Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The house appears habitable and well maintained, with a garden, terrace, independent utilities and 23 photos, but its €786/m² asking price rises to roughly €986/m² after allowing €14,000 for light updates. That is substantially above the local comparable benchmark of €408/m²; the 8 km distance from the sea adds some appeal but does not justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
A solid, usable country house with tiled interiors, a functioning kitchen and bathroom, plus a generous covered porch. Its strongest appeal is the private garden filled with mature olive and fruit trees, although the setting is currently somewhat overgrown and the home feels basic rather than especially characterful.
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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Interiors are functional but dated and sparsely equipped, with cosmetic updating likely needed.
- The garden is mature and attractive but visibly overgrown and will require clearing and ongoing maintenance.
- No notable sea, mountain, or valley view is shown in the gallery.
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 56/100The cluster lies in the low hills west of Palermo, in a landscape of ridges, cultivated slopes and scattered settlements between the Gulf of Castellammare side and the Conca d’Oro side of the province. Monte d’Oro rises above Montelepre and Partinico, and the higher limestone relief of the Monti di Palermo is nearby. The coast is not far, with the Gulf of Castellammare around Terrasini and Trappeto as the nearest sea frontage, but the cluster is inland rather than on the shore. Palermo is the nearest large city, with the full services of a regional capital and the airport at Punta Raisi on this side of the province. The area is known for vineyards, olives and citrus in the wider western Palermitan countryside.
