In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 163 sqm, the asking price is €583/sqm, already above this stock baseline of €444/sqm; with a full restore implied by 'totalmente da ristrutturare' plus a raw unfinished upper floor, the effective cost is roughly €1,683/sqm. The historic-center location and 1 km from the sea help, but the numbers still point to only a fair deal unless bought for a major renovation project.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, sizeable townhouse rather than a ruin: the ground floor is enclosed, floored, and currently usable, with a basic kitchen and bedrooms already in place. But the wow factor is low—street presence is plain, interiors are dated rather than characterful, and the first floor is still a rough project space. Its main appeal is value and location near the sea rather than beauty.
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€65,000 – €96,000
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.

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 68/100The Tyrrhenian coast is at the edge of the settlement, with beaches and short rocky stretches between Casteldaccia, Santa Flavia and Altavilla Milicia. Monte Catalfano rises just east at Santa Flavia, a coastal limestone massif protected as a nature reserve, with open views over the gulf. The Eleuterio river reaches the sea nearby. Palermo is the nearest large city and provides the full set of services, rail connections, port and airport access. Bagheria, a nearby town of size, is known for its historic villas, including Villa Palagonia and Villa Cattolica. Solunto, the archaeological site above Santa Flavia, is within the same coastal strip. This stretch is known for citrus cultivation and for the fishing and seaside settlements of the eastern Palermo coast.
