A 2 hour 175km drive to Cagliari for everything “big-city”… good luck. Not to mention Sardinian Italian is different enough that learning cosmopolitan Italian isn’t enough to communicate with your neighbors and laborers (because you’ll need to hire people for repairs if you’re not already skilled in construction)

If you're especially unlucky, the neighbors speak Sardinian altogether(you have to learn a full-blown separate language and ~~who knows what variety/dialect~~ oh it's Ollolai so barbaricino) and are super salty about military NATO bases(imagine how happy will they be with an American next door)
