Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €29,000 (€274/m²), the asking price is well below the local €464/m² reference, but the listing does not state the condition, age, energy class, or renovation needs. Allowing roughly €700/m² for an uncertain country-house renovation brings the effective cost near €103,000, so the apparent discount may largely disappear.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, functioning two-level home rather than a renovation shell, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, marble stairs, and generous living space. Its strongest feature is the broad panoramic view over the Sicilian hills and historic rooftops, complemented by a characterful old-town facade. The decor is dated and the exterior needs attention, but €29,000 for 106 sqm makes it an unusually compelling livable-home proposition.
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€21,000 – €37,000
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 furnished and usable but very dated, with old fixtures and finishes.
- The facade shows weathering and exposed utility wiring; renovation and compliance checks are advisable.
- Energy class, heating details, and exact condition are not provided.
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.
