At €99,000 (€556/m²), the asking price is already above the local €464/m² benchmark, and allowing roughly €200/m² for an unspecified condition puts the effective cost near €756/m². The 4 km distance from the sea and long-term tenant add investment appeal, but the listing does not state the building condition, energy performance, or rental income.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric Sicilian property with warm historic interiors, exposed beams, arches, antique furnishings and genuine character at a low price per square metre. However, it currently functions as an antique business rather than a home, with severe clutter, a dated bathroom and no visible kitchen or proper living accommodation, so its dream-home appeal depends on successful conversion and clearing.
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.
- The property is currently a long-running antique shop, not presented as a ready-to-live-in home.
- The interiors are extremely cluttered, and no kitchen or bedroom setup is shown.
- The single bathroom appears dated; the roof, electrics, permits and residential conversion status need verification.
- The rear courtyard/storage area is very untidy and likely needs substantial clearing and improvement.
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 78/100Mount 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.
