What Statte is actually like
Statte, nestled in Puglia's vibrant landscape, presents a unique blend of culture and tradition suitable for expats and retirees. Located conveniently near Taranto, this town offers easy access to historical sites and natural beauty, with pristine beaches just a short drive away. Statte boasts a rich cultural life characterized by community ceremonies, local cuisine, and a laid-back atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a slower pace of living. While its small-town charm and local industries, such as agriculture and wine production, appeal to many, expats may find the healthcare sector lacking when compared to larger cities. The communal lifestyle can also be refreshing, offering opportunities to engage with friendly locals in social settings such as cafés. For expats looking for a tranquil setting with a strong sense of community, Statte offers an attractive, albeit simpler, lifestyle in the heart of Puglia.
How Statte is built
Post-war expanded comune
Building age, condition and occupancy from the ISTAT census (2011), by census section. Occupancy is shown as one honest split — the 2011 census does not reliably separate holiday homes from vacant ones.
