The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.5km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA), about 48.9km away.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 1,882 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.53% 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.
