Las Plassas

This small Sardinian settlement offers a genuinely quiet rural retreat with a population of just 219 residents. If you’re seeking genuine solitude and distance from tourist infrastructure, Las Plassas delivers that in abundance.

Before making the move, there are important practical considerations to weigh. The town has no train station, so you’ll need reliable road transport or be prepared for limited mobility options. This is particularly relevant if you prefer not to drive in later retirement years. Healthcare access requires attention too—while medical care exists in the region, an English-speaking GP is not confirmed in Las Plassas itself, meaning you may need to travel for consultations or rely on translation services.

The extremely small population means community life will be distinctly local and quite different from larger Italian towns. Amenities and services you might expect in more populated areas could be absent or require travel. For many retirees, this isolation is precisely the appeal. For others, it may feel too remote.

This is genuinely a choice for people who want authentic rural living over convenience and familiar infrastructure. It suits those comfortable with self-sufficiency, good Italian language skills or translation support, and independence in getting around. It’s worth visiting multiple times before deciding.
