🔎 EXCERPT 🔎
So today, in less than 12 minutes, you will discover the best places to retire in southern Italy, the pros and cons of each place, and grasp an idea of the cost of living!
Southern Italy is composed of 8 regions and we start with the most northernmost of them, and also the smallest: Molise.
We will talk quickly about Molise because it is a tiny region, with less than 300 thousand residents.
70 years ago, the Molise province had over 400 thousand inhabitants.
But many people left for larger cities like Rome or Milan, and now the entire province has plenty of empty houses and cheap real estate available.
And this is probably one of the best pros in this region.
The best place in Molise for expat retirees is likely the town of Termoli. It is a beautiful beach area, loved by families due to its calmness and weather.
While the weather in the region can be quite hot, Molise is in a region where gentle breezes often make the summer much more enjoyable.
Despite being a quite touristy city, you can buy a 3-bedroom apartment with a balcony and a sea view in Termoli for less than 90 thousand euros!
Since not many people there don't speak foreign languages, Termoli is one of these places that we recommend only if you have a grasp of the Italian language.
Another potential issue is that it is a small town, and to find facilities like international airports or larger hospitals, you need to travel to other cities like Pescara or Campobasso
The next region we will talk about is way larger: Campania.
Campania's capital is one of the largest cities in Italy, Naples.
But if you think about living and retiring in Southern Italy, Naples is not a good idea. It is too big and chaotic.
Instead, two good options in Campania are Avellino, if you prefer the countryside
, or Salerno, if you would rather live close to the sea.

My ex and I loved Tropea and Pizzo. We almost bought a sea view villa in Zambrone. It had a small yard overlooking the Terrenean Sea and beach. The coastline of Capo Vaticano is gorgeous.

Just came back today from Puglia. Visited Touristic regions mostly. So prices were not that low.

However since it is an agricultural society, it has outstanding products and food. I rank Puglia as the second best region in Italy after Tuscany, my favorite.
Also I dont understand people's exitement about Spain. I find Spaniards distant, their cuisine oily, and their country overrated. Italy on the other hand, with its culture, music, food, people, architecture, sceneries is stunning. If I ever retire somewhere outside of home, it will be in Italy.

I would also recommend checking out Crotone in Calabria. An important Greek settlement it still has some Ancient Greek temples and great house prices. Grazie da Texas come sempre ❤

[hassanboutabssil]

[olgasampis]

I was just un Italy, calabria, basilicata and puglia!!, ❤️❤️❤️

[andrewst]

O good video with good comparisons between cities. Maybe one sugestion: apart from the cost of an apartment, to indicate the cost of utilities for all these places.

[marktindal]

This is a superb guide thank you. Now I need to find out how I can retire there with a visa

[live--now]

all the coast south of salerno..in campania, Is even better...

[KaterinaFerrara]

My favourite area in Sicily is Val di Noto with cities like Ragusa and Noto

[Nome_utente_generico]

try Crotone in Calabria: historic town by the sea, sunny, family friendly, quiet and safe and super cheap. 15 minutes from the airport. When i retire i would go there fot sure

Mt Etna is not to far from Catania. Also, Sigonella is a US naval air base chances are you might run into someone that is in the US Military. I spent 3 years living outside of Catania when my mother was station there.

[brucebenson]

You know how to find very relevant information from what seem to be very credible sources. What a good job. I disagree about the desirability of Catania. From time spent there on a couple of visits the city was too gritty and industrialized with not enough interesting, attractive public squares in the city center. But it's definitely a very good choice as a place to arrive and depart from when exploring Sicily.

You dont know the market in Salerno, if you say that houses by the sea are so cheap. Word of an Italian living in that area.if you want an apartment close to the sea in Salerno atleat 400, 000 euros.

[RoseBornagain]

Puglia is getting too expensive, mainly Ostuni area.But the countryside is stunning.
