Description
BRA: in Strada Biola, in contesto tranquillo ed riservato, a pochi minuti di macchina dal centro ed in posizione comoda all'imbocco della tangenziale, villa singola di 240 mq, costruita negli anni '80 e rinnovata negli anni 2000. La parte abitativa si sviluppa interamente al piano primo, raggiungibile tramite scala interna. Il soggiorno, ampio e luminoso, è il cuore della casa: il camino crea un'atmosfera intima e accogliente. La cucina abitabile, spaziosa e conviviale, si apre su uno splendido terrazzo condiviso con il soggiorno, perfetto per pranzi e cene nelle belle stagioni. La zona notte, ben separata, presenta tre camere da letto di ampia metratura; una di esse si affaccia su un ulteriore terrazzo, ideale per ritagliarsi un angolo personale di tranquillità. I due bagni, uno con vasca ed uno con doccia, completano il piano. Scendendo al piano terra, la casa continua a sorprendere: una grande tavernetta con camino invita a momenti conviviali con amici e famiglia, accompagnata da un bagno di servizio, da una cantina e da un ampio box auto, doppio in lunghezza. All'esterno, un cortile privato circonda tutti i lati della casa: in parte pavimentato, in parte verde, è lo spazio perfetto per vivere all'aperto, far giocare i bambini o semplicemente godersi momenti di relax. Questa villa indipendente rappresenta il luogo ideale per famiglie che desiderano vivere lontano dal caos, senza rinunciare alla vicinanza ai servizi.

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.
