Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The asking price is €600/m², but with the condition unspecified, a cautious renovation allowance brings the effective cost to about €1,300/m²—well above comparable local stock around €403/m². The independent three-level layout and 2 km proximity to the sea add value, but the listing does not say whether the home is currently habitable or what work is required.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, autonomous 150 sqm Sicilian townhouse with several bedrooms, two bathrooms, balconies, a covered terrace, and a clearly livable interior. Its patterned floors, traditional furnishings, shutters, and decorative details add character, while the €90,000 price is attractive for the size. However, the dense urban setting, dated finishes, and vertical layout make it more of a practical bargain than a dream-home showstopper.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- Interiors are fully furnished and usable but noticeably dated, especially the kitchen and bathrooms.
- The home is arranged over three levels with many stairs, which may limit accessibility.
- The outdoor space appears to be balconies and a covered terrace rather than a garden, with no special view shown.
- The rooftop is described as a technical area for water tanks, not a finished living terrace.
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 68/100The Tyrrhenian coast is at the edge of the settlement, with beaches and short rocky stretches between Casteldaccia, Santa Flavia and Altavilla Milicia. Monte Catalfano rises just east at Santa Flavia, a coastal limestone massif protected as a nature reserve, with open views over the gulf. The Eleuterio river reaches the sea nearby. Palermo is the nearest large city and provides the full set of services, rail connections, port and airport access. Bagheria, a nearby town of size, is known for its historic villas, including Villa Palagonia and Villa Cattolica. Solunto, the archaeological site above Santa Flavia, is within the same coastal strip. This stretch is known for citrus cultivation and for the fishing and seaside settlements of the eastern Palermo coast.
