See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000, the house costs €444/m² before works, but its stated renovation needs add roughly €63,000, bringing the effective cost to about €1,144/m² versus €407/m² for comparable local homes. The central location, private courtyard and garage help, but they do not offset the substantial renovation premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical independent 90 sqm house with a garage, multiple rooms, tiled floors, and a functioning-looking bathroom layout. However, it has little visual charm or proven setting appeal, while the unfinished kitchen, damp-marked walls, exposed wiring, and severely deteriorated courtyard make it a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
- Needs substantial renovation, including damp-damaged plaster and unfinished surfaces.
- Kitchen appears unequipped, and the bathroom needs completion or upgrading.
- The internal courtyard is in very poor condition and may require significant rebuilding or waterproofing.
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 54/100Mount Etna rises immediately to the north-west and is the dominant landscape feature of this area. The Simeto plain lies to the south and west, with the Simeto river crossing the wider area. The cluster sits in the built-up belt on the inland side of Catania, with the city of Catania close by for a full range of services, rail links and the airport. The lower slopes of Etna with vineyards, lava terrain and towns such as Belpasso and Nicolosi begin within a short drive. The nearest ski lifts are on Etna around Piano Provenzana or Rifugio Sapienza, roughly 45-60 minutes by road depending on conditions. Etna is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the Etna Regional Park covers the mountain above the urban belt. The area is known for volcanic landscapes and agriculture linked to Etna and the plain.
