What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €340/m², the asking price is modestly below the local comparison level, but allowing about €200/m² for the unspecified condition brings the effective cost to roughly €540/m². The 191 m² independent house has three levels, terraces, and 33 photos, while the listing does not say whether it is move-in ready or needs substantial work.
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€13,000 – €21,000
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 55/100Mount Etna rises immediately to the east and north-east, and Paternò sits on the lower inland side of the volcano in the Simeto valley. The Simeto river runs through this area. The Parco dell'Etna begins on the higher slopes above the settled belt. The nearest large city is Catania, with the full range of urban services, port and airport. Paternò is known for its Norman castle on a hill above the town and for citrus and agricultural land on the volcanic plain.
