Advice on european places in which to live a slower and simple life?

My partner (26F) and I (27M) are currently living in Italy and feeling a growing need for change. The fast paced / output driven nature of our lives is wearing us down to the bone.

We're dreaming of a slower simpler life. One where community matters and people walk more than they drive, nature is just a few steps away, there’s time to cook from scratch, grow herbs, take care of our cats...

Our ideal place is:

Walkable and human scaled

Safe and friendly (bonus if it's queer friendly too)

Nearby nature

Easy to integrate in the community

We speak fluent English and Italian, and basic Spanish. We’re open to moving anywhere in Europe or further, as our values align.

Have any of you found your version of this kind of life? We'd love to hear your stories and recommendations ❤️

Thank you
