See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €225/m² upfront, the price looks low, but the villa is described as totally needing renovation: estimated all-in cost is about €530,000, or €1,325/m², far above the €372/m² local benchmark. Lake Poma views, 20,000 m² of land and 28 photos add appeal, but the stated 400 m² conflicts with the description's roughly 300 m² plus terraces, and legal/habitability details are not stated.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely impressive, with broad views over Lago Poma, rolling Sicilian hills and approximately 20,000 m² of surrounding land. The large villa has a generous terrace and an appealing traditional veranda, but the interiors are empty and heavily deteriorated, with damaged finishes and a bathroom needing complete renewal. This is a major renovation project rather than a home someone could move into, so the lake view and land are doing most of the dreaming.
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€158,000 – €234,000
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.
- The property is explicitly totally in need of renovation and is not currently habitable.
- Visible cracking, damp damage, deteriorated terraces and exposed concrete require structural and building assessment.
- No usable kitchen, finished bathroom or furnishings are shown; utilities and legal status 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.
