See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €53,000 (€221/m²), the 240 m² house appears inexpensive, but it needs substantial renovation and includes a ground-floor warehouse/workshop plus a third floor still at the rough-build stage. Allowing roughly €168,000 for works brings the effective cost to about €921/m², well above the local comparison level of €464/m²; the listing also does not state the legal status or condition of each part.
More on the house and the area
A large traditional Sicilian town house with genuine stone walls, old tiled floors, carved doors, wraparound balconies, and a glimpse toward the surrounding mountains. The lower floors are clearly functioning as a real home with kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and furnishings, but the property is dated and heavily weathered, while the top floor remains unfinished. At €53,000 for 240 sqm, its strongest appeal is the combination of historic character, generous space, and renovation potential.
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€48,000 – €84,000
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 exterior concrete balconies and stonework show significant weathering and may require structural inspection.
- The third floor is still a rustico/unfinished level, and the house needs substantial renovation rather than simple decoration.
- Access is through narrow lanes and steep communal stairs, with no visible private outdoor space or parking.
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 70/100The Nebrodi range rises immediately inland, with steep wooded and pastoral slopes above the Tyrrhenian side of the province. The Fitalia stream valley cuts down to the coast here, and the Tyrrhenian is a few kilometres north around the Sant’Agata di Militello shore. Nebrodi Regional Park begins inland in this part of the range. The nearest substantial town is Sant’Agata di Militello, which has the usual rail and road services, a marina and the main shopping and administrative functions for this stretch of coast. This area is known for hazelnuts, olive groves and the mixed mountain-and-sea geography typical of the western Nebrodi side.
