Nepi

This small town in the Lazio region has a population of around 8,890, making it a genuinely quiet place to settle. It offers the kind of peaceful environment many retirees seek, without the crowds or tourist infrastructure of larger Italian towns.

A practical consideration worth noting: there is no train station in Nepi, so you’ll need reliable access to a car if you plan to travel beyond the immediate area. This is an important factor to weigh, particularly if you prefer not to drive long distances or rely on public transport for connections to larger cities.

Healthcare information remains limited. While medical care is available locally, we cannot confirm whether English-speaking GPs are based in the town. This is something you’ll want to research further and arrange before moving, as language barriers in medical settings can be significant. It’s worth contacting local health services directly to understand what English-language support exists.

The town’s small size means a slower pace of life and strong community character—aspects that appeal to many expats. However, that same quietness means fewer amenities and services than you’d find in larger centres. Nepi suits those comfortable with a genuinely rural lifestyle and willing to travel for specialist services or diverse shopping and dining options.
