What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,171/m², the €89,000 villa is roughly 3× the Sicilia villa baseline of €389/m², making it weak value even assuming habitable condition (€200/m² renovation estimate). The description and 27 photos are positive, and the 400 m² outdoor space adds appeal, but condition and building details are missing.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely livable Sicilian villa with warm exposed timber beams, a fireplace, fitted kitchen, tiled interiors, and extensive covered outdoor living space. The mature olive and citrus garden, plus views toward the surrounding hills, give it strong Mediterranean appeal; it looks move-in ready overall, though the exterior needs some cosmetic upkeep.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €9,000
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 exterior shows some weathering and stained render, so maintenance may be needed.
- Only one bathroom is listed, and the gallery does not show all bedroom and bathroom spaces.
- The property appears to be in a quiet semi-rural setting rather than a historic village center.
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.
