At €60,000 plus an estimated €1,100/m² restoration, the effective cost is about €1,455/m²—nearly four times the local €394/m² reference. The listing describes only a potential reuse project, with no bathrooms, no stated condition or legal residential status, and vague details.
More on the house and the area
The lava-stone and brick-arched façade has genuine Sicilian character, while the old barrels and courtyard vegetation hint at a distinctive former farmhouse or workshop. However, this is currently a derelict shell rather than a usable home: interiors are filled with debris, the ceilings appear badly deteriorated, and no bathroom or kitchen is present.
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€65,000 – €97,000
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.
- Uninhabitable rustico requiring major renovation, clearing and likely structural work.
- No bathroom, kitchen or usable living spaces are shown; interiors contain rubble, severe deterioration and overgrowth.
- Roof and ceiling condition, utilities, permits and redevelopment costs need careful verification.
- Central urban setting has limited privacy and cars crowd the frontage.
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 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.
