Ittiri

Situated in Sardinia, this quiet town is home to around 8,300 residents, offering a genuinely small-community atmosphere for those seeking a slower pace of life. The modest population means you’ll likely develop meaningful connections with locals while still maintaining the anonymity a larger settlement might provide.

A practical consideration for your retirement planning: there is no train station in town, so you’ll need reliable access to a car for travel to other areas. This isn’t uncommon in Sardinian towns, but it’s worth factoring into your daily life and any plans to explore the wider region.

Healthcare is an important factor when choosing where to retire. While we cannot confirm the availability of an English-speaking GP in Ittiri, this is something you’d want to investigate thoroughly before deciding to relocate. You may need to consider nearby larger towns or the regional hospital for specialist care or English-language medical support.

The town represents the authentic side of Sardinian life, away from tourist crowds. If you value a genuine, unhurried existence in a tight-knit community and are comfortable managing transport independently, Ittiri could be worth exploring further during a research visit.
