See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €55,000 (€491/m²), the €1,100/m² full renovation estimate brings the effective cost to roughly €1,591/m², far above the local €464/m² benchmark. The 2 km distance from the sea is a plus, but the property is explicitly described as totally to renovate.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial independent Sicilian house with some character, especially the vintage patterned floors, high ceilings and old chandelier, but there is no standout view or exterior setting. It is a real roofed and floored home with bathrooms, yet the severe damp, worn finishes, exposed services and stated need for total renovation make it a major project rather than a ready dream home.
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€44,000 – €66,000
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.
- Advertised as totally needing renovation, with widespread damp, peeling plaster and dirty or damaged finishes.
- Kitchen is not shown, and utilities, wiring, plumbing and bathroom condition need thorough professional checking.
- Access is through narrow shared-looking passages and multiple steps; no garden or meaningful view is visible.
- The property appears roofed and floored rather than a ruin, but substantial work is needed before comfortable occupation.
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.
