Averara

This is a very small community with a population of just 170 residents, making it an ideal choice if you’re seeking genuine quiet and close-knit village life. The intimate scale means you’ll quickly become known to your neighbors, and the pace of daily life will be notably slower than what you may be accustomed to.

As a tiny settlement, Averara requires realistic expectations about services and accessibility. There is no train station, so having a car or arranging alternative transport will be essential for reaching larger towns and cities. This also means that shopping, medical appointments, and entertainment will likely involve travel to nearby areas.

Healthcare is an important consideration. While we cannot confirm whether an English-speaking GP is available locally, you should plan to research medical facilities in the surrounding region before relocating.

Despite its small size, the town offers what many retirees seek: a genuine Italian village experience away from tourist crowds, lower living costs, and the opportunity to build a simple, peaceful life. This location suits those who are independent, flexible about accessing services, and genuinely committed to embracing a quiet, rural lifestyle. It’s not suitable for those who value convenient access to amenities or frequent social infrastructure.
