Mores
About Mores
This small Sardinian town has a population of around 1,800 residents, offering a genuinely quiet, intimate community setting. If you’re seeking somewhere without the bustle of larger centres, Mores delivers exactly that experience.
A few practical considerations warrant mention. There is no train station in Mores, so you’ll need reliable access to a car for getting around the region and reaching larger towns. This is an important factor if you prefer not to drive or if mobility becomes a concern later on. Regarding healthcare, there is no confirmed English-speaking GP in town, which means medical appointments may require translation assistance or travel to nearby centres with better English provision.
Despite these limitations, the town’s small size creates the kind of tight-knit community environment many retirees value. Daily life moves at a relaxed pace, and the cost of living in a place this size tends to be modest. You’ll find authentic local life here rather than expat infrastructure, which appeals to those wanting genuine integration into Italian culture.
Before committing to Mores, spend time understanding the practical implications of its location and services. This is a town for retirees who are mobile, adaptable, and genuinely comfortable with a slower, more self-sufficient lifestyle.
