Description
In un contesto residenziale tranquillo e riservato, all'interno di un elegante residence, sorge questa maestosa villa di circa 780 mq, immersa in un giardino curato di 1.700 mq, dove eleganza, spazio e funzionalità si incontrano in perfetta armonia. Ideale per più nuclei familiari che desiderano vivere vicini ma con la propria autonomia, la villa è già suddivisa in tre unità abitative indipendenti, con utenze separate e ingressi dedicati, collegate anche da una scala interna. Ogni piano racconta uno stile di vita diverso. Piano Terra: Varcata la soglia, un salone triplo con camino accoglie in un'atmosfera calda e conviviale. La cucina a vista, moderna e funzionale, dialoga con la zona giorno creando continuità e luce. Un corridoio conduce alla zona notte con quattro camere, due bagni e due ripostigli. Completano il piano una zona tecnica con garage, lavanderia e locale tecnico. Dal salone si accede a una corte privata di circa 200 mq con porticato, area barbecue e docce esterne: perfetta per cene all'aperto e momenti di relax nel verde. Piano Primo: Un piano dallo charme sofisticato, che invita a vivere lo spazio con eleganza e comfort. L'ingresso si apre su una grande sala che conduce al salone triplo con camino, cuore luminoso della casa, seguito da una cucina abitabile e una lavanderia. La zona notte ospita tre camere matrimoniali, ognuna con carattere proprio: una adibita a studio, una suite padronale con spogliatoio e bagno privato, e una terza camera doppia. All'esterno
Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Palermo
Sicily's vibrant, chaotic capital where living costs are among the lowest in Western Europe and the street food culture rivals any city on Earth. The city has a raw, unpolished energy with stunning Arab-Norman architecture, bustling markets, and a growing digital nomad scene drawn by Italy's favorable tax regime. Italian is essential, infrastructure can be frustrating, but the warmth of the people and the quality of daily life -- especially the food -- make up for it.
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.
