Description

In uno dei contesti più riservati e ricercati della zona Leucatia, all'interno di Via del Castello, si propone in vendita un esclusivo appartamento in villa, recentemente oggetto di un'accurata e totale ristrutturazione. La proprietà, che si estende su una superficie di circa 155 mq, si distingue per l'eleganza degli ambienti, la luminosità naturale e una distribuzione degli spazi pensata per garantire comfort e armonia abitativa. L'ingresso si apre su una scenografica zona living, ampia e accogliente, perfetta per momenti di rappresentanza e relax, affiancata da una cucina abitabile con accesso diretto alla terrazza, ideale per vivere appieno gli spazi esterni. La zona notte offre due camere da letto servite da un raffinato terrazzino privato, oltre a un bagno e una comoda lavanderia. La suite padronale rappresenta un autentico spazio di pregio, impreziosita da una cabina armadio passante e da un bagno en suite, concepiti per offrire il massimo della privacy e del benessere. L'immobile è immediatamente abitabile; gli interventi attualmente in corso riguardano esclusivamente il completamento delle aree esterne, preservando l'integrità e la qualità degli interni già ultimati. A valorizzare ulteriormente la proprietà, un ampio giardino di circa 800 mq, attualmente indiviso con l'unità adiacente, che conferisce un'atmosfera di assoluta tranquillità e rappresenta una rara opportunità per chi desidera vivere immerso nel verde senza rinunciare alla vicinanza ai servizi.

Living in Catania

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.

Key Fact

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.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

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.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
