The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.3km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Turin Airport (TRN), about 42.5km away.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 14.8km to the nearest beach.
  • A small village — around 1,036 residents — quiet by nature.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 54, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.52% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 7 places to eat within 5km.
