Villa con dependance, Monte Gallina (zona Fossa) - Lipari (ME) "Non tutte le case vanno vendute...Alcune vanno collocate."

Villa Azzurra è composta da due unità indipendenti: Villa principale e Casa Blu (dependance). La villa principale è composta da un ampio e luminoso soggiorno, cucina nuovissima e completamente attrezzata, 3 camere matrimoniali, 2 bagni, ampie terrazze panoramiche: il vero gioiello della villa è lo spazio esterno, pensato per vivere appieno il clima eoliano: grandi aree salotto e pranzo all'aperto con panorami che si perdono all'orizzonte. Casa Blu - Dependance: una deliziosa dependance perfetta per ospiti o per un utilizzo indipendente, composta da una camera da letto d

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.

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.
