What is it really like to retire in Italy — and can you actually afford it?
In this video, we explore living and retiring in Abruzzo, Italy, one of the most underrated and affordable regions in the country. Through real, day-by-day storytelling, we show what life in Abruzzo actually feels like — from small hill towns and stone houses to Adriatic beaches, mountain villages, and everyday Italian routines.
You’ll learn the real cost of living in Abruzzo, how much homes and apartments cost, what healthcare in Italy is like for retirees, and how life changes after 30 days, 6 months, and one year. If you’re thinking about retiring in Italy, moving to Italy, or finding an affordable place to retire in Europe, this video shows why Abruzzo quietly stands out.
Watch until the end and tell us in the comments whether you can imagine living in the Abruzzo in Italy.
