt of its church of the Madonna del Parto, and a Romanesque Duomo.
