San Teodoro, in the province of Messina (Sicilia), records no residents from any of the 25 nationalities we track, in the latest ISTAT data. It has a population of 1,209.

Separately, ISTAT's census data shows 2.1% of San Teodoro's population was born outside Italy — 0.4% outside the EU and 1.7% elsewhere in the EU. ISTAT does not publish this broken down by specific country at comune level, so it isn't directly comparable to the per-nationality citizenship figures above.

Tax regimes

San Teodoro qualifies for the 7% pensioner regime. Comfortably below the 30,000-resident ceiling.

Qualifying is about the town. Whether it applies to you depends on criteria no map can check — where you were tax-resident before, and where your income comes from.

Property prices

To buy

€445 /m²

To rent

€1.50 /m²/month

Buying in San Teodoro is far below the Messina average of €941/m². Based on a single OMI micro-zone, so it describes the town as one market.

Buy or rent

24.7 years of rent here equal the purchase price, close to the national median of 22.2 years.

A ratio between two OMI prices, not a return on investment. It leaves out purchase taxes, IMU, maintenance, financing and the months a place sits empty — all of which push the real figure up. Useful for the question it does answer: whether this town looks expensive to buy relative to what renting in it costs.
