If you’re looking for a different pace of life then moving abroad can offer Brits that option.
Italy is a popular destination for expats on the hunt for a relaxing retirement – but choosing the exact location of your new life can be tricky.
YouTuber Dramatically Expatic can help as she revealed her top picks for best places to move to in the beautiful country.
Udine is included in her rundown – and Italian news outlet El Sole 24 Ore also named the city the best place to move to in Italy in 2024.
Located in northeastern Italy, the small city is in the middle of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region which is between the Adriatic Sea and the Carnic Alps and has a population of around 100,000.
Dramatically Expatic said: “If you’re not an Italian junkie like myself you may not be very familiar with this place, because it is severely underrated by tourists,” reports GB News.
“It’s surrounded by probably the most beautiful mountains that I’ve seen in my life,” said the YouTuber.
She added: “It’s a middle-sized city [that’s] very walkable, has really beautiful architecture, and it is a really good location if you’re interested in road-tripping across Europe.”
The area is famous for its wine, prosciutto ham and cheese. It’s also a great option for those who can’t decide whether to live by the ocean or mountains.
Expiter.com is a website dedicated to helping would-be expats choose where to live has detailed the best bits of living in the city – but said it was “expensive”.
It said: “Udine is the capital of the Province of Udine in the Italian Region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
“Friuli is known as a region of wines, prosciutto di San Daniele and Montasio cheese.
“Udine is an excellent location to taste these products and to start a visit to this less traveled part of Italy.”
The estimated cost of living is around £1,516.10 per month for an individual or £2,283.38 per month for a family of four.
The website added: “Overall, Udine is expensive compared to other Italian provinces.”
