Located between the Apennines and the Adriatic, Molise features stone hill towns that watch over olive groves and a quiet coastline. Life ambles along in Campobasso and the fishing docks of Termoli, with truffles, bean stews and moreish local wines. Living in Molise means breezy beaches, mountain air and proper small‑town rituals.
Living in Molise suits anyone after a quieter, good‑value base with real Italian daily life. Housing is generally affordable, communities are tight‑knit, and the food scene leans local and seasonal. Trade‑offs include a smaller job market, patchy public transport away from main routes, Italian as the day‑to‑day language, and colder, sometimes snowy winters inland.
