MORE INFO
Cagliari is one of the few Mediterranean island cities that can support a practical long stay. It has a historic center, airport access, hospitals, universities, restaurants, and everyday services, while still giving quick access to Poetto Beach and Sardinia’s landscapes. The city is calmer than Rome or Naples and more livable than many seasonal resort towns. It works well for remote workers who want warm weather and sea access without giving up city basics.
