Asking €75,000 plus estimated renovation €700/m² → renovation ≈ €84,000, so effective cost ≈ €159,000 (≈€1,325/m²) versus regional median €446/m²; 2 km from the sea and a 60 m² terrace help, but the heavy renovation makes the all-in price well above local norms.
More on the house and the area
A roomy, solidly-built townhouse with a large, private rooftop terrace and a pleasant panoramic outlook — rare for this price. The interior is largely intact (floors, high ceilings and original doors) but needs a proper renovation to be fully livable.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €42,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 61/100The coast of the Gulf of Castellammare is within the 15 km radius, with beach stretches around Magaggiari and the low limestone headland of Capo Rama, which is a WWF reserve. Inland, this part of western Sicily is a belt of low hills with citrus groves, olive land and scattered limestone relief. Palermo airport is next to the area and is a practical feature of daily life, but it does not change the landscape score. Partinico is the nearest larger town with everyday services, while Palermo is farther east for higher-order services and transport. The area is known for coastal agriculture and for access to the airport corridor on the west side of Palermo.
