This is a judicial-auction listing, which makes it unsuitable for the catalog regardless of its apparent €169/m² price. The advertised 120 m² is only an estimate, the listing says the photos are not real, and key property details are unavailable.
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.
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 82/100Mount Etna rises immediately east of Bronte, and the town sits on the western side of the volcano in the upper Simeto valley. The Simeto river runs through this area. Parco dell'Etna begins close by on the volcano's slopes. The nearest ski lifts are on Etna around Piano Provenzana and Rifugio Sapienza, roughly about 1 to 1.5 hours by road depending on conditions and the side of the mountain used. Adrano is the nearest sizeable town nearby, while Catania is the main city for higher-order services and the airport. This area is known across Italy for pistachio cultivation, especially the Pistacchio Verde di Bronte PDO.
