Welcome to Almatros

OUR HISTORY



We’ve known each other forever, but life took us down different paths for years. Samara, an economist and real estate enthusiast, lives in Milan; Simona, an engineer and property manager, has returned to her beloved Sulmona.
When we reunited, we realized that our expertise and our friendship could give rise to something special.
That’s how ALMATROS was born: a project that combines vision, attention to detail, and a love for the region. Every detail is carefully crafted to offer you an authentic, relaxed stay that’s deeply connected to the soul of the region.

Origins



The name ALMATROS is derived from the initials of the founding family—ALessandro, MAThilde, ROberto, and Samara—and, in its very sound, embodies a story of affection, bonds, and a shared vision.
It deliberately evokes the albatross, a symbol of freedom, elegance, and discovery: a world traveler capable of crossing distant horizons without ever losing its way. A family identity with an international scope that translates into authentic, refined, and deeply human hospitality.

A Place for Every Journey



Whether you’re in town for a romantic getaway, a cultural trip, a nature vacation, or a rejuvenating break between the mountains and the sea, ALMATROS is designed to adapt to your travel style.
Our spaces combine contemporary comfort, minimalist design, and homey warmth, offering places where you can slow down, find your own rhythm, and feel right at home. Every stay is different, but our goal always remains the same: to provide you with an authentic, relaxing, and memorable experience.

With roots in Abruzzo



ALMATROS was founded in the heart of Sulmona, a city rich in history, traditions, and extraordinary landscapes. This is where our recommendations, our favorite itineraries, and our desire to share the wonders of a region still waiting to be discovered with every guest all come to life.
From the mountains of the Maiella National Park to timeless villages, from traditional flavors to the Adriatic coast, Abruzzo has something surprising to offer in every season. Our roots are here, and it is precisely from here that our pleasure in welcoming you and guiding you on a journey to discover an authentic, generous region—one that is deeply elegant in its simplicity—begins.
