The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 3.9km away.
  • Plenty of daily life within reach — 90 places to eat within 5km.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Il Caravaggio International Airport (BGY), about 53.3km away.
  • An established international community — 49 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 4.4km to the nearest beach.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 2.26% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
