At €359/m², the €33,000 asking price is below comparable local stock, and the historic-center location with independent access and terraces adds appeal. However, the property is explicitly to be renovated: estimated total cost brings the effective price to about €1,059/m², far above the €408/m² local benchmark.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine independent Sicilian town house with traditional interiors, old tiled floors, a characterful staircase and usable rooftop terraces. It is roofed and functioning as a home with a kitchen and bathroom, but the interiors are tired and damp-marked, so it is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, with widespread peeling plaster, damp staining and aging finishes.
- The bathroom and kitchen are very dated and may require upgrading; systems and roof/terrace condition should be checked.
- Narrow historic-center access and no private garden or meaningful view.
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 62/100Mount Etna is immediately to the east and northeast, and Adrano sits on the southwestern side of the volcano on the Simeto valley edge. The Simeto river runs through this part of inland Catania province. The Parco dell'Etna begins on the mountain above the built area. The nearest ski lifts are on Etna around Rifugio Sapienza, roughly an hour by road depending on conditions. Catania is the nearest large city, with the airport, port, university and major services. Adrano has a Norman castle and an old centre, and this side of Etna is known for lava landscapes, pistachios and other Etna foothill agriculture.
