At €26,000 (€224/m²), the 116 m² house is totally to renovate; estimated works of about €127,600 bring the effective cost to roughly €1,324/m², far above the local comparison level of €408/m². The sea is only 2 km away, but that advantage does not offset the substantial renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
The house has some appealing character, including repeated arches, an independent layout, an internal courtyard and a small terrace. However, the real gallery shows a severely deteriorated, uninhabitable renovation project with damaged ceilings, floors and walls; the polished staging images are not representative of the property today.
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€46,000 – €68,000
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.
- Total renovation required, with widespread peeling plaster, damp damage, rubble and damaged floors.
- Visible ceiling and roof-related deterioration may require structural investigation.
- The staged images are aspirational and do not represent the current condition.
- No clear evidence that the kitchen, bathrooms or utilities are presently usable.
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 72/100The cluster is on the north coast of Sicily with the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Gulf of Patti immediately nearby. The Peloritani mountains rise inland within a short distance, giving a backdrop of steep ridges above the coastal strip. Tindari and its headland, with the Sanctuary and the archaeological area, are within about 15 km, and the Marinello lagoon and beach system lies below the promontory in the protected area of the Laghetti di Marinello. Milazzo, the nearest larger town, has a substantial historic centre, port connections to the Aeolian Islands, and a castle on its peninsula. This stretch of coast is known for citrus cultivation and for being a gateway toward Tindari, Milazzo and the Aeolian ferry port.
