What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €47,000 for 80 sqm, the asking price is €588/sqm; with a 'da rivedere' condition, an estimated renovation cost of about €700/sqm brings the effective cost to roughly €1,288/sqm. That is well above the local cheap-stock baseline of €445/sqm, but the house is near the sea (3 km), has 17 photos, and includes a terrace with buildable rooftop area, which supports a still-positive score for a renovation project.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, usable house rather than a shell: clean floors, finished walls, a bathroom in place, and a big roof terrace make it easy to imagine living here after some refreshment. The best visual asset is the sunny patio and huge terrace, but the interiors are plain and dated rather than beautiful, with little historic character or view. At €47k, it feels appealing as a practical Sicilian home with outdoor space more than a true scroll-stopping dream property.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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 updating despite being clean and usable.
- No real scenic view is shown; the roof terrace is large but mostly enclosed by walls.
- Outdoor space is narrow at ground level and the upper terrace looks very bare.
- Listing itself says the property is 'da rivedere'.
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 immediately inland, with the lower eastern slopes and lava-built terraces within this area. The Alcantara river valley is nearby to the north, and the coast on this stretch is the Ionian shore between Fiumefreddo beach and Giardini Naxos. The Parco dell'Etna begins higher up on the mountain above the coastal belt. The nearest ski lifts are on Etna around Piano Provenzana, roughly an hour's drive depending on the starting point and road conditions. The nearest town of size is Giarre, with everyday services and rail connections, while Taormina is nearby on the coast with a major historic centre and tourism. The area is known for citrus groves, especially around the Fiumefreddo plain, and for the meeting of volcanic slopes, river gorges and the Ionian coast.
