Priced at €445/m2, essentially in line with the local median (€450/m2), so no pricing edge. The property is 'allo stato grezzo' (bare/shell state) meaning it is not habitable and needs full finishing — expect ~€600/m2 to complete three levels. Large 220 m2 townhouse near sea (1 km) with independent structure is a plus, but zero photos, no energy class, no building year, and only 1 bed/1 bath declared for a 5-room house raise concerns. Fresh listing (0 days). Fair opportunity for a renovation project but not a bargain; total cost after works pushes well above resale baseline.
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, €600/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€44,000 – €77,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
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 55/100This is on the Gulf of Gela coast, with long sandy shoreline and the mouth area of the Gela river nearby. The Biviere di Gela nature reserve lies just outside the town, centred on the coastal lagoon and wetland behind the shore. Gela is itself a sizable town with full services, a port, and a substantial archaeological presence linked to the Greek city, including the museum and ancient remains. The wider surroundings are mostly low coastal plain and cultivated inland countryside.
