Rif: 30721699-4661 Classe energetica: G Vendesi Appartamento con Garage... Tra cielo e terra, dove lo sguardo abbraccia lEtna e il mare San Nicolò, Via Giuseppe Leonardi 13 In un angolo riservato e silenzioso di San Nicolò, allinterno del raffinato residence La Quercia, sorge unabitazione su due livelli, posto al 3° e 4° piano di una palazzina circondata dal verde, che sembra sospeso tra il cielo e la terra. Un rifugio accogliente, dove ogni dettaglio racconta una storia Varcando la soglia, si viene accolti da un soggiorno luminoso e avvolgente, uno spazio che invita al relax e alla condivisione. Una scala a chiocciola elegante conduce al piano superiore, dove la magia prende forma sotto i tetti in legno: caldi, romantici, carichi di atmosfera. Dalla zona giorno, un disimpegno discreto apre la strada al cuore della casa: Due camere da letto, intime e silenziose Un bagno ampio, inondato di luce naturale Una lavanderia comoda E una cucina generosa, il vero focolare domestico, dove i profumi e i ricordi prendono vita Ovunque, balconi che circondano la casa come un abbraccio, fino a un piccolo ma prezioso terrazzino, da cui il panorama incanta: da una parte, lEtna maestosa; dallaltra, il mare infinito, che si perde allorizzonte. Una mansarda che sa di sogno Salendo, ci si ritrova in una camera mansardata dove il cielo entra dalla finestra sul tetto e la luce accarezza ogni cosa. Accanto, un bagno intimo con box doccia, perfetto per momenti di relax. Completa il piano una mansarda

Visa
Digital Nomad Visa — requires remote work for foreign clients/employers, min €28,000/yr net income, and 6 months work experience. Valid 1 year, renewable. Elective Residence Visa — for retirees and those with passive income (€31,000/yr minimum, no work allowed). Both offer a path to long-term residency.

Italy launched its digital nomad visa in 2024, making it much easier for remote workers than the old elective residence route. Italian bureaucracy is notoriously slow (3-6 months processing), so patience and a good immigration lawyer are essential.

Next steps for moving to Italy
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
