The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 3.1km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG), about 11.6km away.
  • An established international community — 237 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 9.9km to the nearest beach.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.54% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.

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