What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is explicitly 'da rivedere', so I treated it as needing renovation at about €700/m2: effective price is roughly €155,000 total, or €1,550/m2 for 100 sqm. That is far above the local stock baseline of €445/m2, although the package is helped by the 4 km sea distance plus garage, terrace and dépendance.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable home, not a shell: the rooms are complete, bright, furnished, and the house looks immediately habitable. The wow comes more from value and practicality than beauty, with a decent private courtyard, trees, and barbecue area but a fairly ordinary urban setting and dated finishes throughout. At €85k for 100 sqm plus courtyard, dependance and large garage near the sea, it has solid live-in potential after cosmetic updates.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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 dated and need refreshing.
- Exterior setting is enclosed and urban, with no real view.
- Only one bathroom is shown.
- Garage/dependance areas look basic and partly 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.
The area around
Location score 78/100Mount Etna rises inland from this stretch of coast, and the lower eastern slopes are within the local area. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the Riviera dei Ciclopi around Aci Trezza and Aci Castello just to the south. The Timpa di Acireale is a coastal nature reserve with a lava escarpment above the sea. Catania is the nearest large city, with a full range of services, rail links and the airport. This part of eastern Sicily is known for Etna landscapes, citrus cultivation and baroque town centres rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake.
