What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €90,000 price equals about €474/m², close to the local benchmark, but this 190 m² property is explicitly to renovate and could require roughly €133,000 more, bringing the effective cost to about €1,174/m². Its 3 km distance from the sea and buildable 280 m² plot add value, but the listing provides only two photos and does not specify bathrooms or the full condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a large independent property near the Sicilian coast, with 190 sqm and a sizeable rear plot, but the available material shows no visual beauty or distinctive character. It is explicitly sold for renovation and has no confirmed bathrooms, so it currently reads more as a substantial project than a ready-to-live-in 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€38,000 – €67,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is required; the listing provides no usable bathroom or kitchen details.
- Only floor plans are shown, with no evidence of interior character, views, exterior appeal, utilities, roof condition, or access.
- The 280 sqm rear plot is described as buildable, but its condition and development potential should be verified.
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 74/100Monte Erice rises immediately above the area, with the hill town of Erice on the summit and the slopes descending toward the Trapani plain and the Tyrrhenian coast. The coast nearest the area is the Gulf of Bonagia and the sea around Cornino and Custonaci. The Monte Cofano Reserve lies within this radius on the coast near Cornino. Trapani is the nearest town of size, with port services, shops, schools and rail connections. Erice has a preserved historic centre and is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This part of western Sicily is known for sea-salt pans around Trapani and Paceco, tuna-fishing history on the coast, and views toward the Egadi Islands.
