This is primarily 7,131 m² of land with a 50 m² rural ruin, not a legally presented livable home. At €19,900 (€332/m² before restoration), the apparent discount is outweighed by the ruin condition and land-focused sale.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely beautiful, with sweeping views toward Mount Etna, wooded hills, olive trees, fruit trees, and extensive land. However, the stone building is a collapsed, uninhabitable ruin rather than a usable home, making this primarily a land-and-reconstruction 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€24,000 – €35,000
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 50–60 sqm rural building is a heavily damaged ruin with collapsed sections and no visible bathroom, kitchen, or usable interior.
- Major structural rebuilding, utilities, access improvements, and permits may be required.
- The property is isolated on sloping agricultural land, so everyday access and maintenance could be demanding.
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.
