At €95,000 plus an estimated €110,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €2,050/m² versus €389/m² for comparable homes in the area. The sea proximity and large garden add appeal, but the property is totally to be renovated, making this a weak deal at the asking price.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine Sicilian farmhouse character, with weathered arched openings, old plaster, a cistern, and a large 1,200 sqm garden near the coast. However, it is clearly a renovation project rather than a usable home: the interiors appear empty and neglected, with significant work needed before it could be lived in.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Totally to be renovated; the gallery shows no finished living spaces, kitchen, or usable bathroom.
- The garden is heavily overgrown and will require substantial clearing and landscaping.
- Roof, utilities, structural condition, permits, and access should be verified before purchase.
- The property is in a village street rather than a private rural setting.
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 inland from this stretch of coast, and the lower eastern slopes are within the local area. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the Riviera dei Ciclopi around Aci Trezza and Aci Castello just to the south. The Timpa di Acireale is a coastal nature reserve with a lava escarpment above the sea. Catania is the nearest large city, with a full range of services, rail links and the airport. This part of eastern Sicily is known for Etna landscapes, citrus cultivation and baroque town centres rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake.
