What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €850/m² is 2.2x the town median of €387/m², so despite needing renovation it's priced well above baseline. Positives: independent villa, 100m² with garage (2 cars), private courtyard, garden, portico, and buildable terrace on the first floor adding expansion potential. Negatives: no building year or energy class provided; 'needs renovation' implies ~€400/m² additional cost; the premium over local comps is hard to justify even accounting for the buildable extra land. Fresh listing (1 day) so no staleness concern, but the price/baseline gap makes this a poor value unless the buildable rights are exceptionally valuable.
More on the house and the area
Modest street-level independent house in Paternò needing renovation. Facade is worn and unremarkable. The only mild draw is the private courtyard with garden, grapevine pergola and portico, plus a 100sqm terrace with build potential. No stunning interiors or exteriors shown, no views. Ordinary fixer-upper with land upside but nothing scroll-stopping.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€12,000 – €20,000
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 area around
Location score 62/100Mount Etna rises immediately to the north, and the Simeto River runs by Paternò. The cluster lies in the broad cultivated plain at the western edge of the Catania plain, with Etna dominating the skyline rather than inside the built-up mountain belt. The Parco dell'Etna begins farther up the volcano and is not in the immediate plain around the town. The nearest town of major size is Catania, with a full city range of services, rail links, port and airport. Paternò is known locally for its Norman castle on the hill above the town and for citrus and other agriculture of the Simeto plain.
