See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €73,000 (€348/m²), the asking price is below the local €394/m² benchmark, but the stated renovation need adds an estimated €147,000, bringing the effective cost to about €1,048/m². The central location, garage and terraces help, but they do not offset the substantial renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial old town palazzetto with a convincing Mount Etna view from the upper terrace, a street-facing balcony, traditional patterned floors, and original period character. It is a real, roofed house with a bathroom, garage, storage, and existing room layout, but the interiors are heavily worn and require meaningful renovation before comfortable full-time living.
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€42,000 – €74,000
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 internal renovation and modernization are needed, including plasterwork, finishes, and likely systems.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 210 sqm property.
- No private garden is visible; the home is in a dense town-center setting.
- The rooftop terrace and the condition of the roof and utilities should be verified.
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 88/100Mount Etna rises immediately above the area, and the cluster sits on the north-eastern flank of the volcano within the Etna landscape. The Alcantara river valley and the Gole dell’Alcantara are nearby to the north. Parco dell’Etna begins around the upper part of the territory. The nearest ski lifts are at Piano Provenzana on Etna, reached in about 20 minutes by road. The nearest larger town is Giarre on the Ionian side, with rail services and everyday shopping; Catania is the main city for higher-level services and the airport. The area is known for Etna vineyards, hazelnuts and pistachios from the volcanic slopes.
