At €447/m², the asking price is about 7% below the local €483/m² benchmark, and the apartment is described as habitable with autonomous heating and a cellar. Allowing roughly €23,800 for light work brings the effective cost to about €647/m²; the location just 1 km from the sea adds value.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, unusually inexpensive apartment with some genuinely elegant interiors, including paneled halls, polished floors, a modern living area, and a smart bathroom. The ornate historic building adds character, but the dark deteriorated room and inconsistent gallery prevent a strong confidence that the whole home is truly move-in ready.
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.
- The gallery is highly inconsistent: polished luxury interiors appear alongside a dark, visibly run-down room, so the actual condition is unclear.
- No bathroom count is recorded in the facts despite a bathroom photo; verify the layout, utilities, and whether all photos belong to this apartment.
- Apartment living in a dense urban building, with no private outdoor space or documented view.
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 58/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast at the foot of the first inland hills east of Palermo, with the Gulf of Termini Imerese immediately present. The San Leonardo river reaches the sea here. The Madonie range rises inland to the southeast, but the main massif is mostly beyond the 15 km radius. Termini Imerese is the nearest town of size and has a port, rail station, services and a substantial historic centre. Palermo is the nearest major city for higher-order services and transport, but it is farther west and does not affect the score. The area is known for its coastal position between Palermo and Cefalù and for the thermal history of Termini Imerese.
