Why this price is what it is

At €99,000 (€569/m²), the purchase price is above the local €445/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €200/m² for a habitable 1960s home gives an effective cost near €769/m². The existing €900/month lease supports an attractive gross yield of about 10%, and the property is only 4 km from the sea, but it is sold with a long-term tenant and the listing does not say its energy class.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a highly atmospheric Sicilian townhouse with a striking antique-filled interior, warm historic styling, exposed beams, arched openings, and a distinctive old-world façade. It appears structurally habitable rather than a renovation shell, but its current commercial layout and long-term tenancy make it more compelling as a characterful investment than as an immediately livable dream home.

Updating, not renovation
€35,000 – €50,000

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€12,000 – €20,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Currently occupied by a long-term tenant and presented as an antique shop, so it is not immediately available as a private home.
  • Only one bathroom is shown for 174 sqm, and no kitchen is visible in the gallery.
  • Directly road-facing with no visible garden, terrace, or notable 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.

The area around

Location score 78/100

Mount Etna rises immediately inland, with the lower eastern slopes and lava-built terraces within this area. The Alcantara river valley is nearby to the north, and the coast on this stretch is the Ionian shore between Fiumefreddo beach and Giardini Naxos. The Parco dell'Etna begins higher up on the mountain above the coastal belt. The nearest ski lifts are on Etna around Piano Provenzana, roughly an hour's drive depending on the starting point and road conditions. The nearest town of size is Giarre, with everyday services and rail connections, while Taormina is nearby on the coast with a major historic centre and tourism. The area is known for citrus groves, especially around the Fiumefreddo plain, and for the meeting of volcanic slopes, river gorges and the Ionian coast.
