PORTO SANTO STEFANO - Località Spadino - un rifugio nel verde con tramonti sul mare. A soli 3,3 km (circa 9 minuti in auto) dal porto di Porto Santo Stefano, ma immerso in una dimensione incantevole, fatta di silenzio, luce e natura, proponiamo un villino indipendente con giardino privato e vista aperta sul mare e sulla vallata. Esposto ad ovest, la sera gode di spettacolari tramonti sul mare, dietro all'isola d'Elba. Qui la sensazione è quella di essere lontani da tutto, pur restando vicinissimi al centro. La proprietà è facilmente raggiungibile in auto e dispone di parcheggio interno con spazio per più vetture. Una breve rampa di circa 10 gradini conduce alla vera protagonista della casa: una grande terrazza panoramica di 64 mq, uno spazio sospeso tra cielo e mare, perfetto per cene estive, colazioni al sole e tramonti che si perdono all'orizzonte. Dalla terrazza si entra nell'abitazione, raccolta e luminosa: * soggiorno con zona cottura, illuminato da tre finestre; * tre camere da letto, di cui due con porta-finestra che conducono all'esterno; * bagno recentemente rinnovato. Al piano sottostante si trova un ampio vano cantina di 32 mq, finestrato e allo stato grezzo. È già stata ottenuta Concessione Edilizia per: * aumentare l'altezza interna della cantina fino a 2,40 mt; * ampliare i volumi totali del 20%; * realizzare un secondo bagno. Un'opportunità concreta per trasformare questa casa in qualcosa di ancora più personale: una dependance, uno studio, una zona ospiti. La

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.
