At €38,000 (€284/m²), the 134 m² house looks cheap upfront, but it is completely in its original 1965 condition. Allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to about €984/m², well above the €464/m² local benchmark.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial single-level property with weathered Sicilian stonework, traditional tiled roofs, a private courtyard and a sizable garden with citrus and palm trees. The distant mountain outlook adds some appeal, but the house is entirely original and visibly neglected, with an unusable bathroom and rough storage areas. It has character and renovation potential rather than immediate living appeal.
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€26,000 – €47,000
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.
- Major renovation required throughout, including plasterwork, finishes, bathroom and likely utilities.
- Interiors are dusty, deteriorated and not currently move-in ready.
- Roofing and structure of the old outbuildings should be professionally inspected.
- The property fronts a principal road, so traffic noise and privacy may be concerns.
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 82/100Monte Erice rises directly above the area, with the historic hill town on the summit and steep slopes dropping toward the Trapani plain and coast. The Tyrrhenian coast is nearby, with the salt pans and lagoon landscape between Trapani and Marsala within the surrounding area. The Monte Cofano and Zingaro coasts are farther away and do not define the immediate landscape. Trapani is the nearest town of size, with port, rail links and full services. Erice is known for its medieval hill town and views over western Sicily.
