The €35,000 asking price becomes roughly €101,000 after restoring 60 m² at an estimated €1,100/m², or about €1,683/m² versus a local reference of €464/m². The approved project and attractive Savoca location near the sea are positives, but this is still a substantial ruin rather than a ready home.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely spectacular, with wide sea and mountain views beside Savoca’s historic stone architecture and church buildings. However, the property itself is a small derelict shell requiring a full rebuild, so this is an attractive project rather than a usable home today; the €35,000 price is compelling mainly for the location and approved plans.
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€24,000 – €35,000
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.
- This is explicitly a rudere, not a move-in-ready home.
- The approved project indicates substantial reconstruction, with no interior living spaces shown.
- Difficult hillside/borgo access and construction logistics may add significant cost.
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 76/100The cluster is on the Ionian side of the Peloritani hills above the Strait of Messina, with steep slopes dropping toward the coast. The Ionian Sea is immediately below, and the Alcantara valley lies within this stretch of coast to the south. Taormina is the nearest town of size, with services, rail access and major historic fabric, and Messina is the larger city for hospitals and full urban services. Mount Etna is a dominant presence across this coast and is reachable for longer outings, but it is not inside the immediate 15 km setting. This part of the coast is known for hillside villages, citrus and olive terraces, and sea views along the Messina-Taormina shore.
