At €21,037 (€185/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €43,837, or €385/m² after allowing roughly €22,800 for habitable-condition work—around 7% below comparable homes. The 500 m proximity to the sea, autonomous heating, kitchen, and 29 photos strengthen the offer.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 114 m² townhouse with a sunny tiled courtyard/terrace and a very low asking price, but the exterior is plain and visibly weathered. The gallery does not prove a beautiful interior, historic character, or a meaningful sea view, so it feels more like a practical bargain than a dream Italian home.
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€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- No interior photos are provided, so the stated habitable condition cannot be verified.
- No bathroom is listed in the facts, despite the description calling the property habitable.
- Exterior finishes show noticeable damp/wear, while the property appears directly exposed to a main road.
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 58/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast on the Gulf of Termini Imerese, with the first slopes of the Sicani and Madonie systems inland and Monte San Calogero above the town. The coast here is backed by low hills rather than cliffs or long sandy resort beaches. Cefalù and the western edge of the Madonie are within about 15 km only at the outer margin from the eastern side of the area, but the main Madonie mountain landscape lies farther away and does not define the immediate setting. Palermo is the nearest large city and provides the main rail, port and airport connections for daily life. The area is known for its port, thermal history and the archaeological site of Himera along this stretch of coast.
