Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 (€524/m²), the house is explicitly sold to be renovated; adding an estimated €119,000 renovation cost brings the effective total to about €208,000, or €1,224/m². That is roughly three times the local €407/m² reference, so the apparent low asking price is offset by the substantial work required.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, genuine three-level Sicilian townhouse with beautiful vintage terrazzo floors, ornate ceiling moldings, traditional woodwork, balconies, and a surprisingly well-preserved lived-in interior. It is usable as a home rather than an empty shell, but the décor, kitchen, bathroom, and likely systems are dated, so this is a characterful renovation project rather than a move-in dream home.
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€34,000 – €60,000
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.
- Clearly dated interiors and kitchen/bathroom may need modernization.
- The listing describes it as needing renovation; systems and roof condition should be checked.
- Urban attached setting with no visible garden or significant view.
- Energy class G and only one bathroom for 170 sqm.
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 55/100Monte Bonifato rises immediately above Alcamo and is protected as the Bosco di Alcamo reserve. The Gulf of Castellammare and the Tyrrhenian coast are about 6 km away, with beaches around Alcamo Marina and Castellammare del Golfo within the local area. Segesta lies nearby with the Doric temple, theatre and archaeological park in the inland hills. Castellammare del Golfo is the nearest substantial coastal town and provides a marina and everyday services. This part of western Sicily is known for vineyards and wine production around Alcamo.
