Description
Se cerchi una dimora che unisca l'indipendenza di una villa alla razionalità di ampi spazi interni, questa residenza di 150 mq è la risposta ai tuoi desideri. Situato in un contesto riservato e signorile, l'appartamento si sviluppa su due livelli, offrendo un'esperienza abitativa ariosa e ricca di personalità. Varcata la soglia, si viene accolti da un salone monumentale che dialoga con una zona living separata, ideale per creare angoli di relax o conversazione. La cucina, rigorosamente abitabile e di ampie dimensioni, è il fulcro della convivialità quotidiana. Il piano si completa con una confortevole camera da letto e un bagno finestrato, garantendo una perfetta autonomia funzionale. Salendo la comoda scala interna, il secondo piano svela il suo carattere più intimo e creativo. Uno scenografico studio open space domina l'ambiente, offrendo il luogo perfetto per lo smart working o per le proprie passioni. La zona notte prosegue con altre due camere da letto e un secondo servizio. Il vero gioiello di questo livello è il caratteristico terrazzo ad asola, un nido privato all'aperto dove godersi la lettura di un libro o un aperitivo al tramonto in totale privacy. Vivere qui significa anche riappropriarsi del contatto con la natura: il bellissimo giardino che circonda la proprietà, offre uno sfogo verde prezioso per i momenti di svago all'aria aperta. La proprietà è completata da una pratica cantina e da un'ampia disponibilità di parcheggio interno, eliminando ogni stress logistic
Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Bologna
Italy's culinary capital — home to ragu, tortellini, and mortadella — with a walkable medieval center of terracotta-colored porticoes. The oldest university in the Western world keeps it young and progressive, and it's a major rail hub (Florence in 35 min, Milan in 60). Cheaper than Rome, Milan, or Florence, with a strong sense of local identity that rewards learning Italian.
Espresso at the bar every morning, pasta made the way your grandmother wished she could, and a culture that treats every meal, every sunset, and every conversation as something worth lingering over.
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.
