The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 5km away.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 2.2km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG), about 84.6km away.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 13.7km to the nearest beach.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.54% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
