Description

Nella zona del Lungomare di Catania, proponiamo in vendita una villa d'epoca situata nella cornice più prestigiosa della costa catanese, dove il nero della pietra lavica incontra l'azzurro profondo del mare. Questa proprietà non è solo una residenza, ma un palcoscenico privato sul Mediterraneo. La villa si distingue per la sua unicità nel pieno centro della città, articolandosi su più livelli; inoltre la metratura interna generosa permette una redistribuzione degli spazi senza sacrificare il prestigio. E' contornata da ampi spazi esterni e da un maestoso terrazzo dal quale si può godere di una meravigliosa vista sul mare. Il vero elemento di rarità è l'accesso diretto ed esclusivo sulla scogliera lavica. Un accesso privato conduce direttamente al mare, permettendo di godere della costa in totale riservatezza. L'immobile è interamente da ristrutturare. Questo permette una totale personalizzazione degli interni, integrando le più moderne tecnologie di domotica e sostenibilità energetica senza intaccare il fascino architettonico originale. La presenza di ingressi indipendenti e la distribuzione dei volumi permettono di dividere la struttura in due unità abitative autonome, ampie e speculari (o disposte su piani diversi), garantendo totale privacy e indipendenza per due nuclei familiari. Grazie alla sua metratura imponente e alla posizione irripetibile, la proprietà si presta magistralmente alla riconversione in struttura ricettiva di lusso (Boutique Hotel o Guest House di charme

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.
