È un’isola ben collegata d’estate e molto meno d’inverno, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. Il servizio sanitario pubblico (5/5) è più solido del privato: qui l’assicurazione è un extra, non una necessità. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio.
