Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The 75 m² house is described as habitable, giving an estimated effective cost of about €93,000, or €1,240/m², versus roughly €390/m² for comparable Sicilian farmhouses. The 5,000 m² olive grove with 75 mature trees adds value, but the listing is not an obvious bargain based on the dwelling alone.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable Sicilian farmhouse with furnished interiors, two bathrooms, a large covered veranda and a well-equipped kitchen, not a renovation shell. The 5,000 sqm olive grove with around 75 mature trees, abundant greenery and distant mountain views gives it a strong rural-living appeal. Its beauty is more about the land and lifestyle than architectural charm, but the price makes the overall package compelling.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€330,000 – €558,000
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.
- The interiors are functional but plainly finished and dated rather than characterful.
- Heating, energy performance, utilities and legal status are not shown.
- The property is close to the SS 284, so road noise and access should be checked.
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 62/100Mount Etna is immediately to the east and northeast, and Adrano sits on the southwestern side of the volcano on the Simeto valley edge. The Simeto river runs through this part of inland Catania province. The Parco dell'Etna begins on the mountain above the built area. The nearest ski lifts are on Etna around Rifugio Sapienza, roughly an hour by road depending on conditions. Catania is the nearest large city, with the airport, port, university and major services. Adrano has a Norman castle and an old centre, and this side of Etna is known for lava landscapes, pistachios and other Etna foothill agriculture.
