An invitation to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with nature: in the heart of Tuscia, the Cherry Blossom Walk in Celleno returns—an event designed for lovers of sustainable tourism, light trekking, and authentic outdoor experiences.
Located in central Italy, in the Lazio region, Celleno—known as the “ghost village”—is a remarkable example of a preserved rural landscape, where history, nature, and traditions coexist in harmony. Increasingly appreciated by travelers seeking low-impact experiences, the village is easily accessible (90 minutes from Rome, 40 minutes from Orvieto), making it ideal for a day of slow mobility and local exploration.
The initiative offers an accessible guided walk along scenic paths crossing key locations such as Piazza Luigi Razza, Loc. Greppe, the Ghost Village, and Acquaforte. The highlight is the cherry blossom bloom, a natural phenomenon that enhances local biodiversity and provides an immersive experience of colors, scents, and countryside tranquility.
Known as the “village of cherries”, Celleno celebrates its agricultural heritage, and the spring bloom becomes a perfect moment to rediscover the connection between community, farming, and territory. A model of sustainable rural tourism, combining physical activity, environmental awareness, and the promotion of local products.
At the end of the walk, participants can join an optional communal lunch, with simple offerings suitable for families, in line with the spirit of sharing and authenticity.
“This initiative,” says Mayor Luca Beraldo, “enhances our territory in a sustainable way, promoting an active lifestyle and direct contact with nature. Celleno is an ideal destination for those seeking authentic experiences with respect for the environment.”

Among trails, blossoms, and unspoiled landscapes, the event confirms itself as a slow and conscious tourism experience in Lazio, away from mass tourism.

The village has been featured by The Telegraph among the most charming “lost in time” villages in Italy, strengthening its reputation as an authentic and sustainable destination.
