San Vero Milis, farming village and Sinis beaches

The village of San Vero Milis lies on the plain north of Oristano, among fields, citrus groves and vineyards, but its territory reaches the sea on the northern Sinis peninsula. On the coast are the settlements of Putzu Idu and Su Pallosu, with beaches, low cliffs and lagoons that are home to flamingos and other waterbirds.

For buyers, these are two separate markets. In the village there are family houses with courtyards, often built in the traditional way, at low prices and with basic services; Oristano, around twenty minutes' drive away, has the hospital, secondary schools and the railway station. On the coast, second homes and summer villas dominate, busy from June to September and very quiet the rest of the year. If you plan to live by the sea all year, check services, roads and connections in winter too.

Istat, the national statistics institute, counts 2,408 residents in 2023, down 4.7% on 2011. The average age is 50.3, close to the 49.8 of the province of Oristano, over-65s make up 29.9% and foreign residents 1.4%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Sardinia is Italy's quietest region for earthquakes: San Vero Milis is in seismic zone 4, like 86 other municipalities in the province, with an expected acceleration of 0.050 g. Near the sea, salt air, damp and the upkeep of windows and balcony metalwork matter more.

Between lagoons, low coast and plain, the report checks the official flood maps at the address and identifies the land parcel with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps.

Overview

San Vero Milis is a municipality in the province of Oristano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 2,408 residents, ranked 15 of 87 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, San Vero Milis is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 87 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.050 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
