At €100,000 for 255 m², the stated renovation need implies roughly €278,500 all-in, or €1,092/m²—far above the €445/m² local comparison level. The description says the first floor is sold separately, so the advertised price and included floor area are unclear.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, independent multi-level townhouse with numerous balconies, a roof terrace, garage, and enough space for a family or B&B. However, the photos show a dated and worn interior requiring substantial modernization, while the exterior is utilitarian rather than especially beautiful; it is a renovation opportunity, not a ready-made dream home.
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€50,000 – €90,000
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 throughout, despite having kitchens and bathrooms.
- The property appears to be split across multiple floors, and the first floor is reportedly not included in the stated price.
- Dark interiors, dated finishes, visible wear, and limited natural light reduce immediate livability.
- No scenic view, garden, or distinctive historic features are shown.
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 55/100Mount Etna rises immediately to the east and north-east, and Paternò sits on the lower inland side of the volcano in the Simeto valley. The Simeto river runs through this area. The Parco dell'Etna begins on the higher slopes above the settled belt. The nearest large city is Catania, with the full range of urban services, port and airport. Paternò is known for its Norman castle on a hill above the town and for citrus and agricultural land on the volcanic plain.
