Residenza Re Manfredi is a family home where our beloved grandparents and their two children were born and lived for many years, before moving closer to the city of Teramo for work-related reasons. This house holds the warmth and memories of generations, embracing guests in a truly authentic family atmosphere. Over the years, several improvements have been made to make the space even more welcoming — and now, in 2025, we’ve decided to share this peaceful haven with you. Trekking and e-bike tours available upon request with experienced local guides.

My name is Luca, and I have always felt a deep connection to this land. The house, once owned by my family, was more than just a building — it was memory, roots, and identity. Over time, I felt the need not only to restore it, but to bring it back to life and give it new meaning, creating a welcoming place where others could discover the hidden wonders of this area. I strongly believe in the value of the Laga region — wild, authentic, rich in history and emotion. Residenza Re Manfredi is my way of sharing all of this and contributing to the revival of a corner of Abruzzo that deserves to be experienced, loved, and told.
