Scores are 0–10, computed only from factors we have data for; coverage shows how complete that is. A low score means a poor fit for that group’s needs, not a bad town. Tap an audience to see what drove its score.

The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB), about 59.7km away.
  • An established international community — 50 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 12.5km to the nearest beach.
Working against it
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.

Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
