What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €65,000 asking price is attractive at €361/m², slightly below the local comparison level of €385/m², and the property is currently rented. However, allowing roughly €36,000 for ordinary updating brings the effective cost to about €561/m², above comparable stock; the listing does not say enough about condition, construction year, or energy performance.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 58/100This is inland hill country on the Hyblaean plateau, with a mosaic of cereal fields, pasture and valleys cut into the limestone tableland. The area is associated with the upper Dirillo valley and with the rural landscapes of south-eastern Sicily rather than with a single major natural landmark. Caltagirone is the nearest town of size; it has a substantial historic centre, rail links and services, and its historic centre is on the UNESCO list within the Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto. Vizzini is known above all for its connection with Giovanni Verga and for the agricultural interior of the Hyblaean area.
