Livable, but something basic is worn out

At €950/m² before works, this 100 m² townhouse would cost roughly €165,000 after an estimated €70,000 renovation, or €1,650/m²—far above the local comparison level of €416/m². Being 800 m from the sea and having a terrace adds appeal, but not enough to offset the renovation-adjusted price.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, functioning townhouse with a kitchen, bathroom, tiled floors, and a generous terrace, rather than an empty shell. Its main character comes from the exposed-stone cellar, while the living spaces are basic and dated and the exterior lacks strong visual appeal.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €35,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The home is usable but clearly dated and needs renovation or substantial cosmetic updating.
- The large terrace is practical but worn and visually plain, with little privacy.
- The stone cellar/storage areas look damp, cluttered, and unfinished.
- Being 800 m from the sea is attractive, but no sea view is shown.
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 72/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast at the foot of the Nebrodi mountains. The coast here faces the Aeolian Islands, which are visible in clear weather but offshore. The Nebrodi Regional Park begins inland, with wooded slopes, pasture and higher mountain terrain within the local hinterland. The nearest sizeable town is Sant’Agata di Militello, which provides rail links, shops, services and a marina. This stretch of coast is known for a narrow coastal plain backed quickly by mountains, with citrus groves, olives and hill villages in the interior.
