At €45,000 (€474/m²), the stated full renovation of the interiors, balconies and exterior surfaces could add about €104,500, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,574/m² versus €394/m² for comparable local stock. Being immediately by the sea and having 25 photos are positives, but the renovation burden makes this substantially overpriced.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious two-level home with intact floors, kitchen, bathroom, balconies, and a pleasant sunny street setting near the sea. However, it is visually plain and clearly needs substantial updating, with damp or peeling ceiling areas and dated interiors, so it is a renovation opportunity rather than a ready-made 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€38,000 – €56,000
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.
- Requires general renovation, including damaged ceilings, finishes, balconies, and exterior surfaces.
- Interior is dated, with likely upgrades needed to bathrooms, kitchen, systems, and insulation.
- No sea view is shown; the property is near the sea rather than visibly overlooking it.
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.
