Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Detached villa in Savoca (Sicilia) at 675 EUR/m2, ~75% above the local median of 387 EUR/m2, so the baseline is solid but the price is well above typical. Needs renovation (not habitable as-is), and expect ~700 EUR/m2 to make it livable. Upsides: 320 m2 of buildable adjacent land with expansion potential, independent structure, 13 photos, fresh listing. Downsides: no building year, no energy class, no sea distance, and the premium over median offsets the land bonus. A negotiable but not standout deal.
More on the house and the area
Dilapidated detached house in the small hamlet of Rina (Savoca) requiring full renovation. Photos show heavily degraded exterior walls, exposed brickwork, a rusty makeshift canopy, an old concrete washbasin, and overgrown surroundings. The village setting is ordinary rural Sicily with hillside backdrop but no standout view, historic charm, or nature appeal. The 320 sqm buildable land is a practical plus, not a wow factor. Overall presentation is unremarkable and off-putting rather than eye-catching.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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 76/100The cluster is on the Ionian side of the Peloritani hills above the Strait of Messina, with steep slopes dropping toward the coast. The Ionian Sea is immediately below, and the Alcantara valley lies within this stretch of coast to the south. Taormina is the nearest town of size, with services, rail access and major historic fabric, and Messina is the larger city for hospitals and full urban services. Mount Etna is a dominant presence across this coast and is reachable for longer outings, but it is not inside the immediate 15 km setting. This part of the coast is known for hillside villages, citrus and olive terraces, and sea views along the Messina-Taormina shore.
