English These days, more and more people are choosing to settle near seaside locations to work remotely, a decision that, while enviable, can quickly turn into a nightmare if you’re not in a quiet spot with a reliable internet connection.
In this article, we’ve gathered what we believe are some interesting (and less mainstream) options across various regions of Italy, from Sardinia to Le Marche.
Oristano (Sardinia)
Oristano is a small town of about 30,000 people in Sardinia, the ultimate summer destination for many Italians. Getting there is fairly easy, as it’s just under an hour from Cagliari Airport. However, forget about public transport, it’s virtually non-existent and highly unreliable. Anyone traveling in this region needs a car, both to reach their destination and to fully explore the area. But after all, the beauty of Sardinia lies exactly in its wild and untouched nature; this is one of those places where you can get lost and unexpectedly find yourself in a pristine hidden cove.
Here, the average download speed is 214 Mbps, and there’s even a coworking space available (link here) starting at €12 per hour. Plus, just a 10-minute drive away, you’ll find several beaches, including Is Arutas, considered one of the most beautiful in the area.
Mazara del Vallo (Sicily)
Among Italy’s best beach towns for remote work, Mazara del Vallo, in Sicily, certainly deserves a spot. It’s well connected, just 30 minutes from Trapani’s Birgi Airport and about an hour from Palermo’s Falcone-Borsellino Airport, which offers a wider range of flight options. However, as with much of southern Italy, having a car is essential, especially for getting around.
Even if you stay within the town itself, there’s plenty to see, particularly historical landmarks reflecting its Arab-Norman heritage. In fact, one of the highlights is the Kasbah, the old Arab quarter, a beautiful area filled with colorful buildings and murals by local artists, definitely worth exploring.
The average download speed here is 211 Mbps, and there are coworking spaces available (link here) starting from just €3 a day, with reliable Wi-Fi included. If you’re looking to unwind after work, you’ll find plenty of beaches nearby, including Tonnarella, easily one of the most beautiful in the area.
Francavilla al Mare (Abruzzo)
Francavilla al Mare is a town of about 25,000 people in Abruzzo, just south of Pescara. As mentioned in previous articles, it’s probably the best-connected area in the region, with the airport just 10 minutes away.
The average download speed here is 228 Mbps, although there don’t appear to be any coworking spaces in town. That said, there are plenty of cafés, some right on the seafront, where you can comfortably work, or alternatively, you can head to one of the coworking spaces in Pescara, which is just 15 minutes away.
If you’re still learning the language, this could be a good place to start: thanks to Pescara’s international flow, it may be easier to meet people from around the world (though it’s still a relatively small community).
The town faces the sea, so you’ll have several beach clubs and public beaches within walking distance.
Bisceglie (Puglia)
Bisceglie is a small town of just over 50,000 people in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani, in Puglia. It’s very easy to reach, just 25 minutes from Bari airport.
While the region is full of charming seaside towns like Otranto, Porto Cesareo, and Brindisi, Bisceglie stands out for its medieval character. It’s a historic village where traces of the past are still very much alive, starting with the ancient walls that surround the town.
The average download speed here is 197 Mbps, and there are coworking spaces available (link here), starting from €20 per day. There are also several interesting spots to explore nearby, such as the Grotte di Santa Croce, Salsello Beach, or La Torretta.
Senigallia (Le Marche)
Unlike some of Italy’s more famous regions, Le Marche remains relatively undiscovered internationally, but it’s well worth exploring for its mix of mountains, coastline, rolling hills, and medieval villages.
Senigallia is a mid-sized town with just over 40,000 residents. Compared to the other places we’ve mentioned, public transport here is more efficient: buses cover both urban and extra-urban routes, and trains from the local station connect you to Ancona and several inland towns, all the way to Arcevia.
The average download speed is 153 Mbps, and coworking spaces are available (link here), starting at just €6 per day. The town sits right on the coast, so you’ll have plenty of beach options within walking distance.
