Arefu is a commune in Argeș County, Muntenia, Romania. It is composed of three villages: Arefu, Căpățânenii Pământeni (the commune center), and Căpățânenii Ungureni.

[edit]
  • In the game Fallout 3, a settlement in the Capital Wasteland shares its name with Arefu, and is involved in a quest involving faux-vampirism, in reference to the real Arefu's proximity to the castle of Vlad the Impaler.
