Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €89,000 for 100 m², the price is €890/m², or roughly €1,090/m² including a modest €200/m² allowance, well above the local €482/m² benchmark. The 1 km sea access, garage and terrace add value, but the listing does not state the condition and the G energy class may require upgrades.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable three-bedroom apartment with a large sunny terrace, working kitchen, two bathrooms, and a garage. Partial views toward the sea and mountains add real appeal, although the interiors are conventional and dated rather than characterful or design-led.
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€7,000 – €11,000
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.
- Energy class G and likely older systems/finishes.
- Interiors are fully usable but dated and heavily furnished.
- The sea and mountain views are partial and partly screened by trees and neighboring buildings.
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 78/100Mount Etna rises inland from this stretch of coast, and the lower eastern slopes are within the local area. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the Riviera dei Ciclopi around Aci Trezza and Aci Castello just to the south. The Timpa di Acireale is a coastal nature reserve with a lava escarpment above the sea. Catania is the nearest large city, with a full range of services, rail links and the airport. This part of eastern Sicily is known for Etna landscapes, citrus cultivation and baroque town centres rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake.
