The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 1.1km away.
  • Plenty of daily life within reach — 189 places to eat within 5km.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.7km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport (PEG), about 10.2km away.
  • An established international community — 508 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • A sizeable town — around 162,384 residents — with city-style amenities and pace.
Working against it
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.5 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.
