The village belongs to the Metropolitan City of Sassari and is part of the historical region of Logudoro-Meilogu. As a member of the Union of Meilogu Municipalities, the town maintains its local structures and offers visitors an authentic insight into the island's rural life. Geographically, the community is situated about 25 to 30 kilometres southeast of Sassari and roughly 150 kilometres north of the regional capital, Cagliari. Despite its small size, the village actively participates in regional administrative alliances and preserves its character as a traditional inland Sardinian settlement.

The municipality of Bessude is strategically located within the Rural District of Mejlogu in the province of Sassari. Situated approximately 24 to 30 kilometres from the provincial capital of Sassari, the village is well-connected to the regional transport network. The town lies in northwestern Sardinia within the historic Logudoro region. Its connection to major urban centres such as Cagliari to the south is complemented by its central location in the north of the island, with the municipality deeply integrated into the administrative structures of the Metropolitan City of Sassari. The surrounding area is defined by the typical hilly landscape of Meilogu.

Culture
