What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description says the 130 sqm townhouse is completely to be renovated, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation; that makes the effective cost roughly €223,000 total, or about €1,715/sqm. Against the low-stock baseline of €446/sqm for similar Sicilia townhouses, this is far above ordinary value; the panoramic terrace/view helps a little, but not enough.
More on the house and the area
There is some real appeal here: an old Sicilian townhouse with period floors, tall rooms and a genuinely panoramic position promised by the terrace and valley outlook. But the condition is a major limiter — heavy deterioration is visible, especially in the bathroom and ceilings, and the whole house reads as a full renovation rather than a usable home today. The view and character save it from being ordinary, but it is more project than dream-home right 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€51,000 – €76,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated
- Visible water damage and major ceiling/plaster decay
- Interiors are cluttered and not currently move-in ready
- Outdoor terrace/courtyard is rough and unfinished
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.
