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 easy reach — Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB), about 39.1km away.
  • An established international community — 56 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 5.7km 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.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 1 places to eat within 5km.

Counts show what’s mapped in OpenStreetMap within each ring. Where little is close, the nearest few are listed with an estimated drive time (a guide, not a measured route; typically ~1.5× the straight-line distance at rural speeds). Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
