Villa Ripa

Villa Ripa near Teramo in Abruzzo Italy

Villa Ripa is a frazione (suburb) of the commune of Teramo, from which it lies a little more than two miles in distance to the east. Both are located in the Abruzzo Region of Italy. The town sits on a hill dividing the Tordino Valley from the Rio Grande canal. In the year 2007 it had a population of about 700 people.

The most recently developed areas were put into place after the Second World War and sit beyond the village’s bell tower to the east. A second building boom occurred in the 1980’s with the construction of several housing clusters and apartment-type buildings along the Italian State Highway 80 (SS 80). Among these are a number of buildings designated for low income families. The village hosts a small nursery school which serves not only the residents of Villa Ripa but also those from several small surrounding communities.

There are no hotels or hostels in Villa Ripa. Visitors to this village can locate accommodations through regional websites such as AbruzzoVillas or by staying at Casale in nearby Valle San Giovanni.
