Casa Indipendente (Independent House)

 free-standing house not adjoining other units – essentially a detached single-family home. This term emphasizes that the dwelling does not share walls, floors, or structural elements with any neighbors (unlike an apartment or terraced house). A casa indipendente usually has its own private entrance, land or courtyard, and is an individually owned building. It can range from a small cottage to a large villa. Such properties offer privacy and autonomy (no condominium rules or fees), but the owner bears all maintenance costs alone.
