In una delle località più incantevoli della Sicilia, vi presentiamo in vendita un'affascinante villa singola situata a soli 80 metri dal mare di Marina di Modica. Questa proprietà si estende su circa 167 mq e offre un giardino privato perfetto per momenti di relax all'aria aperta.

La cucina abitabile è progettata per soddisfare ogni esigenza dei vostri pasti familiari o serate con amici. Completa il piano un elegante bagno dotato di tutti i comfort. Salendo al primo piano, la casa ospita tre accoglienti camere da letto arredate con gusto; tra queste troviamo una camera matrimoniale dotata di terrazzino panoramico affacciato sul mare dove poter godere del dolce profumo del salmastro e degli splendidi tramonti siciliani. Due ulteriori camere singole offrono spazio sufficiente per tutta la famiglia o possono essere trasformate in studi personali oppure stanze degli ospiti; anche qui è presente un funzionale secondo bagno. Situata in posizione centrale ma comunque riservata, questa villa gode della tranquillità grazie ai caratteristici giardini che separano l'immobile dalla vivace passeggiata lungomare ricca di ristoranti tipici e gelaterie artigianali.

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.

CHARME OF SICILY
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.
