What Squinzano is actually like
Squinzano, located in the Puglia region of Italy, serves as an appealing destination for expats and retirees seeking a blend of culture and accessibility. This charming town is situated only a short drive from the Adriatic coast and is known for its rich olive oil production, reflecting the agricultural heritage of the area. Squinzano boasts a welcoming community, offering newcomers ample opportunities to engage with locals and participate in vibrant cultural traditions, including seasonal festivals and local culinary events. The town's affordable living, modest healthcare amenities, and pleasant Mediterranean climate underpin its attractiveness. However, some may find the healthcare quality less robust than in larger cities. While the nearest beach is approximately 15 kilometers away, residents enjoy excellent air quality and favorable taxation for retirees, making Squinzano a viable option for those considering life in Italy. Internet connectivity is also commendable, adding to its allure for remote workers.

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.
