At €40,152 (€204/m²), this habitable 197 m² apartment remains attractively priced even after allowing about €39,400 for routine improvements, giving an effective cost of roughly €404/m² versus €484/m² for comparable homes. Its 800 m proximity to the sea, heating, balcony, and terrace strengthen the deal, while 28 photos support the description.
More on the house and the area
A very large, conventional Sicilian apartment with extensive balconies and a pleasant mountain-area outlook, close to the sea. The interiors appear solid and usable rather than derelict, but they are dated and lack the distinctive historic character or polished finish of a true dream 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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Auction purchase with legal/occupancy and documentation checks required.
- The listing explicitly warns that published photos may not correspond to the specific property.
- Interiors appear habitable but dated, and the exterior shows some age and maintenance needs.
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 68/100The cluster sits on the north-east Sicilian coast on the Gulf of Milazzo, with the Tyrrhenian Sea immediately nearby. The Peloritani mountains rise a short distance inland behind this stretch of coast. Milazzo is the nearest substantial town; it has a large historic centre, port, and services, and the headland there is the main local landmark. Messina is also close enough for higher-order services and ferry links to the mainland. This part of the coast is known for small seaside settlements, citrus and olive cultivation in the plain and lower slopes, and views across the strait-side corner of north-eastern Sicily.
