The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport (QSR), about 85.4km away.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 1,754 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 2.23% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 8.6km.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 1 places to eat within 5km.
