Description
Rif:161666 - 09/04/2026 (128126172) - Immagina di aprire la porta di una residenza che non offre soltanto riparo, ma racconta una storia. In Via San Vito, una delle strade più suggestive e animate di Matera, ogni pietra sussurra secoli di vita, mentre il ritmo quotidiano continua appena oltre la soglia. Qui la storia non si ammira soltanto: si vive. Questa proprietà esclusiva si svela in due unità indipendenti, ciascuna con il proprio carattere e fascino: Al piano superiore un appartamento raffinato, dove tradizione e comfort convivono armoniosamente. La luce filtra dalle finestre con infissi in legno, illuminando ambienti accoglienti: il rifugio ideale dopo una giornata trascorsa tra le meraviglie della città. Al piano terra, con accesso diretto da una pittoresca piazzetta, si apre un raro ambiente ipogeo. La sua atmosfera unica, scavata nella pietra, racchiude l'essenza senza tempo di Matera. Cucina, bagno e camera lo trasformano in un rifugio intimo e autentico. Insieme, queste unità compongono una residenza di circa 152 metri quadrati, restaurata con cura per preservarne l'anima storica e al tempo stesso garantire una piena vivibilità moderna. Ogni dettaglio parla di autenticità, dall'uso dei materiali al gioco di luce e pietra. Attualmente gestita come casa vacanza di successo con ottime recensioni, la proprietà non offre soltanto un'opportunità di reddito immediato, ma soprattutto il privilegio inestimabile di possedere un frammento di storia in uno dei siti UNESCO più

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.

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.
