See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 plus an estimated €49,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,557/m²—far above the local benchmark of €445/m². Sea views, immediate coastal proximity and 500 m² of land add appeal, but the listing does not specify the renovation scope enough to justify this premium.
More on the house and the area
The spectacular elevated sea view, large terrace and approximately 500 sqm of olive-planted land give this house genuine dream-home appeal. It is a real roofed house with tiled floors, a working-looking kitchen and bathroom, but the interiors are dated and damp-stained, while the exterior needs meaningful renovation before comfortable full-time living.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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.

- Needs substantial renovation, including damp and damaged plaster throughout.
- Exterior walls, terrace structure, railings and unfinished adjoining areas need inspection and likely repair.
- Steep hillside setting may mean difficult access and higher construction costs.

The area around
Location score 55/100This is inside the built-up area of Messina on the Strait of Messina, with the Peloritani mountains rising immediately behind the city. The coast here is urban shoreline rather than a distinct scenic coastscape, and the daily setting is dominated by dense city fabric, port infrastructure and major roads. The Peloritani offer ridge roads, wooded slopes and smaller hill villages a short distance inland. Messina itself is the nearest large centre and has the ferry port to Calabria, university, hospitals, rail connections and the main city services of northeastern Sicily.
