At €70,000, the purchase price is only €184/m², but a substantial renovation across 380 m² at about €700/m² brings the effective cost to roughly €1,068/m², well above the €445/m² local comparison level. The listing does not clarify the legal habitability or renovation scope of the semi-basement level, and one bathroom for this size adds uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric historic townhouse with an elegant Sicilian facade, ornate doorway, wrought-iron balconies, original patterned cement tiles and a glimpse toward the sea. The property has real character and impressive space, but the interiors are dusty and visibly deteriorated rather than move-in ready, making it a substantial restoration project rather than an immediately livable 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€75,000 – €133,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Substantial renovation is needed: peeling finishes, damp/mold signs, aging windows and services are visible.
- Only one bathroom is listed for roughly 380 sqm, and the gallery does not clearly prove a finished, usable kitchen or fully functioning utilities.
- The very large two-level layout could make renovation and heating costs significant.
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 58/100This is inland south-central Sicily on the low hills and valleys between Naro and the lower Platani basin, with cultivated countryside and badland-like clay slopes in places. The Mediterranean coast around Licata is the nearest coast, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Agrigento is the nearest larger town, with the Valley of the Temples archaeological area and full city services, but it lies beyond the local radius. The area is known for agriculture, especially vineyards, olives and almonds, and for the historic hill towns of this part of the province.
