Description
Portovenere : appartamento con corte esterna A Portovenere, in una delle località più suggestive e ricercate della Riviera Ligure, proponiamo in vendita un appartamento luminoso e dalle grandi potenzialità, situato al primo piano di una piccola palazzina completamente riqualificata. L'immobile si sviluppa in quattro ampi locali, con la possibilità di ricavare una terza camera da letto, ideale per chi necessita di spazi più ampi o desidera una distribuzione interna più funzionale. La proprietà si distingue per un balcone con splendida vista mare e una corte privata di 20 mq , anch'essa affacciata sul mare: due spazi rari e preziosi, perfetti per pranzare all'aperto o rilassarsi . Le rifiniture interne risalgono agli anni '90, mantenute in buone condizioni e particolarmente interessanti per chi desidera personalizzare l'abitazione secondo il proprio stile. La palazzina, composta da pochi appartamenti, garantisce tranquillità e privacy. La posizione dell'immobile è uno dei suoi punti di forza: si trova a meno di 1 km dal mare, in un'area comoda ai servizi e facilmente raggiungibile. Vivere qui significa poter usufruire ogni giorno della bellezza naturale di Portovenere, del suo borgo storico, delle spiagge, delle acque cristalline, del porto turistico e dell'accesso alla splendida isola Palmaria. Questa soluzione è perfetta per una famiglia che desidera vivere stabilmente in un contesto unico, immerso nella natura e a due passi dal mare, ma anche per chi cerca una seconda casa ,

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.
