See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €58,000 (€644/m²), the 90 m² house needs renovation estimated at about €63,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,344/m²—far above comparable local offerings around €413/m². The 2 km distance from the sea, courtyard and terrace add appeal, but do not offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine historic-town character, with an aged stucco facade, decorative balcony supports, original doors, and a rooftop terrace overlooking the church and surrounding rooftops. However, the interiors are clearly a renovation project: floors remain, but the kitchen/bathroom area is badly deteriorated and the home is not realistically move-in ready.
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.
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.

- Substantial renovation is needed, especially the damaged kitchen/bathroom area and ceilings.
- The property appears dated and neglected, with damp or moisture-related deterioration visible in places.
- Terrace condition, utilities, roof integrity, and renovation costs should be verified.
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 on the plain at the foot of Mount Etna, with the Ionian coast nearby. The Simeto river plain lies to the south and west, and the lower Etna slopes with citrus groves and lava-built settlements begin to the north. Mount Etna and the Parco dell’Etna are the dominant landscape feature within reach. The nearest ski lifts are on Etna, roughly 45–60 minutes by road depending on the starting point and season. Catania is the nearest city of size and has a large historic centre in dark lava stone, major services, a university, port and airport. The area is known for Etna, lava landscapes and citrus cultivation on the plain and lower slopes.
