Scores are 0–10, computed only from factors we have data for; coverage shows how complete that is. A low score means a poor fit for that group’s needs, not a bad town. Tap an audience to see what drove its score.

The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Cuneo International Airport (CUF), about 69.3km away.
  • An established international community — 43 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 13.3km to the nearest beach.
  • A small village — around 478 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 3.82% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A markedly older population — 38.9% are over 65 — which can strain local services and schools over time.
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 5 places to eat within 5km.
