Description
In Via Bolzano, proponiamo in vendita un raffinato appartamento di 81 mq completamente ristrutturato. La proprietà si trova al primo piano di una piccola e riservata palazzina di soli tre piani, una soluzione ideale per chi cerca un contesto abitativo tranquillo e con poche unità condominiali. L'ingresso, accogliente e funzionale, introduce a una luminosa zona giorno composta da un ampio soggiorno con sala da pranzo e cucina a vista, progettata per massimizzare la convivialità e lo spazio. La zona notte è invece definita da due spaziose camere da letto matrimoniali, entrambe ampie e confortevoli, servite da un bagno moderno e finemente rifinito. Il vero tratto distintivo dell'abitazione è la presenza delle caratteristiche volte a stella, che impreziosiscono ogni ambiente della casa a eccezione del bagno. Questo dettaglio architettonico tipico della tradizione salentina, unito alla recente ristrutturazione integrale, conferisce all'appartamento un'atmosfera unica, dove il calore della pietra storica si sposa perfettamente con le linee pulite del design contemporaneo. Questa soluzione rappresenta un'opportunità imperdibile sia per chi desidera una residenza principale pronta da abitare, sia per chi cerca un investimento sicuro e di prestigio nel mercato immobiliare leccese.

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.
