See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €45,000 (€714/m²), this 63 m² home needs full renovation; using about €1,100/m², the all-in cost is roughly €114,000 (€1,814/m²), far above comparable local stock around €400/m². The Etna-area location is a modest positive, but it does not offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This independent Sicilian house has a pleasant open hillside outlook, mature greenery, and useful outdoor space near the Etna foothills. However, the real interiors are dated, damp-stained, and clearly in need of substantial renovation, so it is a promising project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€25,000 – €37,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including damp/mold remediation, finishes, and likely kitchen and bathroom upgrades.
- The garden/land is overgrown and will require clearing and ongoing maintenance.
- The attractive kitchen and living-room images are labeled renderings, not the current condition.
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 74/100Mount Etna dominates the area to the west and north-west, with the lower volcanic slopes and lava-built settlements of the Etna foothill belt around Aci Catena. The Ionian coast is nearby at Acitrezza and Aci Castello, with the Riviera dei Ciclopi and the sea stacks of the Isole Ciclopi within about 15 km. The Timpa di Acireale nature reserve is nearby on the coast north of the town. Catania is the nearest large city, with full urban services, a major rail station and the airport. The area is known for its volcanic landscape, citrus cultivation and the Cyclops coast linked to Sicilian myth.
