At €389/m², the asking price is near the local benchmark, but the 180 m² farmhouse is entirely to renovate, implying roughly €1,100/m² in works and an all-in cost near €1,489/m². The sea is about 2 km away and the 950 m² buildable portion adds value, but this is still a costly renovation project.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€71,000 – €105,000
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.
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 78/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily, with the Nebrodi mountains rising immediately inland. The Nebrodi Regional Park begins a short distance south, covering the mountain interior with forest, pasture and reservoirs. The coast here faces the Aeolian Islands, which are visible in clear weather but are offshore rather than part of the local landscape. The nearest sizeable inland centre is Sant’Agata di Militello itself, which functions as a service town with a port, rail station and hospitals and shops for the surrounding coast and Nebrodi villages. This stretch of coast is known for the contrast between a narrow seaside plain and the wooded Nebrodi slopes behind it, and for links inland to towns such as San Marco d’Alunzio and Mistretta on the mountain edge.
