We have stayed at this B and B twice now, and would highly recommend this property. A charming medieval village nestled in a mountainous region of Abruzzo. We were fortunate enough to partake in the Madonna del SS. Rosaria. The views and location are indescribable. Alberto kept in close contact with us as we planned and travelled internationally to reach our destination. Not only does he speak fluent English, he also assisted us with local contacts, transportation and recommendations. The daily homemade breakfast his mother Maria prepares and accommodations were exceptional. He even waited with my husband and I, to introduce us to my cousin's wife whom I never met. He truly cares about his clients. We left our heart in our ancestors' home.

Alberto and his mother provided us with great service and made us feel right at home. The daily morning breakfast was fresh and had many options to choose from. This B&B is a hidden gem right in the heart of Pacentro. I will definitely stay at this B&B when I return back to Pacentro. Thank you again Alberto for a wonderful experience.

The B&B In Centro is beautifully decorated and located off of Piazza Jaringhi, one of the two main piazzas in Pacentro. Our room was always clean and the bed was made daily. The view of the Mountain Morrone was right outside our window. One of the things I enjoyed most was that the owners, Alberto and Fiorentina, accommodated breakfast with our schedule. The breakfast buffet always had a variety of cold items such as yogurt, fresh fruit, juices, meats, and cheeses. A hot meal of eggs, prepared as we ordered, was also an option. Breakfast cakes were offered at the end of the meal. They also served fabulous espresso drinks such as cappuccino and latte. Since we were there for an extended period of time, we would have liked an option for an additional hot serving instead of eggs, maybe French toast or waffles/pancakes. Not having them was not a big deal though. Also, the view from the breakfast terrace was spectacular, even though construction next door partially hindered it. I highly recommend this place if you are planning to stay for a few days and get immersed into the town of Pacentro.

This was the best part of our stay. We were right in the middle of everything. The location was perfect and we even got a history lesson on the building and also down the street. Alberto, our host, was perfect and the breakfast could not have been better! The views from the terrace are simply breathtaking.

As a solo traveler visiting B&B In Centro a Pacentro for the first time, I was warmly welcomed by the host, Alberto Cercone. Upon viewing a wall display of photographic portraits of his ancestors, I was able to talk about my grandfather, who grew up in Pacentro during the 1920s. From the outside patio, I observed the magnificent view of the mountains, and Alberto pointed out the marker for the starting point of the annual barefoot race down the mountain.

This family-owned B&B was exactly what we were hoping for. Alberto was wonderfully communicative from the day I booked months ago, to the day we left. The location is perfect, parking was easy, and the hospitality was unmatched. Breakfasts were charming and delicious and it was great to meet Alberto's mother and be spoiled with her homemade bread and cakes each morning alongside local meats and cheeses. Alberto gave us recommendations for meals in town and went the extra mile to make reservations for us as well - all of which were excellent. We will be back and would recommend In Centro B&B to anyone traveling to Abruzzo/Majella region of Italy.

I found a good quality/price ratio considering that we were 4, me and my partner with the 2 children, well accommodated in 2 rooms with necessary amenities. The hospitality of the manager and his family was excellent, providing useful tips on how to get around. The structure and place to be reviewed in a milder and more flowery season to take advantage of other features of the place. We were pleased to be your guests.

Alberto and his mother were fabulous hosts. They allowed us to check in early and accommodated my family of five perfectly. Every morning there was a delicious breakfast for us with an incredible view of the mountains. The location couldn't be better, the B&B is down the street from the cafe, bar, and a few restaurants. I look forward to future stays.

We stayed at the B&B while visiting Pacentro based on recommendations from a few family members. It was exactly as described and we were welcomed by Alberto who was always available during our stay and responded quickly to messages. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio to enjoy our breakfast. I would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone visiting Pacentro. If we go back, we will absolutely stay at the B&B again.

Alberto (owner) and his mother were fantastic hosts. Personable, helpful, and very kind. The public spaces in the house were absolutely beautiful— the house has been in the family for 5 generations so there are historical photos and a beautiful historic feel to the decor. And my room was beautifully decorated, very clean, comfortable, and with an updated/modern bathroom. Pacentro is a magical village for a visit, and this is THE best place to stay! I’d love to return to Pacentro and I will definitely stay here again!

Pacentro is a lovely town, not to be missed! And staying at this exquisite bed & breakfast made it that much better. Our hosts were truly delightful people, with a long and interesting family history here in Pacentro. Our room was comfortable with a panoramic view of the mountains. Breakfast was extensive and delicious and we enjoyed it on the terrace overlooking the town and mountains beyond. Just a perfect setting. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We hope to return in the very near future.

What can I say. You can't ask for more. Very well-kept B&B. Old family house well renovated. Inside you live the history. Practically a very well-kept museum. Very comfortable rooms, practically nothing is missing. Breathtaking view of the mountains. What about the breakfast. Excellent with local products and homemade cakes. Served on a terrace with a dream view. Everything taken care of in the smallest details. Then there's Alberto, the owner, a kind and very attentive person. Practically an open book. Prepared on itineraries and places to visit. Don't look for anything, rely on him. Truly the number 1. Also spot-on restaurant recommendations. Thank you Alberto. A stay like few others.

Stayed at this property for one night, Alberto the owner, a very helpful and professional person welcoming us and entertaining us with a brief story of how this structure full of memories and passion in keeping alive what his ancestors built over time. During breakfast, we were served by a lady 'I believe Alberto's mother', a very discreet person, certainly cultured and full of healthy principles. If you decide to stay in this splendid Abruzzese village, consider this property.

A sincere thank you to Alberto and mom who with their cordiality, competence, suggestions, have allowed us to discover a splendid Village located in a fantastic land enriched by the warmth and simplicity of its People. Unforgettable the view from the terrace where you can enjoy a great breakfast, then you go down and walk in the center among alleys, little streets and squares, a full of fresh water from the Majella fountain and off you go! For us a sort of dive into the past where feelings and emotions perhaps forgotten are found and relived! Thank you!

We stayed in this lovely B&B in the center of the charming town of Pacentro for three nights in October, I wish we could have stayed longer. The B&B is very comfortable and clean. The hosts, Alberto and his mother, are very friendly, helpful and justifiably proud of their B&B. The mountain view from the rooms and breakfast terrace at the rear of the property is great. And I can't forget to mention the breakfasts prepared by Alberto's mother, which are great, plenty of variety to choose from and delicious. All in all we can highly recommend this B&B.

This special B&B is a destination in itself. Our hosts, Alberto and his mother, were warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about their town. The breakfast was delicious and freshly made with local ingredients. The view is spectacular and truly panoramic, especially from the wonderful balcony. Alberto helped us with arranging dinner reservations and sightseeing. Pristine rooms and facility, everything was exceptionally clean. We stayed in the "panoramic" room and it lived up to its name. This B&B is in a historic building with beautifully decorated interiors and a perfect location in the center. By the end of our stay, we felt that our host were our friends and we did not want to leave. I would recommend to anyone vacationing in Italy that they make time to come to this very special place. 10/10 in all categories. We will come back.

Alberto and his family made our trip a memory that we'll never forget. First of all, Pacentro is a town out of a magical storybook. I'm well traveled, and I'll never forget this place. Alberto responded to every email, and even came and picked us up personally from the bus stop. He was always friendly and couldn't do enough for us. His mom is so kind and sweet. By the way, the view from our room and breakfast area was so beautiful. I just can't say enough about Alberto, his family, and B&B In Centro a Pacentro. You'll never forget this place! Don't stay anywhere else. I can't wait to go back.

Thank you Alberto.

We stayed in Pacentro in December for just one night. The B&B is located in the center, it is possible to park in front of the structure or at most 100 meters away. The owner Alberto was very kind and helpful in providing us with all the information we needed. We stayed in the Majella room which is very cozy, spacious, clean, and warm. The en-suite bathroom is very large and recently renovated. The breakfast is plentiful with various types of homemade pastries and can be enjoyed in the lounge overlooking the village: beautiful. In summer, you could also take advantage of a terrace with a view of the very characteristic historic center. I hope to return soon. As you have well understood, the B&B is highly recommended (also for the very affordable price).

The structure is very welcoming. The owners (Alberto and his mother) are very kind, helpful, and hospitable. My wife, my three-year-old son, and I felt right at home. The breakfast is fantastic: different cakes (apple pie, nevole) homemade by the owner, savory pizzettes from the adjacent bakery, jams, yogurt, fruit juices, and the living room where breakfast is served is a place from another time. Try it to believe it.

stayed from 05/02/2014 to 05/04/2014

The breakfast prepared at home and fresh every morning, always different, is undoubtedly the added value of this structure compared to many B&Bs that claim to be such. The accommodation itself is very modern, new, and well-furnished. It is located in a wonderful context, in one of the beautiful medieval villages that Italy still preserves intact, allowing you to take a plunge into the past and breathe clean air among the mountains of the Majella Park. The welcome was excellent and exquisite, and I will return soon for another break.
