The village, the countryside around it and the welcome that comes with both.
Allerona is a small Umbrian village overlooking the Paglia valley, between Orvieto and the borders with Tuscany and Lazio.
The historic centre gathers around the tower with the town clock, and is best crossed on foot, among stone lanes and openings onto the valley below.
The countryside around Allerona offers circular routes through woods and farmland, such as the Anello della Meana loop — walks the Pro Loco also organises as group outings.
A few minutes by car bring you to Orvieto and its cathedral, the lakes of Bolsena and Chiusi, and the Val di Chiana. Allerona makes a good base for exploring where Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio meet.
