Santa Margherita di Belice - Piazza Giacomo Matteotti | 670 mq | Terrazza 50 mq| Ristrutturato & Arredato Nel cuore di Santa Margherita di Belice, la cittadina resa immortale dal romanzo "Il Gattopardo" e dalle sue atmosfere aristocratiche, proponiamo in vendita un palazzo storico del XVIII secolo finemente restaurato, ideale come residenza privata di pregio, boutique hotel o investimento di lusso nel territorio più autentico della Sicilia. Una dimora che racconta la Sicilia del Gattopardo.

PIANO TERRA: Oltre alla corte, il piano terra ospita un appartamento di 80 mq composto da camera, cucina e bagno, uno spazio indipendente, funzionale e versatile.

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.
