At €90,000 (€500/m²), the asking price is slightly above comparable local pricing, and the listing does not state the home's condition. A typical renovation allowance would substantially reduce the value unless the property is already habitable.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable, generously sized country house with multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, furnished kitchens, and a large private-feeling garden/orchard. The rocky Sicilian landscape behind the house adds character, while the €90,000 price for 180 sqm and outdoor space is compelling. Its main weakness is dated décor and a fairly ordinary exterior rather than standout historic or architectural beauty.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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 fully usable but dated and likely need cosmetic modernization.
- The sale covers only the autonomous ground-floor unit; the upper floor belongs to family members.
- The garden and land are attractive, but the setting is inland rather than a spectacular sea-view location.
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.
