In the listingRenovatedSee what needs doing and what each job costs
This is not currently a normal habitable dwelling: the ground floor is C/2 (garage/storage) and the upper floors are F/3 unfinished units with no partitions or systems, while the facts label says Renovated. At €90,000 for 400 sqm the ask is only €225/sqm versus a €405/sqm baseline, but with a full build-out cost of about €1,100/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,325/sqm, so it is not a bargain and has legal/completion risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, solid concrete-frame building with a private outdoor area and very low price per square meter, but it has little visual charm. The residential floors are clearly still at shell stage, with open window voids and no finished interiors, so this is a project rather than a home you could live in now.
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€158,000 – €234,000
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.
- Upper floors are still unfinished at raw shell stage
- No bathrooms, kitchen or internal divisions are visible
- Exterior is plain and not especially charming
- Livability depends on a full fit-out and systems installation
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 52/100The area is in the inland Sicani hills, with cultivated ridges and valleys typical of central-western Sicily. The Belice and Madonie ranges are farther away and do not define the immediate landscape. Palermo is the nearest major city for services, while nearby inland towns such as Caltavuturo and Alia provide ordinary day-to-day amenities. This part of inland Sicily is known for cereal farming, olive groves and low hill country rather than for a single named natural feature within the immediate area.
