The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 1km away.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.4km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport (QSR), about 6.1km away.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 11.5km to the nearest beach.
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 46.
Working against it
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.5 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.
