The €79,000 asking price is €362/m², modestly below the local €414/m² reference, but renovating 218 m² at about €700/m² brings the effective cost to roughly €1,062/m². The sea location, garage and terrace add appeal, yet the renovation burden makes this weak value unless the three buildings are not all intended for full residential renovation.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, genuinely livable Sicilian townhouse with furnished rooms, multiple bathrooms, a very large tiled terrace, and a broad sea-and-palm view over cultivated land. It is not a polished dream home: the façades, rooftop areas, roof tiles, bathrooms, and interiors are visibly dated and will need renovation, but the scale, outdoor space, and coastal setting create strong owner-occupier appeal.
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€43,000 – €76,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The main house is usable and furnished, but interiors are dated and the property clearly needs renovation.
- Exterior walls, parapets, and some roof areas show weathering and may need maintenance.
- The listing includes three buildings/accessories, so legal status, utilities, and the exact condition of each structure should be verified.
- The sea view is attractive but appears partly distant and surrounded by agricultural/residential development.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Marsala, so the resident setting is an urban edge on the low coastal plain of western Sicily. The Stagnone lagoon and the Isola di Mozia area lie just north of the town, with shallow saltwater basins and historic salt pans along this stretch of coast. Trapani is the nearest larger centre for wider services and airport access comes from Trapani-Birgi nearby and Palermo farther away. The area is known for salt production and Marsala wine.
