Italy’s best-kept secret
The beauty of central Italy, the warmth of small towns and homes at prices that still make sense.
Sea and mountains
About 130 km of Adriatic coast and the highest peaks of the Apennines, often less than an hour apart.
Green Abruzzo
Three national parks and a regional park: around a third of the region is protected nature.
Easy to reach
Pescara airport with flights to many European cities, and Rome’s international airport about two to two and a half hours away by car.
Fair prices
Homes and everyday life cost far less than in Tuscany, Rome or the northern lakes, for the same beauty.
The coast
Long sandy beaches in the north, coves and the historic fishing platforms of the Costa dei Trabocchi in the south. Lively towns with everything you need all year round.

Hills and historic towns
Vineyards, olive groves and hilltop towns with views of both the sea and the mountains. Often the best balance between price, services and quality of life.

Mountains and villages
Medieval villages, national parks, lakes and ski slopes. Stone houses full of character, fresh summers and real silence.

A possible 7% flat tax on foreign income
Italy offers foreign pensioners who move their tax residence to a small town (under 20,000 inhabitants) in some southern regions, Abruzzo included, the option of a 7% flat tax on their foreign income for several years.
Eligibility depends on your personal situation and on rules that can change. We check it with our tax advisor before you choose the town, so you can decide on solid ground.
