At €19,900 for 7,191 m², this is explicitly advertised as land with a ruin (“terreno con rudere”), not a legally established livable townhouse. The property would require major reconstruction and does not meet the catalog’s dwelling criteria.
More on the house and the area
The Etna and mountain views are genuinely spectacular, and the 7,191 m² hillside has mature olive and fruit trees with attractive rural character. However, the stone building is a severely damaged ruin with collapsed sections and no habitable interior, so this is a land-and-rebuild project rather than a home someone could realistically live in.
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€2,848,000 – €4,207,000
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 advertised building is a genuine ruin with major structural collapse and no usable interior.
- No bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, or livable services are shown; substantial reconstruction or replacement is required.
- The large sloping rural plot may have difficult access and utility-connection constraints.
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 71/100The cluster is in the lower Alcantara valley, with the Peloritani foothills and the first ridges inland above the Ionian coast. The Alcantara River and the Gole dell’Alcantara are within this area, with the river cutting a basalt gorge used as a regional botanical and geological park. Taormina is the nearest town of size nearby, with a substantial historic centre and visitor services. The area is known for the Alcantara gorge landscape, citrus and olive cultivation, and its position between the inland valley and the Taormina coast.
