Description
Stupenda Villa fronte lago nella città di Stresa. L'immobile sorge su un lotto di circa 1200 mq ed è composto da una villa distribuita su tre livelli, con una superficie totale di 250 mq ed una depandance di circa 35 mq oltre al box doppio. Circondata da uno stupendo giardino terrazzato adorno di piante da fiore e frutta ed impianto di irrigazione automatico, il cortile è lastricato in pietra naturale, le scale per accedere alla villa sono dotate di sollevatore elettrico con carico da 120 kg. La casa principale e la depandance furono costruite nel 1968 nello stile del costruttivismo italiano e del minimalismo. La casa è dotata di una caldaia a gas e di un sistema di riscaldamento con ventilazione ad aria. L'immobile è disposto su tre piani: al piano terra troviamo i locali tecnici-caldaia, ripostiglio e locale con predisposizione per una sauna. Tutti i locali hanno i loro ingressi in conformità con le norme di sicurezza antincendio. Al primo piano si trova l'ingresso principale della casa attraverso un'ampia terrazza vista lago e l'uscita del giardino sul lato opposto della casa, cucina con sala da pranzo, soggiorno - studio con camino, una camera matrimoniale ed un locale lavanderia/spogliatoio con un accesso privato alla seconda terrazza che consente di asciugare la biancheria all'aperto, ed un bagno. Dal corridoio attraverso una scala in marmo arriviamo al secondo piano, dove troviamo due ampie camere da letto con strepitosa vista lago, bagno e piccolo ingresso con accesso

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.
