Bisenti is a welcoming, active village in the foothills of Teramo with a history dating back to Roman times. It is widely believed to be the birthplace of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judaea, and local pride in that heritage runs deep. Today, the village is home to a warm mix of friendly locals and international residents, with a full calendar of events throughout the year.

The highlight of the autumn calendar is the October white wine festival, a hugely popular celebration of the local Montonico wine that draws visitors from across the region and is not to be missed. Restaurants, a butcher, a baker, bars and a community garden are all within easy walking distance of the apartment.

Everything a Family Could Want

The Terrace & Outdoor Space

At the heart of the apartment is a 55 m² sun-drenched private terrace, one of its real highlights. Furnished with sun loungers, a sofa and a dining table and chairs, it’s a proper outdoor living space where mornings start slowly over coffee and evenings stretch long into the warm Abruzzo air.  Every room also has its own private balcony, so there’s always somewhere to catch a breeze or watch the village go by.  During the summer season, guests also have access to a small outdoor inflatable swimming pool that children love,  a welcome bonus on hotter days.

Space & Comfort Inside

At 180 m², the apartment offers generous, flexible space for a family. The separate fitted kitchen keeps cooking apart from relaxing, while the open-plan dining and living room gives everyone room to spread out.  Both bedrooms have large wardrobes with plenty of storage, and a dedicated room includes a cot, changing table and feeding chair, meaning families with babies or toddlers can travel light.  There are two bathrooms: one with a full bath, one with a shower. Secure off-street parking and reliable WiFi (27 Mbps download / 22.7 Mbps upload) complete the picture.
