In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €39,000 for 60 sqm, the ask is €650/sqm; with a typical 'needs renovation' budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,350/sqm. That is well above this catalog baseline of €442/sqm in Sicily townhouses, but it is a central Pedara house with terrace and no veto issues, so it looks decent rather than cheap.
More on the house and the area
This is a real little house rather than a shell: it has floors, radiators, a bathroom and usable rooms, plus a large rooftop terrace. The terrace and upper outlook give it the main appeal, with some borgo roofs and Etna-facing mountain views in the distance. But the interiors are plain and tired, and the overall feel is functional rather than dreamy.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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 78/100Mount Etna is within the 15 km radius, with the southern Etna slopes and lava landscapes immediately above the town. The Monte Gorna and Monti Rossi volcanic cones are nearby on the Etna side. The Parco dell'Etna covers the mountain above the built-up belt. The nearest ski lifts are those on Etna south around Rifugio Sapienza, roughly a 30-40 minute drive depending on road conditions. Catania is the nearest large city and provides the full range of city services, rail links and the main airport for eastern Sicily. The area is known for vineyards, pistachios, orchards and villages built with Etna stone on the volcano's lower slopes.
