The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 4.5km away.
  • Plenty of daily life within reach — 198 places to eat within 5km.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.7km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG), about 7.7km away.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 14km to the nearest beach.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 53, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.51% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
