In the listingRenovatedSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €59,000 (€584/m²), the home is already 31% above the local €445/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €150/m² for the advertised refresh raises the effective cost to about €734/m². Central positioning, terrace and commercial potential help, but the “recently renovated” claim conflicts with the need for work and heating is not available.
More on the house and the area
A photogenic historic townhouse with an especially attractive Sicilian street façade, ornate stone surrounds, original patterned floors, and timber ceilings. The house is structurally complete and includes finished bathrooms, tiled living areas, a kitchen space, and a terrace, but several rooms still look damp, worn, and in need of refreshing before they feel fully comfortable.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Interior walls show damp staining, cracks, and substantial cosmetic wear.
- Heating is listed as unavailable, and the property has only one bathroom.
- The terrace is an internal courtyard-style space rather than a scenic outdoor view.
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.
