Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€952/m²) and explicitly requiring renovation, estimated total cost rises to about €104,100, or €1,652/m²—far above comparable local pricing. The 1,010 m² garden, four parking spaces and proximity to the sea add appeal, but do not offset the high effective cost.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable small Sicilian villa with a warm, characterful interior, exposed timber ceilings, a fitted kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and a generous 1,010 sqm garden. It is not a finished dream home: the exterior and veranda need meaningful renovation, but the existing house gives the project a strong, usable starting point.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- The property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with a rough-looking exterior and covered porch.
- Energy class G; the photos do not establish the condition of the roof, systems, or insulation.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a three-bedroom layout.
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 48/100The cluster lies in the inland belt east of Palermo, in low hills and cultivated countryside above the valley of the Eleuterio river. Monte Grifone and the first ridges behind Palermo are nearby, but this is not a mountain landscape. The Tyrrhenian coast around the Gulf of Palermo is close, with the nearest urban services in Palermo, which has the airport, port, major rail links and the full range of city amenities. The area is known for citrus groves, olive trees and the suburban-agricultural fringe on the eastern side of the Palermo plain.
