This small Italian town has a population of just over 1,400 residents, making it a genuinely intimate community where you’re likely to become known quickly. The quiet, unhurried pace here appeals to those seeking to step away from busier urban centers.

For practical considerations, prospective residents should be aware that there is no train station in town, so having access to a car is important for getting around and reaching larger centers. This relative isolation is part of the town’s appeal for those wanting tranquility, but it does require planning for mobility and access to services.

Healthcare is a consideration worth noting. While medical services exist, an English-speaking GP has not been confirmed, which means you may face language barriers when accessing primary care—a significant factor for expats who don’t speak fluent Italian. This would be worth investigating directly with local healthcare providers before deciding to relocate.

If you value peace and small-town living in Italy, this place offers authentic community life. However, it’s best suited to retirees who are comfortable with limited public transport, willing to arrange their own transportation, and prepared to navigate healthcare appointments potentially without English-language support.
