Description

Nel cuore autentico del centro storico, in Vico San Giusto 5, sorge una struttura ricettiva di rara bellezza, un immobile capace di unire fascino architettonico, comfort moderno e straordinaria versatilità d'uso. Una proprietà che racconta il carattere più raffinato della città e che rappresenta un'opportunità unica sia per chi desidera investire sia per chi sogna un punto d'appoggio esclusivo in una delle zone più suggestive. L'edificio, già avviato come attività ricettiva, incanta per l'eleganza degli spazi e per l'atmosfera luminosa e accogliente che sorprende fin dal primo ingresso. Nonostante la posizione al piano terra, la luce naturale avvolge gli ambienti esaltando ogni dettaglio architettonico e valorizzando la straordinaria presenza delle tipiche volte a stella salentine, autentiche opere d'arte in pietra che donano prestigio e identità agli interni. La proprietà è impreziosita da un doppio ingresso indipendente che condivide unicamente il cortile interno, una caratteristica preziosa che consente di suddividere l'immobile in due unità abitative distinte. Una soluzione ideale per chi desidera riservare una parte della casa ad uso personale durante i soggiorni in città e destinare l'altra all'ospitalità, oppure per chi preferisce gestire due strutture separate massimizzando la redditività. Ogni ambiente riflette una ristrutturazione completa e accurata eseguita sette anni fa, realizzata con interventi strutturali approfonditi che hanno interessato anche il sotto pavim

Living in Lecce

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.
