Description
Nell'incanto del Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre, a 6km da Vernazza, in località Drignana, VENDO porzione di tipica casa ligure. L'appartamento è disposto su due livelli: al livello superiore ingresso, bagno finestrato con doccia, camera matrimoniale con vista mare e spazio con letto a castello a 3 posti; al livello inferiore, collegato da scala interna, soggiorno con divano letto, ampia cucina separata abitabile e secondo bagno. Completano la proprietà un pergolato ESCLUSIVO di fronte all'ingresso e una terrazza ESCLUSIVA con splendida vista mare, entrambi collegati da scale esterne. Di proprietà anche 1700mq di terreno terrazzato, non adiacente, con acqua, attualmente affittato a viticoltori. Lo lascio arredato e corredato, con riscaldamento e raffrescamento (pompa di calore). Parcheggio libero sulla strada provinciale di accesso. L'appartamento è stato interamente ristrutturato nel 2005, continuamente migliorato con amore negli anni (pompa di calore nel 2012 etc...) e re-imbiancato nel 2022. L'ho affittato con ottimi riscontri per vari anni: è perciò anche un ottimo investimento, dato che non ci sono spese condominiali né bollette del gas (è tutto elettrico), e poca manutenzione. Sempre fresco e silenzioso, consente di godere della massima pace, di stellate memorabili, e di scendere al mare (6 km) anche con il servizio navetta del Parco. Ideale punto di partenza per splendide escursioni. Non adatto a persone con difficoltà motorie, né a sempre connessi. Vedere per crede

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.
