Casa indipendente in Contrada Iannello 29
Ci sono case che si comprano e case che si scelgono. Questa, arroccata sulla collina di Contrada Iannello, appartiene alla seconda categoria: la strada sale tra gli ulivi, il paese resta sotto, e dalla terrazza all'ultimo piano lo sguardo corre libero sulle colline dei Nebrodi fino al mare. Un fabbricato indipendente su tre piani fuori terra, costruito nel 1966...
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€293/m²), the 205 m² house is below the €467/m² regional baseline, but assuming renovation at about €700/m² brings the effective cost to roughly €993/m². The sea is only 2 km away and there are 51 photos, but the condition and key technical details are missing.
More on the house and the area
A substantial three-storey Sicilian house with terraces, olive trees, and an impressive elevated outlook toward the Nebrodi hills and sea. The home is clearly roofed, furnished, and usable rather than a shell, but it needs a meaningful cosmetic and systems refresh to become an attractive full-time residence.
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€41,000 – €72,000
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.
- Interiors and bathrooms appear very dated, with peeling paint and aging doors/windows.
- The steep hillside setting and narrow access road may be challenging for parking and daily mobility.
- Roof, utilities, heating, and structural condition are not verified from the photos.
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 78/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily, with the Nebrodi mountains rising inland a short distance behind the shore. The coast here faces the Aeolian Islands, which are visible in clear weather, but they are offshore and do not count as part of the immediate landscape. The Parco dei Nebrodi lies inland within this part of the province and gives the area a clear mountain backdrop of wooded ridges and upland villages. Brolo has a seafront and beach, and Capo d'Orlando is the nearest larger coastal town with broader everyday services, shops and rail connections. This stretch of coast is known for citrus, olive groves and summer seaside tourism.
