Mori
About Mori
This small Italian town has a population of just over 10,000, offering a genuine community-sized setting rather than a bustling tourist destination. The intimate scale means you’ll likely recognize familiar faces at the local shops and piazza, which can be appealing if you’re seeking a quieter retirement lifestyle.
A practical consideration for daily life is that there is no train station in town, so you’ll need reliable access to a car or be comfortable with local bus services if you plan to explore the wider region or travel further afield. This is worth factoring into your decision if you currently rely on public transport.
Regarding healthcare, be aware that an English-speaking GP has not been confirmed in Mori. This means you may need to navigate the Italian healthcare system in Italian, or invest time in finding a doctor who speaks English nearby. For retirees, having clear communication with medical professionals is important, so this is something you’ll want to research thoroughly before making a move.
Overall, Mori appeals to those seeking a genuine small-town experience in Italy, though it does require some independence and planning around transport and healthcare arrangements.
