See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €49,000 plus an estimated €110,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,590/m² versus a local reference of €409/m². The 2 km distance from the sea, terrace and private courtyard add appeal, but the property is explicitly completely to renovate and the garage conversion is only subject to approval.
More on the house and the area
This is an independent Sicilian property with old masonry, arched openings, a private courtyard and a large rooftop terrace that could become attractive outdoor space. However, the interiors are dark, heavily deteriorated and not currently livable, making this a substantial renovation project rather than a ready dream home.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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- The property is explicitly totally to renovate, with severe damp, peeling plaster, debris, deteriorated doors and an outdated bathroom.
- Structural condition of the roof, terraces, staircases and cracking walls needs careful professional assessment.
- No compelling sea or mountain view is shown; the setting is a dense residential street in town.
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 on the Ionian side of eastern Sicily, on the lava terrace between Mount Etna and the sea. The Timpa di Acireale, a protected coastal escarpment and nature reserve, is within the area, with basalt cliffs and Mediterranean scrub above the shoreline. Mount Etna is the dominant mountain landscape inland, and the lower eastern slopes begin close to the town. The coast here is rocky rather than sandy, with small lava inlets at Santa Maria la Scala and the Cyclops Riviera around Aci Trezza a little to the south. The nearest ski lifts are on Etna, roughly an hour to Piano Provenzana or Rifugio Sapienza depending on road conditions. Catania is the nearest large city, with the airport, major rail links, a university and full urban services. Acireale itself is known for its Baroque centre and for the Carnival of Acireale.
