7% Tax Towns in Campania

Campania has the longest eligible list in the regime: 508 of its 550 comuni qualify, and the April 2026 cap increase added 25 of them, more than any other region. It is also the region where "eligible" covers the widest range of realities. Positano and a dense commuter town outside Naples both qualify under the same rule, so nowhere is it more important to visit before you decide.

The famous names hold up. On the Amalfi Coast, Positano (about 3,700) and Ravello (about 2,300) are both eligible, as is the island of Procida (about 10,000), a ferry ride from Naples. The 2026 additions brought in several places retirees had been waiting on: Vico Equense (about 20,200), on the Sorrento peninsula with Circumvesuviana trains into Naples; Agropoli (about 21,300), the gateway town of the Cilento coast; Capaccio Paestum (about 22,400), home of the Greek temples; Bacoli (about 25,000) among the volcanic bays of the Campi Flegrei; and Pompei (about 23,600) itself.

South of Salerno is where Campania makes its strongest retirement case. The Cilento (Agropoli, Capaccio Paestum, and dozens of smaller eligible towns behind the coast) is a national park with long beaches, low prices, a slower calendar than the Amalfi Coast, and a growing international community. Inland, the hill provinces of Benevento and Avellino qualify almost wholesale, including Ariano Irpino (about 20,700), added in 2026.

Access is the region's strength. Naples Capodichino has one of southern Italy's widest international networks, and Salerno's Costa d'Amalfi airport resumed scheduled flights in 2024, putting the Cilento within easier reach. High-speed trains reach Rome from Naples in about 70 minutes, with direct services from Salerno as well, and ferries run to Procida from Naples and Pozzuoli. The major hospitals are in Naples and Salerno. Start with the interactive map to separate the coast, the islands, and the interior: they are three different propositions.
