The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 2.5km away.
  • Plenty of daily life within reach — 127 places to eat within 5km.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport (VRN), about 25.8km away.
  • An established international community — 38 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 1km to the nearest beach.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.2% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.

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