Mugnano di Napoli

Located in the Naples metropolitan area, this town of approximately 34,800 residents offers the proximity and connectivity of urban southern Italy without being in the city centre itself. For retirees considering the region, the lack of a train station means you’ll need to rely on other transport options, which is worth factoring into your plans if you value convenient rail travel for getting around the region or further afield.

An important practical consideration: medical care in English is not confirmed to be readily available here. For many expats, having access to an English-speaking GP is a significant factor in choosing where to retire, so this is something you’d want to investigate thoroughly before committing to a move. You’d likely want to understand what healthcare arrangements exist and whether you’d need to travel elsewhere for consultations in English.

The town’s size makes it substantial enough to have local services and a genuine community feel, rather than being a small village. Its location near Naples means you’re within reach of a major city’s cultural offerings and amenities, while potentially enjoying a quieter residential environment. Before moving, it would be worth visiting to assess the practical realities of daily life here, particularly regarding transport and healthcare access.
