This is primarily a 120 m² buildable plot with a rudere, not a documented habitable dwelling; recovery or demolition/reconstruction is subject to historic-center planning rules. At €32,000 (€267/m² before works), the apparent discount is outweighed by the substantial redevelopment uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
The dark lava-stone walls and historic masonry give the property some authentic Sicilian character. However, this is fundamentally a building plot with an uninhabitable ruin, not a usable home, and the photos show extensive structural and clearance work ahead.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€48,000 – €70,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 54/100Mount Etna rises immediately to the north-west and is the dominant landscape feature of this area. The Simeto plain lies to the south and west, with the Simeto river crossing the wider area. The cluster sits in the built-up belt on the inland side of Catania, with the city of Catania close by for a full range of services, rail links and the airport. The lower slopes of Etna with vineyards, lava terrain and towns such as Belpasso and Nicolosi begin within a short drive. The nearest ski lifts are on Etna around Piano Provenzana or Rifugio Sapienza, roughly 45-60 minutes by road depending on conditions. Etna is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the Etna Regional Park covers the mountain above the urban belt. The area is known for volcanic landscapes and agriculture linked to Etna and the plain.
