San Marino

A republic on a mountain inside Italy: an old centre above the plain, a quiet routine and Italian habits without Italian scale. Prices resemble neighbouring Emilia-Romagna, taxes are lower than in Italy, and housing costs less than in the coastal towns nearby. The climate is Mediterranean with a continental edge: hot summers, cool winters and wind at altitude. Jobs and services are few, and the airport, big shopping and specialist medicine are all in Rimini and Bologna.
