Located just a few minutes’ drive from Umbria Holiday Home, Arrone is a picturesque medieval
village considered one of the most beautiful in the Valnerina area. Set along the banks of the
Nera River, the village takes its name from the Roman commander Arrone, who according to
tradition founded the settlement around the 10th century. Its stone walls, narrow alleys and
ancient towers tell the story of a fascinating and distant past.
Strolling through the historic centre, visitors can admire the Church of San Giovanni Battista,
home to valuable frescoes, and Piazza Garibaldi, the heart of local life. Arrone is also a gateway
to a wide range of outdoor activities, from rafting on the Nera River to cycling routes and
panoramic trails winding through olive groves and woodland.
In spring and summer, the village comes alive with traditional festivals and local markets, where
you can taste typical Umbrian products and meet local people. A visit to Arrone is a journey
back in time, immersed in the authentic beauty of Umbria.
