What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €33,000 (€192/m²), the headline price is attractive, but the effective cost rises to roughly €749/m² after allowing €650/m² for the substantial renovation, well above the €417/m² local benchmark. The main floors appear partly usable, yet the lower level is completely unfinished, there is only one bathroom, and the listing does not state the overall condition, construction year, or energy class.
More on the house and the area
A remarkably cheap historic townhouse beneath Caccamo Castle, with sweeping Sicilian hill views, old stonework, balconies, and a leafy garden area. The main living level appears functional with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and furnished living spaces, but the property is dated and its large lower level is unfinished or heavily cluttered.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €650/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€34,000 – €60,000
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.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a very large 172 sqm home.
- Lower-level rooms are cluttered and clearly need substantial renovation.
- Interiors are dated and would need clearing, modernization, and condition checks before move-in.
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 71/100The cluster is in the northern Sicilian hills between the Tyrrhenian coast and the inland valleys, with limestone ridges and cultivated slopes around the San Leonardo river basin. Caccamo itself is dominated by a large medieval castle above the old town. Lago Rosamarina lies just below the town and is one of the main landscape features in this part of inland Palermo province. Palermo is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services, port and airport connections. The area is known for hill agriculture and for Caccamo’s historic centre and castle.
