For many, it’s the dream of a lifetime: moving to Sardinia, perhaps into a home with sea views or close to the coast, and living surrounded by nature, peace, and the island’s authentic beauty.
But is it really possible to live in Sardinia all year round? Or is it just a summer postcard illusion?

The short answer is: yes, it is possible. And more than that — it is becoming an increasingly concrete choice for those seeking a better quality of life, more balanced rhythms, and a deeper connection with themselves and with nature.

In this article, we’ll explain why living in Sardinia twelve months a year is not just a dream, but a real opportunity.


1. A Quality of Life That Truly Surprises

Sardinia offers a simple yet deeply fulfilling lifestyle, built around small things that seem to have been lost elsewhere: clean air, genuine local food, friendly people, and a slower pace of life.

Especially in areas like Ogliastra, which is part of the famous Blue Zones — regions with some of the highest life expectancy in the world — you can feel an authentic and regenerative atmosphere. Here, time follows a different rhythm, and life is truly enjoyed, day after day.


2. Essential Services — and Constantly Improving

Sardinia is well connected and equipped with all essential services.

  • High-speed internet, ideal for remote and smart working
  • Healthcare, with good medical facilities in major towns and local doctors in smaller villages
  • Schools and education, even in small communities, with smaller class sizes and a more personal approach
  • Transportation, with daily ferry and flight connections to mainland Italy and Europe, as well as reliable internal links

In addition, the local culture of hospitality and community support makes everyday life easier for those who relocate from abroad.


3. A Climate You’ll Love (All Year Round)

One of the main reasons people choose Sardinia as a permanent residence is its mild, sunny climate.

  • Short, gentle winters, with coastal temperatures rarely falling below 10°C (50°F)
  • Warm but breezy summers, thanks to refreshing sea winds
  • Long springs and autumns, perfect for outdoor activities, hiking, and relaxation

This means you can still enjoy the sea in October, have lunch outdoors in winter, and experience every season with ease and comfort.


4. Lower — and More Human — Living Costs

With the same quality of life, living costs in Sardinia are generally lower than in many other Italian coastal areas, European capitals, and the United States.

  • Property prices, still accessible compared to other seaside destinations
  • Daily expenses, such as utilities, food, and services, are usually lower than in Northern Europe and the US
  • A greener lifestyle, with local markets, farm-to-table food, and self-sufficiency opportunities

With Edil Costa Sarda, you can purchase a turnkey home with full support — even if you live abroad. No stress, no complications, just the reassurance of a local team that knows the area and guides you every step of the way.


5. Time to Choose a More Authentic Life

More and more people are rediscovering the value of what truly matters: silence, nature, time for themselves and their loved ones.

Sardinia offers exactly this — a life that is more genuine, deeper, and freer.

Living here all year round is not just a romantic idea. It is a conscious, practical, and sustainable choice for those who want to live in a place that nourishes both body and soul.
