The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport (PEG), about 72.8km away.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 1,957 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.71% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 8 places to eat within 5km.

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