The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 0.1km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR), about 37.2km away.
Depends on you
  • An older, settled community — median age about 53, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 5.3km.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 8 places to eat within 5km.
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.5 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.
