At €298/m², the asking price is 26% below comparable local stock, but allowing about €200/m² for modernization brings the effective cost to roughly €498/m², above that benchmark. The 198 m² independent home is in fairly good condition, includes a garage and 18 photos, but is 31 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
A substantial Sicilian town house with a characterful facade, multiple balconies, a garage, and generous accommodation over several floors. The interiors are furnished and clearly usable, with three bathrooms and functioning living spaces, but they are dated and need cosmetic updating rather than presenting a polished dream-home feel.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Dated interiors and finishes need general cleaning and modernization.
- Exterior plaster, balconies, drainage and wiring should be inspected carefully.
- Dense urban setting with no visible garden or notable view; energy class G.
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 46/100The cluster lies in the inland plain and low hills between the Simeto valley and the Calatino area. The Simeto river runs in this part of the province. The nearest larger town is Caltagirone, which has a substantial historic centre and is known for ceramics. Catania is the main city for services and transport, but it is outside the immediate landscape. This area is known mainly for citrus growing and mixed agriculture.
