At €417/m², the asking price is close to the local €407/m² benchmark before allowing roughly €24,000 for basic updates, while the garage adds some value. The listing does not say whether the house is habitable, its construction year, or its energy performance, so the true renovation budget remains uncertain.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 120 sqm historic-looking urban house with rough stone walls, an old entrance, garage, and a rooftop terrace, offered at a low price. However, the visible interiors are dark, bare, and heavily worn, so it currently reads more as a renovation project than a beautiful home ready to live in.
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.
- The house appears very neglected and likely needs substantial renovation, cleaning, and systems work.
- The gallery shows mainly a dark garage and stairwell rather than usable living rooms, kitchen, or bathroom.
- No scenic view or meaningful private outdoor space is demonstrated; the terrace is only mentioned in the description.
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 51/100The cluster lies on the Plain of Catania, with broad low agricultural land around the town and the foothills rising inland toward the Iblei. The San Leonardo river runs near Lentini, and the Lentini plain has long been used for citrus cultivation. Lake Lentini is close to the town; it is one of the larger artificial lakes in Sicily and part of the immediate landscape. Catania is the nearest large city, with full city services, a major rail station and the airport. This area is known above all for oranges and other citrus from the plain.
