At €20,000 (€118/m²), the price looks low, but the 120 m² house requires renovation and the adjoining 50 m² deposit has already been demolished. With estimated works of about €700/m², the effective cost is roughly €818/m², well above the local €445/m² benchmark; the Graniti/Alcantara tourist setting offers some upside.
More on the house and the area
The townhouse has genuine Sicilian character, with substantial stone walls, old timber ceilings, a traditional fireplace, and a leafy fig tree along the lane. However, it is clearly a major renovation project rather than a usable home today, despite the very low €20,000 price.
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€34,000 – €60,000
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 interiors are dusty and deteriorated, with damaged finishes and aging roof timbers.
- The listing states that the 120 m² house needs renovation and that the adjoining 50 m² deposit has been demolished.
- No finished bathroom, kitchen, utilities, or structural condition are clearly confirmed in the photos.].replace(
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 74/100The cluster lies in the lower Alcantara valley, with the Peloritani and the first slopes of the north-eastern Sicilian hills around it. The Alcantara river and the Gole dell'Alcantara are within this area. The Parco Fluviale dell'Alcantara covers the river corridor here. Taormina is the nearest town of size nearby, with a substantial historic centre and services. This part of the valley is known for lava and river-cut landscapes, citrus and olive cultivation, and as the inland side of the Taormina area.
