About Borgo d’Anaunia

This small community in Italy has a population of just under 2,500 residents, offering the quiet, intimate atmosphere many retirees seek when relocating abroad. The modest size means you’ll likely become familiar faces in local shops and cafes fairly quickly, which can be an advantage if building community connections matters to you.

A practical consideration for your move: there is no train station in town, so you’ll want to factor in access to nearby transportation hubs if regular travel to larger cities is part of your retirement plans. You may need to rely on car travel or regional bus services for connections beyond the immediate area.

Regarding healthcare, an English-speaking GP has not been confirmed in Borgo d’Anaunia. This is worth investigating further before deciding to settle here, particularly given the importance of accessible medical care during your retirement years. You’ll want to research what medical services are available locally and whether you’d need to travel for English-language healthcare support.

The town’s small population and lack of train connections suggest this is a quieter, more rural setting rather than a hub for services and transport. This suits those genuinely seeking a slower pace of life in an authentic Italian community.
