In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable 120 m² apartment with heating, terrace, balcony and sea access at €625/m²; allowing about €24,000 for light works brings the effective cost to roughly €825/m². That is materially above the €485/m² level typical for comparable Sicilian stock, though the 2 km sea location and strong amenities provide some value.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely habitable 120 sqm home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, balconies, and a standout rooftop terrace overlooking the surrounding town and mountains. The marble floors, generous rooms, air conditioning, and existing kitchen make it usable immediately, though the decor and bathrooms are dated and the building exterior is not especially attractive.
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.
- Interiors and bathrooms are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The large rooftop terrace and some exterior concrete/railings show visible age and may need inspection or maintenance.
- This is a dense urban apartment rather than a standalone home with garden or land.
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 Tyrrhenian coast is at the edge of the settlement, with beaches and short rocky stretches between Casteldaccia, Santa Flavia and Altavilla Milicia. Monte Catalfano rises just east at Santa Flavia, a coastal limestone massif protected as a nature reserve, with open views over the gulf. The Eleuterio river reaches the sea nearby. Palermo is the nearest large city and provides the full set of services, rail connections, port and airport access. Bagheria, a nearby town of size, is known for its historic villas, including Villa Palagonia and Villa Cattolica. Solunto, the archaeological site above Santa Flavia, is within the same coastal strip. This stretch is known for citrus cultivation and for the fishing and seaside settlements of the eastern Palermo coast.
