Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The apartment is described as in good livable condition, so estimated renovation is modest at about €200/m², but the effective cost is roughly €1,253/m² (€119,000 including renovation), far above the local comparison level of €482/m². Parking, terrace and a possible 40 m² garage add appeal, but the €100,000 asking price remains high for the area and the G energy rating is a drawback.
More on the house and the area
A bright, spacious and clearly usable 95 sqm apartment with two bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, full bathroom, air conditioning, heating and a generous balcony. It appears move-in ready, but the dated finishes, standard residential setting and lack of a compelling view or historic character keep it in the charming rather than dream-home range.
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€6,000 – €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 suggests potentially higher running costs.
- Second and top floor with no elevator.
- The exterior and interiors are practical but dated rather than characterful or especially scenic.
- Garage availability is described as a possibility, not clearly included.
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 55/100Mount Etna rises immediately northwest of the city and dominates this stretch of the plain and coast. The Ionian coast is at the edge of the built-up area. The Simeto plain lies just south and west. Catania is a major city with an airport, port, university, major services and a large historic centre with baroque buildings; the late-baroque towns of the Val di Noto are a UNESCO site, and Catania is part of that listing. The area is known for Etna, citrus on the plain, and the black lava-stone fabric of the city and nearby settlements.
