What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 for 100 m², total restoration brings the estimated effective cost to about €160,000 (€1,600/m²), versus a €441/m² local baseline. The historic-center location, garden, terrace, and sea proximity add value, but the property requires complete renovation, making the discount illusory.
More on the house and the area
The proposed courtyard design is striking, with multiple terraces, a small garden, dramatic spiral stairs and attractive old-stone surroundings in Marsala’s historic center. However, this is currently a total-renovation project rather than a livable home, so the visual appeal cannot justify a top score.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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 images are architectural renderings, not photographs of the finished home.
- The listing explicitly says both buildings require complete renovation.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a five-room, four-bedroom layout; utilities, roof and structural condition are not confirmed.
- The garden is small and enclosed, with no verified sea or town view.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Marsala, so the resident setting is urban fabric on the low western Sicilian coast. The Stagnone lagoon lies immediately north, with the Isola di Mozia in the lagoon. The coast here is flat and salt-pan country rather than cliffed shore. Trapani is the nearest larger town and Palermo airport is the main airport used for the area. Marsala is known for its fortified wine and for the saline landscape of the Stagnone.
