7Cagliari or Oristano, Sardinia

While it’s true that you’ll be more isolated on an island than on the mainland, Sardinia’s natural beauty and quiet pace of life more than make up for it. Pristine beaches and the clear water of the Mediterranean Sea surround the area.  

The climate on Sardinia is ideal for retirees, as it is mild and warm all year round. The island also gets very little rain (the least in all of Italy), so there’s no unpredictability to your slow-paced island days.
