What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 for 60 sqm, the ask is €983/sqm; with sparse details and no stated condition, a cautious mid-level renovation estimate brings the effective cost to about €1,483/sqm, far above the low-stock baseline of €503/sqm. The terrace is a small plus, but the listing is too vague to justify the premium.
More on the house and the area
The big private terrace is the clear selling point and gives it some lifestyle appeal for the price. Inside, though, the home looks basic, empty and in need of finishing/furnishing rather than charming or characterful. It seems like a usable house with work to do, not a dream-home scroll stopper.
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.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Interiors are very plain and partly unfinished, with an empty kitchen area.
- No real view beyond neighboring buildings despite the large terrace.
- Photos suggest a basic town property rather than a country house.
- Possible garage is only mentioned in text, not proven by photos.
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 38/100Mount Etna rises to the north and is the dominant landform of this part of the Catania plain. The Simeto river runs nearby across the plain. The cluster lies on the western side of the built-up Catania area, in lowland country of roads, logistics sites and cultivated land around the airport corridor. Paternò is the nearest larger town inland, and Catania is close by with the full services of a provincial capital and airport. Motta Sant'Anastasia is known for its Norman tower on a volcanic neck above the plain.
