What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €20,000 (€175/m²), the price looks low, but a full restoration at roughly €1,100/m² gives an effective cost near €1,275/m², well above the €467/m² baseline. The ground floor is cadastral C/2 and the condition/details are incomplete, creating legal and renovation uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is an unusually cheap whole townhouse with colorful Sicilian façades, balconies, patterned floors, and glimpses toward the surrounding mountain landscape. However, it is a renovation project rather than a polished dream home: the interiors are usable-looking but very dated, cluttered, and clearly require significant work.
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€45,000 – €67,000
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.
- The entire three-level building is explicitly sold for renovation and appears dated, cluttered, and in need of substantial modernization.
- Only one bathroom is listed for 114 sqm and seven rooms.
- Dense town setting means limited privacy and street parking rather than a private rural environment.
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 72/100The cluster is on the slopes above the Conca d’Oro west of Palermo, with Monte Caputo immediately above Monreale and the inland ridges of the Sicani and western Sicilian uplands starting not far to the south. Palermo and the Tyrrhenian coast are close by, but within the immediate 15 km radius the defining feature is the hill setting over the plain rather than open coast. Monreale itself has the cathedral and cloister with UNESCO status as part of Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale. Palermo is the nearest large city and provides the full range of services, rail links and airport access. The area is known for the historic mosaic cathedral and for citrus and olive cultivation on the slopes and plain.
