See

 * It is the village as a whole rather than any particular sight that is appealing, although you would not want to miss the watchtower and the remarkably narrow street past it.
 * There is a small lake just outside the walls.

Eat

 * Hotel Restaurant del Cavaliere, Via della Giudea, This is just outside the wall; their lentil soup is particularly good.

Sleep

 * The Residenza la Torre is not a single place but consists of a number of restored apartments, the restoration tastefully planned by an architect owner. The owner or a family member will let you into your apartment and leave you some food for breakfast, book you a meal at the local restaurant if you wish and then leave you until the morning.
