Labitazione si sviluppa interamente al piano terra e si estende per una superficie di circa 240 mq. Laccesso avviene tramite un cortile antistante, elemento tipico delle case di un tempo, che introduce a un elegante salone impreziosito da colorate marmette depoca e tipiche volte a stella, elementi architettonici che conferiscono fascino e autenticità a tutti gli ambienti della casa. A seguire troviamo una sala da pranzo e un accogliente tinello, dotato di antica cucina a legna, che richiama il calore e la tradizione delle dimore salentine. La zona giorno dialoga direttamente con l'esterno, affacciandosi sul rigoglioso giardino retrostante di circa 930 mq, un vero angolo di tranquillità arricchito da piante ornamentali e alberi da frutto, ideale per momenti di relax o per vivere gli spazi esterni in totale privacy. La zona notte comprende due spaziose camere da letto. Allinterno del giardino sono presenti due ulteriori vani adiacenti allabitazione, attualmente accatastati come deposito, che offrono interessanti possibilità di recupero e trasformazione in ambienti residenziali, consentendo un significativo ampliamento degli spazi abitativi.

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.
