The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG), about 65.5km away.
  • An established international community — 36 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 4.5km to the nearest beach.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 55, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.61% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 4 places to eat within 5km.

Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
