At €350/m², this central Alcamo apartment is attractively priced, with a veranda, terrace and 12 photos. The condition is not stated, so allowing about €200/m² for updates puts the effective cost near €550/m², slightly above the local €482/m² benchmark.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely usable 80 sqm apartment with a generous covered veranda, bright rooms, functioning bathrooms, and attractive original terrazzo floors. It is more practical than dreamlike: the interiors are dated, the kitchen is not shown, and there is no proven view or distinctive historic character.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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 finishes and bathrooms will likely need cosmetic modernization.
- The kitchen is not shown, so its presence and condition are unclear.
- Visible staining/damp marks appear around parts of the covered veranda.
- Urban surroundings offer no evident scenic view or private garden.
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.
